Details/Brackets

[Jacs9]

Instead of the top 32, why not consider the top 50 or even 100 ? Haha then I stand a chance to participate.

[Eijolend]

It's probably because 16 people single elimination already takes 4 rounds - and because of the slow nature of outwitter tournaments that could probably take quite long.

[joelduque]

Willing to take part if a spot for me is available. Only #30 on that list.

[Gf!sh]

@Jacs9 that's because we are taking CombatEX' Seasons Top 32, which, as the name states, is only 32 names long, and is a combination of all Top 100/200's of August-October.

@Eijolend I was planning to play a group round first, like the World Cup, but yeah, that's still 1 group round + 3 elimination rounds.

[Jacs9]

Got it. So the only way to qualify is to rise up in ranks the next season.

[Necrocat219]

How about an all out brawl of the top 200? ( Lemme iiiiiiiin )

[GreatGonzales]

Gfich just FYI, I ran a similar tournament for the game Hero Academy - invitation only to top players, like this - and I found that it was rather difficult to get people to confirm their interest in participating. I did eventually get to 16 players, but only barely. I recommend starting a game with these people and sending a chat to get their attention!

[Gf!sh]

Well, that might be a good idea, but i think it's rather rude to do so, so I will probably only do that as a last resort option. I thought of PM'ing Alex and/or Adam to promote this on the in-game news page (we all know what that did to the 2v2r open), along with the Seasons Top 32, as I think it would be a great addition to the normal Top 200.

[CombatEX]

I'll send Adam a PM and hopefully he can make an announcement with the 32 players on this list included. Also, poweewee's name should be green =)

Anyway, thanks for setting this up Gfich! It's precisely what I had in mind, but I wasn't sure I really had the time to commit to organizing this tournament. Maybe put a 'Reserves' section beneath the Season 1 Ranked player confirmation list (more on that below)? Also, this last part isn't too important, but could we perhaps alter the name a bit to reflect that this is the Season 1 tournament? This way it will reinforce the tournament's correlation to the seasonal league rankings. Outwitters Season 1 Tournament sounds rather bland compared to your name, but some that can incorporate Season 1 would be nice. I like your formatting in your post by the way. Looks great!

Tournament Participation Priority

Priority (highest to lowest)
1. Season 1 Top 16
2. Season 1 Ranked players (in this case the Top 32)
3. Unranked players in the Top 200
3a. Priority for these players will be determined at the end of the signup period (likely done in the same way the Season 1 rankings were calculated)

So, if you're in the top 200, feel free to register for the tournament. There's no guarantee you'll get in, but it's possible if the 16 slots aren't filled by the registration deadline.
