Hey guys, as you can see in this previous links, i made two experiences with tournaments with Playoffs system:
http://warlight.net/Forum/Thread.aspx?ThreadID=3034 1st Playoff
http://WarLight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?TournamentID=1895 2nd Playoff tournament

They both were very slow paced, so i decided to end that format and therefore the series Playoffs Tournament, it will be a smaller MAIN TOURNAMENT of 8 players only. This Players will be choosed by voting of the public to hit the highest possible level of play. The players unknownsoldier and Heyheuhei are already inside the Premium Division, as they are clearly the players that are showing the best results for a long period now. If Evreux, Zaeban or The Impaller are currently playing and willing they also are invited directly to the tournament, reducing the numbers of players to be voted in.
Plz realize that I am not in necessarely, i have to be voted.

This tournament will be called People's Choice Play-offs and will have a Premier Division, a Masters Division (both will happen through voting) and a Division 2 to access.



Premier Division (PD)

8 Players single-elimination, best of 5 games to a match

unknownsoldier
Heyheuhei
6 other through voting in the forum and chat tournaments

It won't be a tournament created through the game, players will play in a seed system.
#1. unknownsoldier
#2. Heyheuhei
#3. 1st highest voted
#4. 2nd highest voted
#5. 3rd highest voted
#6. 4th highest voted
#7. 5th highest voted
#8. 6th highest voted

Game 1: #1 x #8
Game 2: #4 x #5
Game 3: #3 x #6
Game 4: #2 x #7


about next seasons:
the looser of the 4 matches:
they can decide to play each other one game, or to be voted in-out
The winners of the Games 1 to 4 will guarantee their spot in a next tournament of the Premier Division.


Masters Division (MD)
16 Players single elimination, best of 3 games
the 2 finalists will play the Premium division next season

It will be the 7th to 22nd highest voted players
the players will be in a seed system, inverted playing.

Division 2 are open to the pulic

Division 2 A,B,C, round robins
Division 2 D slower single elimination tournament.
The winners will be guaranteed in Division 1
(other divisions won't wait for this one).


Other rules will be discussed later, to not make this thread too big right now

Sorry about that letter didnt knew using that character would happen that way

About the votating

1 vote that will worth 3 points for the person you think are the best
4 votes will worth 2 points

[WM] Szeweningen
Widzisz

1 point:
dunga
Luxis
Huruey
Salahdin
Chris
rubik
grona
The Window Cleaner

yes am eligible to vote but who to vote for don't know

one thing i didnt mentioned,
you dont need to make all 12 votes
vote for the best players you know and have played with

too hard to vote. too many guys that are equally deserving. so i will vote in a simple way based on reaching #1 on the ladder and winners of a major tournament on medium earth: those who have done both get 2, just one or the other is worth a 1.

2: retro, lobstrosity, rubik, bytjie
1: mian, ace windu, windowcleaner, chaos, azazel, chris, fatih, zibik, troll, fizzer

half of the guys given a 1 probably wouldn't want to play.

thats the reason i am doing the voting, it would be too hard.
So, in the end will be who is mentioned the most, because in any system we can think of people will be left behind.

3 points; Too hard to choose. ;)
2 Points: [WM] Szeweningen, Troll Fizzer Mian,
1 point; ace windu windowcleaner chaos texasjohn Salahdin zibik21 Luxis

(HHH, Unknown, other potentially clinched not mentioned,)
3: Yeon (yeah, you heard me)
2: Retro, Rubik, Zibik, your Mian ♥
1: Fizzer, Saladin, Batman, Chris, Aziridine, Dunga, Fatih, chas (because I badly enjoy his style !)

[20]BishesUpInErr
[WM] szeweningen

Rubik87
The Lollipop Guild
fatih sultan mehmed
Mian
Widzisz • apex
dunga • apex
bytjie
ace windu




Im not sure about the activity of these players. If they are around, they should get a vote.

[WM] Mek Blaze
[20]Wini
TeddyFSB
[20] AquaHolic
retrospekcja_jeza
lobstrosity
Saladin

What's with the apex tag?

My votes would be as follows:

3 - Widzisz
2 - Fizzer, [BostonPhoenix](http://warlight.net/Profile.aspx?p=9510000349), Duke of Ben, AceWindu

12 votes is definitely too little, even when unknownsoldier, Heyheuhei, Evreux, zaeban and The Impaller are not eligible to be chosen, even when I remove inactive players ([20]Wini, TeddyFSB, [WM]Mek Blaze, Monsenor Chacina, ...) I still end up having 20+ players on my list :/ And I'm pretty sure I still forgot about some players.

Will post it when I succeed to reduce it a bit.

And thanks for votes on me, but I think I already got way too many, there are many, many better players around here.

EDIT: Richard, seriously?

Seriously what?

Hey, since i am a socialist i will hear people claims.
You can now vote for 8 more players so they can feel to include everyone. Totalizing 20 votes. (i will accept up to 24 votes/player)

8 more votes from me:
retrospecka_jeza
lobstrosity
bishesupinerr
Fizzer
BostonPhoenix
SheriffBouncyHouse
Bytjie
Ace Windu

from my experience and watching games:

2 points: zibik - Chris - Bytjie - Ace
