I had a good feeling about this tournament anyways. We are really going to shoot for 100% of the games casted because doing stuff that's batshit insane is more or less the motto of iCCup TV ! Raelcun really set the standard with his 34 hour record breaking cast! He so deserves a star for that lol. | ||

To me it seems like either 8 or 16 seeded players would be a much more logical decisions. Also, I am interested as to why the 128 person portion is being treated as a part of the main tournament, rather than a satellite to win spots vs the seeded players. Anyway, I think it is cool that you got such a big prize pool, just interested about these things. | ||

Ahh, yeah I can see how that would be a problem. Well, not to give you advice on how to run your own tournament, but just a suggestion for you to with as you will. If you change the number of seeded players to 8 or 16, and treat the 128 man portion as a satellite tournament (I.E. top 8 or 16 get a spot in the main 16 or 32 man tournament). Then you could seed the qualifiers against the seeded players, and the setup would allow for more qualifiers to get an actual shot at the prize pool, and it would allow for more diversity in your final 16 or 32 players. I don't mean to impose, I just thought that this approach might allow for a more competitive environment. Feel free to completely disregard me if you disagree :D | ||

As more and more players signed up the qualifiers went from 32, to 64, to 128 players. And the reason people are now treating these qualifiers as a part of the main event is because there are so many good players in it that it's arguably as competitive as the final RO16. So, there's your logic  | ||

The reasons are quite obvious actually, we wanted to have some great known players in our tournament, but we didn't want to exclude potentially great players that never get invited because they're unknown. So we decided to invite 12 players we wanted to have and we opened a qualifier for the remaining 4 spots. As more and more players signed up the qualifiers went from 32, to 64, to 128 players. And the reason people are now treating these qualifiers as a part of the main event is because there are so many good players in it that it's arguably as competitive as the final RO16. So, there's your logic I see, my thought was that I should mention something to make sure that this tournament was being run as it is because it was planned out that way, because it is an illogical way of running a tournament. Either way if there is a prize pool, players will play, and if the tournament organizers want to organize it they will, and if not, apparently they won't. I will leave this thread alone now. | ||
