If these are final, i have a feeling some of the matches would be landslide victorys. Good thing there not

[SPECTRE]

You forgot one thing to take into account:

Wormholes.

In my opinion it would be a default victory if some asshat found a wormhole to the homeworlds, it wouldn't be a matter of whether, but when.

You have problems with both options, random and pre set maps. I'd think a preset map would be better because it would still be fair for all players in the same bracket, everyone fights on the same map so no unequal advantage between the brackets.

However then you get the problem of a certain player having more experience with a map and so it is harder for the unprepared. I think if fair notice is given on a which preset map will be used it would negate this problem, if they didn't "train", or at least check out that map, then they shouldn't win anyway.

How about if a special map is made but not released until the matches? At least for the first round, that would work.

[Centurian128]

You could design a map that would be specific to the tournament and release it to the competitors the day before so everyone would be on an even playing field and no one would have an experience advantage over anyone else.  Although this seems redundant now since Moustachio beat me too it.

[Cole Protocol]

Custommaps sound like the best option here, but that provides some other challenges,such as the map makers, if they indeed participated they would know the ins and outs of the map.

Is it too late? I'd like to join too. New York - EST

[chiefship]

Is the map "vaskuras Labyrinth" the map "labyrinth" you mean for the Tournament?

[Faced]

Ok, since everyone is agreeing on this, the maps with be set now not random (majority vote). They will be Large Maps. and Any of them.

[Faced]

And here's the new Bracket for the EST part of the globe

 

NOTE: I have removed myself from it because im the only Aussie so yer, and it makes the brackets easier.

 

These may be final unless some new people join, so yer, talk with your teams mates. and sort out strategies if you want

[sloosecannon]

Oh great. Fighting Rovert...

[Commander Jbug]

So when are the games actually going to happen?

[Faced]

I'll make up a schedule now.

[Faced]

Are these good for everyone? Until someone else joins, this is probably final

[The White Wolf]

[Cole Protocol]

[Commander Jbug]

I'll be good for this set of matches, but I'm going back to school after New Year's so I don't know I'd I would be able to play any later games if I made it into them
