After last year's success we're having another Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
tournament over at crawl.akrasiac.org and crawl.develz.org. All you
have to do to compete is play; if you're interested in team play, you'll
have to edit your options file. You can see what last year's tournament
results looked like at http://crawl.akrasiac.org/tourney/overview.html .

I have added in some new achievement trophies this year, similar to the
achievements that can be scored in the devnull nethack tournament. I'm
also open to changing some of the numerical values for things, although
I think last year worked about right based on how I imagined it. Please
comment, though, if you have ideas or suggestions.

Thank you,

The proposed tournament plan:

The big change this year will be the addition of award banners: Things
you can get that put you on a list as achieving a certain goal in
the tournament. Some of them are pretty standard: Rune, Win. Some of
them are a little goofier and it's theoretically possible to win the
tournament without getting them. I appreciate your thoughts on this;
I can make changes until Friday when we will start coding all of the
changes to the tournament software so that we can run some smoke tests
before the tournament happens.

WINS:
----
100 points for first win. (Since winning is kind of the goal.)
50 points for second win that is not a repeat race or class.
10 points for each win thereafter, repeat or not.
50 extra points for your first all-rune victory.
100 extra points for each consecutive win that is not a repeat race or class.
30 extra points for each consecutive win that is a repeat race xor class.
10 extra points for each consecutive win that is a repeat race and class.
30 extra points for each non-consecutive win that is not a repeat race or
  class.
10 extra points for each non-consecutive win that is a repeat race xor class.
Award banner for winning.

For streak wins, "Repeat" means "in that streak;" for non-streak wins, "repeat"
means "ever."

SPECIAL WINS
------------
200/100/50 points for fastest win in realtime.
200/100/50 points for fastest win by turncount.
200/100/50 points for first win scored.
200/100/50 points for first 15-rune victory.

RUNES
-----
10 points each time you find each type of rune for the first time.
1 point each time you find any rune a second or later time.
Award banner for first rune.

UNIQUES
-------
5 points the first time you kill each unique.
50/20/10 points for most unique uniques killed; ties broken by who gets
  that number first.
"The Scythe": Award banner for "I killed Sigmund twenty-seven times."

HIGH SCORES
-----------
5 points per high score in a race/class combination (HuWn, not just Hu)
5 additional points for each high score that is a win.
10 points per high score in a race.
10 points per high score in a class.
200/100/50 points for most high scores in race/class combos.

NO POINT BANNERS
----------------

"Pantheist": Chose every God not as a starting God. (Beogh and Lugonu
are tricky here! Also detecting this is vaguely tricky; technically it
works out to "died or won with every God with a character class that
cannot start as that God.)
"Agnostic Pantheist": Has abandoned every God.
"Rune Literacy": Has seen each type of rune at least once.
"Moose and Squirrel": Has killed Boris at least twice in a single game.
"Atheist": Won a character who never took a god and was not a DG.
Open to other fun things here with the restriction that we need to be able
to calculate them from milestone and log files.

CLAN POINTS ONLY
------------
These get you clan points but do not get you points toward the individual
prize, encouraging specialization on clans but making the hypothetical
"Best Crawl Player" award based on more "real" metrics.

50/20/10 points for lowest dungeon level reached at XL1.
2 points per player ghost killed when playing
N points per ghost kill after dying, where N is the dying character's
  XL minus 5.
200/100/50 for _clan_ with most high scores in race/class combos.
100/50/20 for _clan_ with most uniques killed (or all uniques killed
  first)

CLAN SCORING
------------
Sum total of individual points for wins, runes, and uniques, sum total of special wins
points, sum total of high scores points,
plus "Clan points only" trophies above.
Six members or less per clan.
