DC Invitational

Introduction

The DCI or Diplomaticcorp Invitational is a small 2 round tournament that was established in 2006 by Stephen Lytton (Deathblade_penguin).

The idea was to invite the top players of DCI, who had reduced their game load, to play in a game of diplomacy - the idea to have the best of the best and encourage players back into the game of diplomacy.

Now after 2 years, the tournament has expanded. In 2008 there will be 2 rounds consisting of 14 players from DCI. These players will be some of the best, active and loyal players in diplomaticcorp dating back to the foundation of the club in 2000. The players are invited to play based on their game stats, including looking at number of games, number of soloes, percentages of soloes, number of draws, percentage of draws, seconds, nmrs and of course Civil Disorders.

There is going to be a provision to include some 'member' choices in the next DCI as well as inviting the winner of the annual winter blitz and the best 'new' player.
