  1st round changes... or not?  040529  
 

Signups are going well so far, with 34 clans signing up for the Classic Cup, 22 of which have also signed up for the Custom Cup. Keep it up folks.


On another note, some changes to the structure may be necessary, albeit small ones. One of the original aims of the tourney was to be an unseeded knockout competition, but that was before I thought of the Pro/Amateur scheme. It seems like a sound idea to seed teams in the 1st round in order to make an effort to keep top clans going into the Amateur tournament.

So I'd like your thoughts on that, and on the best way to seed. Should we seed half the teams and simply make sure they don't play each other? Should we just seed 12 or so and make sure that they don't play each other? Should we rank all the teams by number and match them up like #1 vs #32 (e.g. for 32 teams) #2 vs 31 etc? Leave your thoughts here.

seeding the top 12 (or half) seems most sensible to me, make sure they wont play eachother. if u gonna seed every clan, the first few games will be too boring (#1 vs #32 = rpe deluxe).

Yeah seed top10 or something like that and make sure they don't face each other in the first round.

Totally agree, enough if the best 8 teams avoid each other. If the 9th meets with the 10th accidentally, that wont be a disaster, at least we can see good match even in 1st round:)

ye. or seed every participating div1(ish) clan so that they don't face eachother in the first round. that will do.
