DK's Best of 2011 Series: There were a lot of new maps in 2011 that really impressed me, and I wanted to honour them. In this series I use the same 40-35-30-25-20-16-14-12-10-Final8 elimination pattern that I first used in the History of Nuclear War series. The nine maps are always the same, but spoils and other settings vary.

DKs Best of 2011 V - Randomized -- Originally scheduled to feature randomized spoils only, I have expanded it to randomize other settings as well, including game types, deployments, forts, and special gameplay settings. Also, starting with the Randomized tournament I changed to a 50-round limit instead of 100, as well as abolishing the rule used in previous tourneys for replaying games that are won by Map Victory conditions. First posted on January 14th, 2013; completed Aug 25, 2014.
Each of the 25 tournaments in this series will celebrate some aspect of a different town or city on the map. To avoid favouritism, I have randomized the order of the towns. For more information on this series visit the DKs CSFR Frag series Infocentre.
