I've got my team registered. I feel like if people knew who was registered they could realize that they should too. If their clan mates have a team and then they want to compete or if a GG guy thinks that a WG team shouldn't win he could make a team...... If we knew the teams we could get some rivalry and hype for this. We need suspense or something to get people motivated to enter/compete.

Edit: I've done the best job I can with the better players from the North American and surroundings area.

No GG? They have lots of 3v3 europe players

So post your team then turtle. I'm playing with Bjarke, Krzychu and dead piggy.

Our team is ChrisCMU, Falker, Summer, CHRIS, Tenshi, Andersault

Like I said we need a bigger team because of the RT/vacation rules. And Tenshi/Andersault only said they could play as alternates anyway.

I can`t speak for others, but the reason I won`t join is simple:

Game 1 will be played on Tuesday @ 17:00 GMT-8 for North America region and 17:00 GMT for Europe region. Game 2 will be played on Thursday at the same times. Broadcasts will be on Wednesday and Friday @ 12:00 GMT - 6.

Those times are impossible for me. I can imagine they are for other players as well.
(Althought I might be wrongly assuming that I would get past stage 1 :p)

EDIT:

I put it on weekends, and people will complain they have activities scheduled for the weekends. The times I placed it at I specifically asked people constantly for about a week, they told me they'd be willing to play after getting off work. Shall I re-ask everyone?

For most of the people I know 17.00 isn`t when they are at home ready to play. Most people (at least in my group of friends) come home between 17.30 en 18.30 and want to have dinner first. I`m still in school and the times I`m home combined with homework I rarely am done before 19.00
I do understand the problem of playing in the weekends. Often people have activities scheduled or are not willing to spend multiple weekends in a row playing a game

So I would do it later on weekdays. Starting around 18.30-19.00 seems better to me.

Yeah, the time is a huge issue for me (USA Mountain Time). I can't normally play at 6pm, I have kids that go to bed at 8pm. I sure hope 3 people from my team can play then. What I might do is just go in late to work and play while at work, I don't know.

I also don't understand why you are doing the SAME time on T/Th. Why not play at a different time in hopes other people on your team can play (if they have that conflict 1 day, they are likely to have it on another day too)?

What if all games were simply MD, but shorter boot times? Like maybe 1.5 days? I totally understand how the total length of the even is the issue, we are just trying to see if there is a way to make it easier on people to participate.

I am having trouble visualizing the format of stages. I understand this part...

1st Stage: Regional Double Elimination Tournaments (Boot time will be 1 day 4 hours with vacations not honored)

2nd Stage: 2-game Round Robin Tournaments per week. (5 minute + 10 minute banked boot times)
Game 1 will be played on Tuesday @ 17:00 GMT-8 for North America region and 17:00 GMT for Europe region. Game 2 will be played on Thursday at the same times. Broadcasts will be on Wednesday and Friday @ 12:00 GMT - 6.

But not this part (item 8)...

8. The bottom 2 performing teams will be forced to repeat the 1st stage, while ranks 3-6 or 3-8 (depends on how many apply/are in the 2nd stage) will be re-invited to the 2nd stage for the next world championship.

Lolo-

What does that mean repeat 1st stage? Does that simply mean for next season, the bottom teams must start at stage 1 again, but the others will bypass that round? What if the teams change (I assume the team may change composition in some format by that time).

Lets just assume we have 6 teams in each region, what does that look like for stage 1 and 2 formats?

@Chris: It means exactly what it says. The teams who are in the top 6 out of 8 will be invited to play the series again next year and skip the 1st round. There's really not many rules in place for this because in the competitive scene you'd be a team that's sponsored etc, but in this case I would consider the captain to be the most important part. The captain either needs to stay or sign off on a new captain taking over the team.

With 6 teams each region we'd skip the stage 1.

On my team there is:
無為, Master of the Dead, and Myself..... We will find our alternates later.

What players are signed up? When is the new deadline? Why must an awesome thread like this get buried? Why does Fizzer and Mercer not care about how organized and important the forums are?

5 teams for europe and 4 teams for NA atm. :/

I've got a team for NA. Will be sending it in today

So... how many teams and who is on each team?

or did this end up cancelled?

for myself i find it hard to bring together a team i can trust, not having regular teammates nor a clan. :S

If we see it livestreamed, which website will it be on and when, and will the games compressed into '10 Second Warlight Games' to view quickly later?

Games wil be streamed live via Twitch and can be watched later on YouTube. Links for those will be given later.
