This is the homepage for the 2007-2009 Boardgame Players Association (BPA) PBEM tournament for Twilight Struggle. Players wishing to participate in the tournament should contact the GM, Darren Kilfara, to formally register their interest. All participants must be members of the BPA – an entry-level Associate Membership costs $10 and allows you to enter as many BPA PBEM tournaments as you wish in the current year. (Players are not required to renew their BPA membership for 2008 and beyond to continue playing in the tournament, although they are certainly encouraged to do so.) Details of how to become a BPA member can be found here.

 

 

 

 

Update (April 16, 2007) It has come to my attention that one of our first-round TS tournament games has suffered the unfortunate occurrence of ending a turn twice in one go (and jumping from Turn 7 to Turn 9 instead of Turn 8). I want to make it clear to everyone that it is vitally important that this does NOT happen, particularly when it comes to adding new cards to the deck pile. Owing to my powers as Moderator, there’s no situation that cannot be fixed, as I can manually adjust every card in the deck as needed. However, such fixes are not straightforward.   So, to underscore the importance of not getting this wrong, henceforth (not counting this initial occurrence) I am going to charge a 5 VP penalty, immediately applicable to the game in question, to any player who mistakenly advances the turn twice. There’s no reason why this should ever happen unless you get impatient at the long processing time it may take for ACTS to move the turn forward; when in doubt, do NOT click on the “End Turn” button again, but rather check your Game Journal to make sure whether or not the turn has been processed correctly. If you have any questions,
