I suggest a series of 8 matches - 4 duels chosen by each competitor - none of the rounds may be the same as a previous - scoring and victory is decided by the community. 

It's the only way.

Just one question... Does the community add points or deduct points for playing drunk?

There is only one solution: ja'chug

What is ja'chug?

Playing drunk results in a natural rather than automatic loss of points.

If you win, however.... What a glorious ja'chug!

berickf is a very strong player. He deserves his victories. He does tend to play boards that de-emphasize luck, which makes it easier to develop long winning streaks. It would be essentially impossible for someone to win > 70% of the time playing 1v1 on Wargear Warfare, for example, but in Iwo Jima it would be reasonable to win > 90% of the time if you play better than your opponents.

Speaking of playing on lucky boards... Here it is! One year premium membership on the line!  A bit of skill and a bit of luck required: http://www.wargear.net/tournaments/view/1730

I have asked Tom to add a round because I want it to be huge!  After it's there I'll get to inviting.  I think Tom is busy right now though with the site freaking out like this though so it could be a while yet before it gets to filling quickly.
