Also ... poor stargate hates V1. 
So I think either 65 original or V2 or a different map V1 (I actually like V1 best as well). |
I'm with stargate, I HATE V1.
I'd prefer none or 2. and 5 games at once.
Oh and IN! |

PS - and 2 standard games, 1 V1 game, 1 V2 game, and 1 V1+V2 game, lol. |
I was actually thinking of this; more variety = more fun. |
But that actually makes TWO V1 games. BOOO! |

| The key to variant 1 is to understand the money making and scoring rule differences. They aren't difficult, just different. |

The key to Variant 1 is to play it a bunch.  |

I'm sure someone will be along to prove me wrong, but I think you can only do this with odd-numbered squares (ie, 9 players, 25 players etc).
I assume you have an algorithm for the 25-player tournament. If not, just shout. |
OK, if nobody wants to prove me wrong, I'll do it myself...
Here is one solution for a 16-player tourney. There may be others.
R1: abcd efgh ijkl mnop
R2: aeim bfjn cgko dhlp
R3: afkp belo chin dgjm
R4: agln bhkm cejp dfio
R5: ahjo bgip cflm dekn
I've triple-checked it, and I can't spot the error... |

The 4-p tournament got upgraded to a 5-p and is already under way.
However, keep watching the forums as there may be another one along later... |
