Save Empire Earth

Just an idea:
Why don't we make a jackpot that consist of donations for this cup.
Lets just say everybody who wants can donate to increase the jackpot for this tournament.
I'd donate 10-20 Euro.

Will the finals be recorded for youtube? Would be cool.

Recording some of the games would be awesome. Just out of curiosity, how is the draw made? I'm looking forward to this tournament, providing everybody turns up.

draw will be random starts saturday
there is the loser bracket if someone gets too strong opponent in the first round
it can theoretically win the tournament from there
final will be recorded

as regards the jackpot do not think that everyone is willing to donate it
without sponsor Unfortunately no prices
the tournament should main just for fun
This is about honor and glory

When will the drawings be published? I think it'd be pretty cool to have them a few days before the tourny begins.

I agree with Samuel, the draw should be made 2-3 days before the tournament begins. Also, how on earth does this loser bracket work? If somebody is drawn vs too strong an opponent??? Explain?

draws starts Saturday because i cant add more players in the tournament when the brackets are online.
the more players the better
so dont stress

All Losers in 1. Round come in a separate Bracket called Loser Bracket.
there play the loser against each other
then come the loser of the 2nd and 3rd round also there in
you will see it is not so complicated

Loser bracket is a great idea. Gives DavE something to look forward to

Lol. You're becoming very predictable now Zen, see you in the semi's probably

If I am correct...
the winner of the loser bracket will have to win the final twice (2 bo3 series) in order to win the tournament, right?

the Loser of the Final Winner Bracket plays
against the winner of the Loser Bracket
the winner of this match plays the Final

Not entirely sure I understand how that works, but I'm sure it will become more apparent once the tournament starts. Just another suggestion, I personally think making the Semi-finals and the final best out of 5. Just a thought

P.S we need one more player to make 16, which will create 3 rounds to reach the final.

BOF 5 is not necessary because it could be that by this system
you meet 2x times your opponent in a BOF 3.
also because of records BOF 5 could be a memory space problem.

should the "loser bracket" delay too much the tournament i will deactivate This.

Wait, that doesn't make any sense... surely, regardless of the amount of games you play verse an opponent in which ever round that may be, you'll move on to a different opponent if you advance?

I was merely suggesting that maybe the semi-finals and final alone, be played best of 5 matches. I think it would be better competition for the players in my opinion.

I personally am not a fan of BO5.
who is better in a BOF3 will also win in a BO5 makes no difference.
also where is the problem when a weaker player beats a stronger player with a lucky spot?
that makes up a tournament more exciting and unpredictable
also more hope for weaker player
and it is funny if a big player fall over


If it were up to me just one game
