New 1vs1 tournament being organized: EU and NA together?

Losing during group stage gets you out of the tournament completely?

What happens if all the best players are in the same groups, during that ruins the tournament a bit if some of them get eliminated before the tournament even starts?

Coming below the top two of each group in the groupstages..will knock you out yes.

Players will be seeded by the appropriate admins? of each tournament (EU and American) so that for example #1 #2 #3 #15 #16 #17 seeds wont all be in the same group.


Personally i'd prefer random groups, i think thats better? but from what i know anyway seedings will be used.

players will be seeded and the script automatically calculates which players go into which groups based on the seedings.

To make it clear: if you loose one match in the group stage is doesn't mean that you are already out. It only means that you get 0 points for that match. For a won game you'll get 2 points, for a draw game 1 point.

Based on the points you got in your different matches inside of your group the script shows a group ranking. The 2 best players advance.

I've found a better way of finding out who is allowed to start eliminating maps when trying to find the 3rd map: a simple cointoss command, which will be available in the upcoming version of the tourney mod. The players have to agree who chooses head and tail, then do a vcall cointoss, and the server will randomly either say "head" or "tail". So it kind of reflects the IRL procedure.

Other than that I'm working on it so that we can open the signups very soon. Maybe today.
