Currently, we have always active two iterations of last two weeks maps. Sometimes it is 3 or 4 when the map from two weeks ago isn't yet filled. I suggest to reopen an add an additional iteration where first map will be Classic then when it gets filled open Middle East, Far East etc from maps 1 until the last one.
Advertise that this reopening the maps was done through pms to every CC player, like when Dukasaur had advertised in the Dispatch and then the maps got quickly filled.
This will benefit both huge number of new players who can start the challenge from the beginning and also some player who missed some maps and want to have fairer participation chance.
If this reopening the new maps does not work as expected (like if games need to fill for a very long time), you can at any time remove this concept and go back to the original concept.
While I fully understand the thought process in this post, but understanding/knowing all upcoming event that will take place, I can't just go back over 33 tournament type and made extra iterations, I have way too much on my plate right now and with the extra stress caused by this World health crisis is not quite helping spending more time online, yes there is a surge up with new players though I believe some may not even participate being a "5 years" event but only while they are confined, on the other hand I truly hope this exceptional time we are going through will bring long term new comer/returned members. CC has and will have a wide variety of tournament & event and we should have things for everyone.
Thanks for your understandings.
