Lol, didnt believe this could be so confusing.
I find the old way quite boring, I must admit. So my goal was to produce kind of a tournament with raised bars. Si I thought about what could happen, and what might be answers to refuse the whole thing. "I do not understand" was not part of my collection. Why should a team enter the first stage at all, if it is much less complicated to win the competition by entering at a later stage? Because if those first 16 teams do not come together and fight, the thing will not kickoff ... However, I am open for changes, as long as we do not run the quite boring format of several qualification cups and one final cup. |

The tools to field a tournament are quite limited.
But I try a different approach, to make it toucher. STAGE 1 16 small competition, so 8 teams. 128 teams total. ALL teams advance, but are sorted in TOP 4 (playoff teams) of each cup in bracket 1 and BUTTOM 4 (non playoff teams) in bracket 2. STAGE 2 8 mid level competions, so each with 16 teams, bracket 1 (4 cups with each 16 from TOP 4) TOP8 of this round (playoff teams) advance to stage 3, would be 64. bracket 2 (4 cups with each 16 from BUTTOM 4), TOP 4 (semi finale teams) advance to stage 3, would be 32. STAGE 3 4 mid level competions, with 16 teams each from bracket 1, TOP 8 advance to stage 4, would be 32. 2 mid level competions with 16 teams each from bracket 2, TOP 4 semi finales teams) TOP 8 advance to stage 4, would be 16. 8 small level competions with 8 teams each of late attendance and/or 2nd chance, winner and runner up advance to stage 4, would be 16. STAGE 4 2 major level competions with 32 teams each. TOP 8 of each advance to final stage. IMPORTANT; each competions is filled 1/2 bracket 1, 1/4 bracket 2 and 1/4 2nd chance. FINAL STAGE 1 mid level competions with 16, winner gets the trophy. Don't know how to handle the credits here.

That's the point where I see this whole thing fail from the start: I'd think you won't get 128 teams to participate in this, like I mentioned earlier (see the last post on page 1 of this thread). That's why I get the idea by Pete to let the same teams apply to every other round again, if they wish... |

I know that Pete doesn't want to, but i'm sticking with my "old but gold" editions of IECC qualifiers. There are +200 managers right now. If at least 50 will participate that is a good thing considering we have to use credits. |

You can always shrink the field by any multiple of 2, so 64 or even 32.
But honestly, I don't care anyway. It's a nice idea to play for a hardware trophy, but just offer spots and whoever is runner up or winner gets to the final competition. In the past there was even 1 winner not honoring the story part of the competion, so any way we play it, there is no safe spot to have a quality field of X teams playing for the trophy and with quaility I mean not the level of strength, I mean the mind set of the manager. Good luck on the cup.  |

I was going after anightmare to play, not a nightmare to organize. Notice to myself, make your goals more clear to others
