Doesn't the "revised" bo7 series get away from exactly what you wanted to get at; the player depth in a given area? Everyone can field 3-4 GM players and have them duke it out, but what about past that? This was the whole point of the BC/AB argument that sparked this idea: The 3 AB top dogs can complete with the top BC players, but past that is where BC would shine.
That is a good point. However, we have to respect the skill gap and the depth difference of provinces/states. If BC and AB wanted, we could have a BO31 showmatch and have an epic line-up of players, however, same can't be said for many smaller states. Some regions can only field 4-5 high level players and have to round off the roster with a 'mediocre' player.
I believe that the BO7 covers an area that lies in the middle; Some areas will have trouble finding 6 competitive players in any given series, and at the same time, areas with a deep roster can still shine by having the luxury of selecting the best possible 6 or 7 against a specific team.
Also, we can extend the format to a BO9 in the playoffs, which is probably a lot closer to what we were initially looking at.

How do we get in contact with the team from our state if someone has already set up a team? Maybe contact info for those heading up each team should be included in the OP?
edit: I'm in Ohio btw. Is goswser who set it up? If so, I can contact him.

I will probably wait 1-2 more days to release the information of the managers, but I can PM you the information for Ohio

Disaster incoming.

I see no announcement for an Edmonton tourney on the 4th? Why are you being so negative Mitch, you're the one that got this started...

Are we allowed to have as many people as we want (so long as they are in said State), and rotate them every match?

Yup, there is no limit in the number of players per roster. It will be up to the managers to rotate them around and field the best possible lineup

I know that qapuk expressed some interested in heading Ohio's Team, but I am not 100% sure if he was selected. I know you can find a lot of great Ohio players in the Channel: Cincinnati
Hope this helps!

Is there any restriction on the number of players from a single team that can be on the roster/lineup? I don't think Arizona has put a team together yet, but if team EG felt compelled they could all just decide to BE team Arizona if they wanted since they all live there now. I guess along those lines, what constitutes a "resident?" Are you thinking resident in legal terms, like they've lived there 6+ months, or just that they are currently living in that state? What about players that are temporarily gone, like those doing a stint in Korea?
By the way, I'm helping put together team Texas, but if you want any help organizing the tournament, I'd be glad to chip in.

Sure thing.
I just need to confirm some details with Saskatchewan and the details of managers of 20 Provinces/States will be released. Keep the suggestions/feedback coming!

Is California on the list anywhere?

The team house rule needs to be amended or something. Only fielding 3 players isn't a handicap in the slightest in a bo7. The states with RGN and EG in them will dominate if these teams elect to participate, unless some change is made that disallows pro houses from competing.

Possible amendments:
- You MUST have lived in your current state for 12 months otherwise you play for the state you come from.
OR
- 1 player from a Pro house is permitted to compete. The rest may compete for their home states.
