I have been told recently that I was not posting enuf information on my tournaments. My standard announcement looks something like this

=========================================================================================================================
Example name
number points
Month/day/starting time

Words to describe stuff like WYSIWYG and to say what other wacky expectations I have. The words can be a lot for strict formats or almost nothing if I don't have any restrictions. I think you get the point.
=========================================================================================================================


But that does not seem to satiate the desires of some. I have been asked for things like what scenarios would be played and how exactly scoring would be dealt out. what teraign would be used and who would be paired up against who in the first round. I was even asked what armies would people be playing.

Now I think we can all agree that nobody could post what armies will be used or who you will be playing, those two are just crazy talk. but I would like to know if my minimalist take on the announcements of events is to minimal. Do people need more information than when, where and what is and isn't allowed?

Take a look at some of the other rtt listings on this forum. Other than what you put down, I would only add :
1. Round times, including how long lunch is, when you plan for the tourney to end, etc.
2. A general idea of the misssions, like ' just Crusade' or a mix of Maelstrom or simply "Custom missions"...

Check the Game Empire thread, Original Post. these are the rtts I usually attend.
