Imperial Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I would like to thank you for reviewing the sign ups and implementing this change, myself and others appreciate that we don't have to rely on mere seconds to register. My only question is what happens if there's an uneven number of teams who registered (e.g. 31) - will the other TT finalists (Core in this case) then also be automatically guaranteed a spot on Saturday?

I would like idealy to keep qualification round last 1 round. This means that considering we have 1 guaranted spot this month, we can have 30 registered teams top - to fight for remaining 15. What if we will have 29? We can give a free bye to the highest spot on the ladder, which yeah would mean that 2nd spot on leaderboard will get it, if they will register. Then 3rd, 4th,etc. Sounds fair imo- not guaranted spot, unless certain amount of teams will register. Imperial and TohnR 2 Link to comment

ThinkNicer Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Having a registration round on a godforsaken Thursday is a fucking tragedy. I guess we aren't allowed to have a normal workweek anymore to be able to play the only official tournament that matters. Link to comment

Could just make TT 32 teams tournament, and last time showed its currently not a good idea. Using Sunday is not good either, as it can end late into night on Monday- and we have jobs, school etc. I understand why it might be inconvenient to play on Thursday, but keep in mind that not a whole team needs to be there on that day. This also rewards teams that do well in general standings, as it guarantees a spot in case of fewer registrations. TohnR 1 Link to comment

Usual Team Tournament starting time is 9pm in Warsaw- capitol of Poland, and 4am in Beijing- capitol of China. This is not a valid solution. Kupokun 1 Link to comment

Akaruyo Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Can I get a clarification on what "Registration" and "Time of Registration Round" is? The "qualifier" round is almost immediately after the registration then? If so I'd suggest changing the name of "Time of Registration Round" to something like "Qualifier Round" since I got word of a lot of people that got confused with that. Link to comment
