Hey Nytek! Many thanks for taking the time to host a tournament, I am not really part of the cavalry community but I do look forward to see how it plays out.
Spoiler
Update: Since we now have 8 regiments we will change the number of participants to 12. We have four slots left available. This means that we will have to do two groups with 6 participants in each. Six teams will be seeded as tier 1 and the other six as tier 2. We will then divide the participants so that there is three of each. The teams in the group will have to go head to head against each other. You're guaranteed at least 5 games, after that the best two teams in the group will go through to the semi-finals. This will, however, take a couple of weeks as most regiments would be unwilling to do more than one 1vs1 per week. We might have to include one week's break as well. I hope that everyone is willing to agree to this. My plan at first was to make a swift tournament but having gauged the comments in here it looks like most of you would have as many teams participating as possible. If you do not agree with this then let me know!
So you put three good regs and three medium regs in one group?
Yes. I know that this might not be what everyone wants but I think it will lead to the best competition. If a medium regiment is to win the thing then they need to beat the best anyway. That is my thinking behind it.
Idm cuz if you put all medium reg into one group and alle good ones into a group then the final will be not that exciting
I was just wondering if this was still a thing? Aka, do you still plan to spread teams in each part of the bracket depending on their skill/reputation, making two 'even' groups in the brackets. Looking at the brackets you put as an exemple, teams seem to be spread completly randomly but then again, you said it was an exemple so I am wondering if you changed your mind or if you still think its a good idea? (Because lets be frank, if you still think it is, I do believe it might be worth adressing to you why it really isn't).
Also, looking at your idea which is to host a 'fast-paced' tournament due to popular demand, did you consider the idea of adding a loser brackets? I am not completly sure yet how you can work it out without lenghtening the tournament too much and still giving enough time to the teams in the loser brackets to play their matches ; but with only twelve teams partaking into this tournament, it would give the opportunity to every teams to play a minimum of two matches and with it, adding the possibility of not being completly out due to a bad start, and with not so many 'extra' matches added.
Just an idea, obviously some people might be hostile to it for obvious reasons but I just came across your thread and assumed it was worth adding it as a suggestion.
Last but not least, I had the chance to catch one of the match of the last CNWL, live-streaming it on IVe Corps' youtube channel with Syrcrim and Nerza and it was a really enjoyable experience. September is still far way but if you'd like to have a similar coverage being done on your tournament when it goes live (in french), feel free to contact us. Once more, best of luck for your project!
