Winter World Cup WINNER - poweewee (Philippines)

[Torbreck]

We'll I'm up for the prizes it if someone is keen to help run it.

Was thinking I could make it $xxx first, $xxx second and xxx$ third ? (USD) someone can probably suggest the best mechanic to make this work over different countries.

So the main aim would be to have the tournament complete within a reasonable amount of time so it doesn't drag out. I don't mind having a good amount of players so long as it moves quickly. To that end I would suggest that the timeout be set at no more than 3 days and there be no losers bracket - it's straight knockout after the pool stage.

I also favour the idea of forcing multiple races as it has made for some great games In some of the recent tourneys.

So how does something like this sound.....

40 competitors , 8 groups of 5. Groups will be seeded bassed on current rankings.

Everyone plays 8 games (4 as p1 and 4 as p2) and you must use each race at least once.

Top 2 from each group go to semis (16 players) and from there it is knockout (in a best of three - must use three different races) - no losers bracket once you are out that's it.
That will progress from 16 players down to 8, then 8 to 4 and finally the last 2 will play a best of five in the grand final (must use each race once) . Similarly 3rd and 4th will also play off.

We will need to set maps etc and If we get a lot more than.40 interested we could increase the size or number of groups, but that's the basic idea.

Thoughts ?
