Weekly Tour News - Week 26th - 1st Edition - The fourth event started, the registration topic created
https://www.warlight.net/Forum/162654-awp-world-tour-250-series-treasure-map I am wonder, how many new players will join to the Tour with this event. One thing is sure, they have to be very fast to joining because the veterans always join very quickly :)
- And here are the veterans who joined to all Tour events (3) so far:
- master of desaster
- Don [ Ω ]
- ANT
- Muli
- 13CHRIS37
Special highlighting Don, because he was the first who registered to the first event (he was the first who understand the invitation system at all :) ) AWP World Tour - 500 Series - Battle Islands V https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=19469 Welcome the first 500 Series semifinalist, fireice82! It means the second position to him immediately on the Ranking List, well done, nice debut on the Tour!
AWP World Tour - 250 Series - France LD https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=19569 Despite the LD settings, very good progress here already (5 games finished). And the player list in the quarter final is very impressive!
The present TOP10 on the Tour:
Rank Player Total points Tourney still in/all
1 Buns157 295 1/2
2 fireice82 180 1/1
master of desaster 180 2/3

The event schedules were filled until August 2017, you can find them in the google spreadsheets above, in the Events tab. Although you can find only the exact time (week) of the different (Grand Slam, Masters 1000, 500 and 250 Series) events, but templates are for the next few events only, because I am still waiting for your help to deciding about which templates should be used on the Tour events: https://www.warlight.net/Forum/161829-awp-world-tour-template-polling

Weekly Tour News - Week 26th - 2nd Edition for more details check the Event tab of the google docs link above The templates for the 500 and 250 Series events will be decided monthly, in the previous months by the community. In practice, this means that the first days of every months I will open a topic where the community can propose templates for the two (or three) 250 and the one 500 Series events in the next month. And the end days of the months I will pick up 3 (or 4) from them and register them in the google spreadsheet as the following 500 and 250 Series events.
But the major events (4 Grand Slams, 8 Masters) should be decided now. I have made a 25-piece template list from which I will choose the templates of the 12 major events, please help me find the best ones. See more: https://www.warlight.net/Forum/161829-awp-world-tour-template-polling

Weekly Tour News - Week 27th - 1st Edition It is the beginning of the month, so as I wrote earlier, I opened the first monthly template polling topic: https://www.warlight.net/Forum/164033-awp-world-tour-august-events-template-polling Help me find the proper templates for the 500 and 250 Series events in August.
And still need help for choosing the 12 major events template :P https://www.warlight.net/Forum/161829-awp-world-tour-template-polling

Walter, if you put your tables within the bounds of (code)(/code) - with brackets instead of parentheses - they will look neater. I'm an advocate of alignment!

Weekly Tour News - Week 27th - 2nd Edition - AWP World Tour - 500 Series - Battle Islands V
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=19469 Only 3 games left from the first 500 Series events. The Krzysztof vs. Tac(ky)tical quarterfinal is in progress. MoD is waiting for the winner of that game in the semifinal, and fireice82 is waiting for his opponent in the final. The winner of this event will get the first position in the Ranking List for a while, good fight for it :)
- AWP World Tour - 250 Series - France LD
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=19569 Slow progress here, but no surprise about a LD tourney :) 1 game finished, Muli defeated Super Smoove and reached his first quarterfinal, congrats!
- AWP World Tour - 250 Series - Treasure Map
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=19653 Krzysztof won his quarterfinal game againts ANT too, congrats his another semifinal. DanWL beaten KKND, but in the quarterfinal he lost against MIFRAN, who reached the semifinal in his first event, congrats!
- AWP World Tour - 500 Series - Strategic Greece
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=19737
- As I expected, the tourney filled very fast, in 2 hours.
I am considering that I will increase the 500 Series events field from 32 to 64 players, adding a qualification round to it (for 10 points), same like for the 250 Series events (from 16 to 32). 64 players is very high, but we will see :) (it means 12 events per year btw)
- 9 new players (JV, timon92, Nackickwind, Onoma94, ❤HankyPinky, Ollie, vicnus, Platinum, {rp} GeneralGror) joined to the Tour, welcome! Already 55 players joined.
- There are 3 players who joined to all Tour events (5) so far: MoD, ANT and Don [ Ω ], they never sleep :P
- Already 4 games finished, and PanagiotisTheGreekFreak already reached the quarterfinal! Nice!
It seems home court (Greece map :D ) really is an advantage to him ;-)
- Lack of tourney seeding possibility, there are a few tough games already in the first round.
For example, the game of two newcomers, JV vs. timon92 is a hard one. But the toughest imo, the Mod vs. Buns one! Not only because they are both top3 ranked players in the Tour, but if you check their part in the bracket, you can see that the opponents of the winner of that match can be Beren Apex, Krzysztof and a GG players on the way to the final. Hard way, just like the Spain vs. Italy pairing and bracket in the EURO2016 :D
The present TOP10 on the Tour:
Rank Player Total points Tourney still in/all
1 fireice82 300 1/1
2 Buns157 295 2/3
3 Krzysztof 270 4/4
master of desaster 270 4/5
5 ANT 180 2/5
PanagiotisTheGreekFreak 180 1/3
FlyingBender 180 0/1
8 Don [ Ω ] 150 2/5
9 Botanator 90 1/3
MIFRAN 90 2/2
Tac(ky)tical 90 1/1
Wini 90 1/3
INSIDE 90 0/1
mm3100 90 0/1
Still fireice82 is the first place but a very tough trio are chasing him! They are within 30 points, so the different only one won match. These 4 players have a point advantage to the others but that does not mean anything, because the major events (with huge obtainable points) are coming!
You can find here the full Ranking List: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ao0SlM6Kv6CE1-Ha5mBIrI6nj4Uft2lMaE25qbXxWHs
And the customary closing news, help me find the possible best templates :P https://www.warlight.net/Forum/164033-awp-world-tour-august-events-template-polling https://www.warlight.net/Forum/161829-awp-world-tour-template-polling

https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=19469 No progress. All that remains is the Final (MoD vs. fireice82), but both player are on holiday at present :)
- AWP World Tour - 250 Series - France LD
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=19569 No progress. But the Buns vs. rakleader game can be a tough one, it is in Turn 16 :O
- AWP World Tour - 250 Series - Treasure Map
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=19653 CHRIS defeated Pushover in the quarterfinal but after he lost against MIFRAN (GG>Apex>Master ;-) ), who reached his first final, and he is still unbeaten with a nice 6-0 records on the Tour! Btw only 4 games remained, but all of them waiting for the end of MoD's holiday.
- AWP World Tour - 500 Series - Strategic Greece
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=19737 My prediction was perfect about the path to the final of the winner of the MoD vs. Buns Derby :) Beren will be the first, then Krzysztof in the quarterfinal and a GG player (Ollie or MIFRAN) in the semifinal, and Timon in the final (newer prediction :) ). Well, it is a very exciting but very long and hard (viable? :O) path :D But first question, who will win the Derby? MoD (Federer :)) or Buns (Murray :))? Well, we have to wait the end of MoD's holiday (here too :P) to obtain the answer. MoD, we miss you so much :D
- AWP World Tour - 250 Series - French Brawl
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=19839
- The event filled in 8 hours, which better than the previous one (in 2 hours) but still not enough long. I mean, the ideal would be 24+ hours, so players from every time zone would have similar chance to join. But this 32 players field for 250 Series events is ok now, imo.
- 8 new players (Swisster, Mirage, Semicedevine, MarkusBM, USA Biches, Jackie Treehorn, Hunta, Muten Rōshi) joined (63 players joined so far).
Welcome on the Tour!
- Still 2 players who joined to all Tour events (6): ANT and Don [ Ω ]
- Already 2 games finished.
MIFRAN defeated MarkusBM, Muli defeated Jackie Treehorn. Congrats them!
The present TOP10 on the Tour:
Rank Player Total points Tourney still in/all
1 master of desaster 390 4/5
2 Krzysztof 360 4/5
3 fireice82 300 1/1
4 Buns157 295 3/4
5 MIFRAN 250 3/3
6 ANT 180 2/6
PanagiotisTheGreekFreak 180 2/4
Tac(ky)tical 180 1/2
FlyingBender 180 0/1
10 Don [ Ω ] 150 1/6
Krzysztof is already in the second position, and he has got a very nice 8-1 record on the Tour so far. MIFRAN collected points too, and approaching to the TOP4.

This seems like a cool event.
I would suggest doing a combination of MD and RT tournaments, as RT requires you to think on your feet more.

Thanks for doing this Ekstone. I have a suggestion for how you portray the top 10 which I think would make the information clearer, at least to me.
Instead of having the tourney still in/all column, have the players won/lost ratio like you describe in your review, and then have a third column with number of events a player has won. It is essentially the same information but would make it easier for me to visualise.
Keep up the good work.

I put this here too (maybe this topic is checked more often) Because (except of some PMs) no any reactions received about templates, I will choose the templates alone :P So here my plans for August So these are my plans, but I am open every proposals! What templates I should remove, put, change settings, etc. Post here if possible but PM ok for me too. Btw, I updated the google docs too https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ao0SlM6Kv6CE1-Ha5mBIrI6nj4Uft2lMaE25qbXxWHs/pub?gid=648212339&output=htmlthus you can see them in Muli's tables too (if you use his script)

@Oh I was thinking about it already and two approaches are possible: - There will be team events on the Tour and will be a separated team Ranking List for them, just like in ATP tennis: http://www.atpworldtour.com/Rankings/Doubles.aspx
- There will be team templates, but will be special 1vs1 events on them, with alts. In this case, we use the present Rankings of course. I plan to test this with the last event in August (see in my previous post)
