Hi all,
As we received a lower number of registration than expected (only 30), we had to make some adjustements in the rules. To explain:
As it's impossible to form 8 groups with 4 teams each, Group A and Group B (the groups that have the 2 best qualified teams) will have only 3 members. So, as a consequence, every team in that group will have 1 "bye" week. This is how the Groups drawing was made (extracted from the rules topic):
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8
16-15-14-13-12-11-10- 9
17-18-19-20-21-22-23-24
32-31-30-29-28-27-26-25
(note teams 31 and 32 scratched, simply because they don't exist)
Also, we had to make another change in the Fun Table, because there also weren't be enough teams to fill the Fun Table. So now, the system for Groups Stage will be the following:
1st + 2nd places of each group will form the
1/8 Elite Table Playoffs3rd place of each group will form
1/4 Fun Table Playoffs (1/8 completely skipped for Fun Table - the maps used this week will be the same as Elite Table, what will make, in the end, the Semifinals Map Pack of the Elite Table the Final Pack for Fun Table)
4th place of each group is
ELIMINATED FROM TRC***** ALL TEAM CAPTAINS WILL BE INFORMED OF THESE CHANGES IN THE RULES BY PM! *****
