Virtually nobody wants slow paced, that is the problem. This SLOW PACED Tournament, with a HUGE PAYLOAD would have taken literally 12 months to fill up if it was not supported by Super League Players. Other SLOW PACED Tournaments, 16 or 32 Players on a good day. I rest my case.

Chances of CC learning from the Super League, a snowball has a better chance in Hell. :D

Both appeal to different groups and can keep the entire player base happy vs catering to the one type of player

You can put the Clan Scene's decline down to this Guy alone. If he goes, the decline of CC would reverse over night.

Now, run along Wee Sax. :D

Ok guys, stop the banter. I, too would prefer faster paced, but right now the auto tournament feature does not allow that. As for game count, this is the championships. It should have a higher game count. Its obviously not for everyone, but I think its needed for a feature event.

Question about elimination i saw a guy with 11/21 eliminated but a 10/21 going through what gives ? Did the 11 ask to leave ? Or is elimination based on your subgroup position ? I hope not.

The player with 11 wins had not logged on to cc for more than 30 days. Therefore the automated system kicked him out of the tourney.

I think the last game just finished. The groups for round 7 are there, don't know why the games are not created yet....

You will need a score of about 36 to make it into the last 32 and 38+ to be on course for the last 16.

4th to 16th there's barely anything in it
Only the top 3 in a safeish spot imo

I would say the points needed will probably be 51 or 52 to get to top 16, I would be actually be really surprised if someone does not advance with 53 points.
Highscore : 4349 Date : 17.6.12
Rank : 6 Date : 13.6.12

Highscore after comeback : 3985 Date : 18.7.25
Rank : 9 Date : 18.7.25

Your absolutely right i was being super conservative. My calc was based on adding 15 (50% of 30) to 38 which was a mid-table qualification then adding 1 to be sure. I think you would be very lucky to get in with 52.

Hey Lindax, any chance the official championships schedule could be revamped to highlight stuff that's coming and stuff that's currently TBD from a scheduling perspective?

Would be nice to just have TBD and updated estimated dates for the timelines if possible.

I'll have a look at it and a chat with those involved the coming week.

Had a chat with Shoop, we will aim for the Poly Championship for September.

Does anybody have any suggestions with regards to the ongoing 1v1 Championship and it's format? Anything we can do better?

Thanks,
