To all those who participated in first or second KAC Cup - rules are changed slightly: turns limit is 180 (not 250 turns) to balance it games ar started with advance start (300 points).
1. Game settings
All games will be played in pairs (1 vs 1) using following settings:

Size: tiny
Climate: temperate
Sea level: medium
Era: ancient
Game speed: normal
Level: prince
Options: advanced start - 300 points, no barbarians, no technology trading, always war, no tribal villages, no random events. Rest of options disabled.

If both players chose the same leader, host should uncheck 'anonymous' option and start a game with the same leaders.

2. Tournament prizes

II place - Civ4: Complete, The Witcher, Prince of Persia: Warrior's Soul
III place - Civ4: Complete, Prince of Persia: Warrior's Soul
IV place - Civ4: Complete
3. Tournament system
Tournament will be played using single elimination system - loser in each game is eliminated from tournament. Players eliminated in semi-final will play to decide who gets third place in tournament.
4. Games dates
Each tournament phase lasts for one week - from Wednesday till Tuesday. Players will set up dates for their games in separated forum. If players will be unable to find a suitable date for their game during the week, game has to be played on mandatory day - Tuesday 19:00 CET (Central European Time). First round of tournament starts on 5 December 2007.
If one player will not show up in mandatory date, player who waits in lobby should post on forum in their thread 'I wait in forum'. After 30 minutes game is won by walk-over.
If both players won't show up, they both loose by walk-over. Then player who should play in next round with the winner of this game wins his next game by walk-over.
If both players won't show up for the final, they both end up with second place in tournament.
5. Technical stuff
Player listed as first in pair is host of game and he is responsible for all game settings. Games should be set up using lobby. If players can not connect to each other, they should use hamachi http://www.hamachi.cc/ - network interface emulator. Game should be set up in lobby and second player should enter this game using option 'Direct IP' and supplying IP address of host, which is emulated by hamachi.
If one player suddenly quits the game, the other player has to wait 15 minutes. If quitter will not come back, he is considered as loser of that game.
6. Saving and reloading
If game is not played on mandatory date, then on request of one player game has to be saved and continued later when both players have time, but not later than on mandatory date. If game is played on mandatory date it cannot be saved and finished later. Player who has to suddenly finish and quit (during mandatory date) is losing the game.
7. Games reporting
Games should be reported on forum in the same thread in which players set up for that game. Winner should post information who played and who won. He should also at least briefly describe how the game looked like - which nations they used and how he won.
In case of conflict players have to send via email save made at the end of game to tournament administrators - this will be the only prove that game was played and how it ended up.
8. Setting of tournament pairs
Application period lasts till 3 December 2007. Applicants must use their nicks from civ4 lobby and should be sent to cup@kac.org.pl . This is an individual tournament, however civ clubs members have right to apply as a representation of their clubs and/or countries (logo of club and nation flag will be displayed next to player's nick). Clubs have right to seed their players. Players applying individually will not be seeded. When application period will be closed a tree of players will be build up - players will know with whom they will play up to the final of the tournament. While building the tree of players we will consider all existing players' rankings to make sure that best players will meet at the end of tournament.
9. Other issues
Every aspect of tournament not described in those rules will be arbitrated by tournament's administrators: LDeska i Peter. Correspondence address: cup@kac.org.pl
Notes:
CET - Central European Time. Valid in most of Europe, from Spain in the west to Sweden, Poland, Hungary, Serbia in the east. Portugal, UK and Ireland has time CET-1h, Russia has CET+2h
Official forum of the tournament: http://forum.civilization.org.pl/viewforum.php?f=131 posts should be posted in English or Polish.

but maybe some players doesn't own Warlords and Civ4:Complete contains it. Secondly Civ4:Complete shipped in Poland comes in original language version with additional CD with Polish patch and MOD that adds Polish Civilization 
You may also donate it to run a PitBoss game or to some new player.

I hope that you will join as well, it's just one game per week, we've changed the rules to make it quicker (only 180 turns) but to keep the same level of gameplay we used advanced start (to balance less count of turns). Maybe you will find some time for this
