Presentation of a tournament
A tournament is just a collection of several simultaneous games of Diplomacy. Thus, each team sends a commissary (representative) on several tables. In general a tournament gathers seven teams of seven players, but it is not mendatory. The players of the same team can help each other by providing tactical and strategic advice, typically on a mailing list. The tournament makes it possible to meet players of other communities to confront its manners of playing. The biggest question of the tournaments is the importance of 'Cross gaming', i.e. arrangements illogical locally on a table but logical with respect to several tables.Advantages of a team tournament:
- players are replaced within the team when they become unavailable,
- captain may enter emergency orders for late players,
