Tourney Nonsense?

This is a 24 team single elimination sample: http://challonge.com/tournaments/bra...ref=gJAS5VY82p
the first 8 team play one round less, it fits to the original 'only 8 team' idea.

I counted 25 team in the sign-up thread, so the last team should be a reserve if one team is not available.

So the first 8 that registered get the spot that they earned for registering early and generating interest and then the remaining 16 can compete with each other for the remaining 8 spots? Sounds good to me!

No, that is not what happened in the previous tournament.



Secondly, you want everyone to re-register and give up their spots just because a few teams could not act quickly?

Yes, five hours to write in your team is ridiculous.
I also want the tournament to be re announced and the news spread around better, via rotating banners ig and every means possible. I want everyone to have a chance to partecipate. I want people to open new forum accounts just for the sake to write in their teams. I want all arlor to partecipate not just the same recycled people from last tournament.

The price to pay is undergoing a difficult run to the finish line and beating a higher number of teams.

Get this tournament basic and raw.

I disagree.

Joining a tournament and participating in it is one's own prerogative & commitment. STG should not hold someone's hand and dedicate their time trying to get players to sign up - that only means that there will be a lack of commitment from players to actually go through with the tournament match.

Anyone who is able to organize a team and be committed on their own is a good match up for a tournament because it means that they will put in the effort required to participate in the tournament. Anyone that cannot means that chances are likely for them to be a no-show.

Additionally, the same recycled people from last tournament are registered because that is the basic population of endgame PvP that is geared. There's about 100-150 people that are geared, excluding arcane rings, in endgame and capable of fighting/proving to be a challenge. That is why you see the same recycled people. If you go through the tournaments, you will notice that the names change but the players do not - this is valid through 2 seasons.

Anyways, I just received word that Remiem will not be adding in any teams period because is this just the first tournament - a trial if you will to learn what to do for newer tournaments. Not everyone can get it right on the first try! On the bright side, she did say there would be another tournament very soon so here's to hoping!

[Anarchist]

Still sux.

Hey everyone,

If you have a concern about the tournament, it'd be best if you contact Remiem about it. I'm going to close this up since it is becoming non-constructive. Thanks.
