What what what?
A five-round Diplomacy tournament to crown the world champion is what. After the fourth round, the players will be ranked by their top three scores, and the seven best will compete on a top board in the final round for the world championship. All players, including those on the top board, also will vie for the titles of North American Champion and Alpha Weasel zeta, the Weasel Moot VI champion. Those two titles, as well as the official Grand Prix ranking, will be based on best three of five rounds.
