[i-andrei]

Will give it one more week.
If we won't get close to 32, then first 24 that signed in will get into the tourney.

[pissedoffsol]

i'll play

[HardAttack]

in please

[Suppurator]

In please!

[Zemljanin]

I'd like to play, if the tournament is going to start soon. If not, I'm still in, I'd like to keep a possibility of withdrawing

I want to play, but if the tourney doesn't begin soon, I might decide to withdraw. (I am afraid of very unpleasant possibility - that my premium expires in some late stage of tournament)

Anyway, I'm in at the moment

[i-andrei]

I'll start it with 24.

will get 8 groups of 3 people, so 6 games to start with and as in the first post 2 will advance in upper bracket and 1 in lower bracket.

I will add the scores for the seeding tomorrow when i get to a pc, and if i get the privileges, will also send invites.

[Nut Shot Scott]

I cant wait to get knocked out of this right away. So exciting.

[i-andrei]

Ok, so challonge doesn't have a seeding system in place, or at least not a fair one based on points.
So I did the rankings, matched up 1w24, 2w23 up to 8w17, and positions 9 to 16 randomized in random.org.

So bracket is available at https://challonge.com/7m10GS.
Will be sending invites in the next few hours.

[i-andrei]

Invites sent. Darrin has to check his subscription I think. I will resend later on another invite for him.

Have fun everyone!!

[HardAttack]

thank you andrei out of putting your efforts to cook this tourney which is so delish

[i-andrei]

tubaman would like to retire from the tournament. Given all games where sent, I will try and find a replacement in the next couple of days.


So there's a free spot!

REPLACEMENT NEEDED! HELP!

[Kotaro]

I gotchua i-andrei, count me in as your substitute soul reaper.

[i-andrei]

Thank you!

Unfortunately we can't modify the groups, so you will be stuck with me and RedBulls! I'll send the invites now!

[i-andrei]

Couple of days in and fersum and pissedoffsol exchanged a victory and now they're fighting on First nations map for the game win. Good luck!

Been trying to find a way in challonge to generate the bracket for 24 participant and didn't manage, so I generated it in excel and will use that after group Stage, that is if I can't find it until then.

38/72 games completed, 3/24 duels completely over., only those scores added to challonge page.
I estimate Gr stage to be over in 2-3 weeks time at most.

Posting here the message I sent to all participants


Hello all,

Group Stage is almost over and I am coming to everyone involved with a question.

The Tournament format that I had in mind when I started this was to send first 2 of each Group into Upper bracket and 3rd position into Lower Bracket. Challomg has something similar https://challonge.com/7m10GS/bracket, but It's not 100% as the one I designed in the google docs one https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qdgeybRolLVJBYOE1gj6rFMKkY6EoTRKZK_XG57nzvI/edit#gid=0.

With that in mind, I would like to use the Challonge bracket because it's easier and automated and to give byes to 2nd placed in that bracket so the format remains the same as the one I originally had in mind.

Posting this on the forum aswell.

I will use this format, unless any of you involved objects to it. If i don't get an objection reply here or on the forum I will consider this settled



Also, 56/72 games in group stage are completed as of today

[Zemljanin]

It's fine with me, but now isn't entirely clear which maps and settings are played in which round. Could you rewrite that part please?

[i-andrei]

What do you mean?
The number of players and the bracket dictates that. So whenever you have x Players in Upper bracket, the maps played are those for Upper x.

For example now, we'll have Upper 16 players, so same maps as group stage. 8 platers will fall into Lower, and there will be 16 there also, they will play Pot mosby, Baltic Crusades and Texan Wars, and so on.
Which one is not clear?

[Zemljanin]

I didn't see the whole picture, so I wasn't aware that we still have upper and lower bracket (I saw the upper bracket and thought it's all).
Let me try:

Everybody except group winners will now play this:

Winners of the games 1-8 will play this in the next round:

Losers of the games 1-8 will play this in the next round:

Unless I dramatically improve my play very soon (not very likely), further stages are irrelevant for me...
