4 x 4 tour

[makmak]

Question:
Is there interest for a 4x4 tour ?

We need 8 participants

[KGB]

I'm sure you know the answer is yes.

The question is whether there are 8 different teams that can field 4 players.

Sure participants:
No pain
LoK
Warbarons
Goo
That's 4

If Knights and Hadesha commit
We are on 6 teams
If Fejak is ok we are 7

That is we need one new recruit in GG (Igor's team) or a merge in other teams to go to 8

[makmak]

Proposed style and maps:
Single elimination - 2 days - 8 teams

Round 1 :
Illuria balanced north vs south (all time classic)

Semi final:
World of migrad east Vs west

Final:
Alamaze

HadeshaNatives would like to participate as well.

Why single elimination?

I would prefer groups of 4 or 3, so that there are a few more games to play. Otherwise, half of all teams just play a single game - where is the fun in that?

No objection from me on groups.
If it is groups we have to wait for 2x2 tour with groups to end because too many games are not handlable.

Whatever the community say

Why single elimination?

...because too many games are not handlable

Instead of groups, could we have "Triple Elimination"? I guess this would work similarly to groups, but having those game in sequence?

Triple elimination (if exists) would take ages and would be against the same opponent.
We should go either groups or single elimination whatever the community decides

I think double elimination with a winners bracket and a losers bracket is the best way to run it but Im unsure if warbarons can manage that. Im under the impression that the system can just run single elimination or group. But I might be wrong.
