Mug madness

Mug Madness, also known as Mixed-up Mug Madness, is a random-format familiar drinking event developed by Ooriki and Yukinon. A Beta Season was held on Midnight in Autumn of 2006, and in 2007, it was announced that all five English-speaking oceans would receive one of these events. The current Leg of the 5 Ocean Tour is for the Viridian Ocean, schedule to be held May 21st through May 26th. Cobalt received the first Leg, and the other oceans will be scheduled approximately every other month.

The Viridian Leg of Season One got off to a difficult start, with the automated qualifiers showing up late, or with settings that were off from the originally drawn random ones. As such, it's not even certain if there was a second qualifier or not, and if so, the winner never stepped forward to claim their spot in the Mixed-up Mug Madness event itself.



Format
The initial Mug Madness tournament will use eight qualifier tournaments to give away eight entrance ribbons. The holders of the ribbons will compete in the main Mug Madness tournament. The qualifier settings are determined using the random format used in the main tourney, except they remain static after the initial tournament creation and don't change with each game played.

The main tournament features best-of-three rounds, with random formats in each game of the round. The format is determined by creating an unrated, six piece/color game and using the first two non-special pieces after the Chips to decide the number of color/pieces and the game goal. Any specials are chugged until two non-specials are in the tray with the chips. The chips are then placed, and the third piece gives the first mug. In the first game, player one may trade the first mug to player two or they may keep it, but the decision is made without knowing what the second mug is. In game two, this decision is given to player two. If there is a game three, there is no swap option.

1st piece: red/orange = 4 color/piece, yellow/green = 5 color/piece, and blue/purple =6 color/piece.

2nd piece: Red = Board Stained, Orange = 3000, Yellow = 2500, Green = 2000, Blue = 1500, and Purple = 1000.

3rd piece: Bottle = CHALICE, Bumpy Glass = TANKARD, Wavy Glass = FLAGON, Jug = PITCHER, Goblet = GOBLET, Champagne Glass = SKULL MUG, Barrel = HORN, and Hook = STEIN.

Main Tournament Bracket


NOTES:

If Qualifier 2 actually happened, no pirate claimed to be the victor and that slot was considered forfeit. Moedefoe conceded the 3rd place match to Hohum.

Special Thanks!! To Moedefoe for pretty much helping us with everything this season.
