Swiss pairings are used in M:tG tournaments (actually it's "modified" swiss, but I don't know the difference). Here's how it works:

8 teams = 3 rounds
9 - 16 teams = 4 rounds
17 - 32 teams = 5 rounds
...etc

All teams play every round (unless they want to drop out early).

Round 1 pairs everyone randomly with another team. Teams that win their match get 1 point, losers get 0 points.
Round 2 and on pairs each team with another random team that has the same number of points. Basically after round 1, you'll always be playing a team that's doing just as well (or as bad) as you.

After however many rounds, Top 8 teams play an elimination bracket.

This type of tournament is generally best suited for large tournaments though, since it lets you play out a 1024 player tournament in just 10 rounds, and lets you continue to double player numbers with just one additional round per doubling. This is probably why M:tG tournaments use it (in addition to the fact that it lets everyone play every round). A pool-based system with the "top teams" seeded to be in separate pools would probably be better for something smaller like this.

Metro and Wishy22 have very good ideas/points there. Hopefully they don't get ignored, or at least hopefully they have good reasons not to host it this way, and actually tell us what those reasons are :D

Actually I have talked a bit with fartowik (a few PMs) and he isn't the kind of guy who's going around ignoring everyone and doing how he pleases, so I'm sure he's gonna read what we posted.

And yeah I am a pain in the ass. But I seriously suggest you get active somewhat skilled players at the very least to suggest you what maps to pick for the tournament, or at least pick them yourself + ask if they're ok with some players. Please don't get 5/6 BATs that don't even play this game to choose bad maps like they did last time. Honestly you can be osu!'s staff and a great BAT but if you don't really play the game you have no idea what maps are really fun to play/liked.

...but well, just asking some players around is somewhat dangerous since the map list can be easly leaked before releasing. So we might be able to set some kind of advisor board before starting this tournament...?

Since some of the better dutch players won't participate we give a chance to the others of Holland who aren't as good as them!

I think there are several good experienced players that are grown-up enough to not go around leaking the map list. If you still think you can't trust some of those you can just give them a... 40 maps list and tell them to give you their opinions, and from that you can somewhat decide on the 15 maps without telling anyone. Though I still think there is plenty of people who can actually be trusted, like if you're 22 years old I want to believe you're not that retarded.

Maybe I have to like... learn to read. But when 2 teams play the maps would be chosen like this I guess, right?

Team A.
Team B.

A very interesting idea indeed. Never heard of it though, maybe I should have been more discerning about the tournament schemes. I'm still opened for all kinds of suggestions and if I see the proposed system is better than I thought up with, I will think about implementing it. Gonna talk it through with Lunah soon.

I have PM'd him already, sadly got no response yet. We're still looking for someone to stream matches of the tournament.

The staff is going to be composed of people with experiences in both mapping and playing. The reason the staff member list isn't posted yet is that we're still looking for certain trusted people to help. A responsible choosing like this takes some time.

There are lots of schemes you can apply to tournament. In this case you gonna have just a few teams so the best possible idea is to apply something like what's applied to soccer world cups. 8 groups made out of 4 teams, where only two will pass to the next phase, and by having groups like this of course you take the advantage of putting apart each pro team so not only you avoid getting China Vs. Japan in the first rounds, but get even the average teams to have fun playing against people like them and why not, a chance to get somewhere in the tournament too. :d

Plus teams that lose once aren't eliminated from the entire tourney (unless I am mistaken, then derp).

Supporting Swiss pairing here. If you'd like to hold it 8 or 9 rounds you could easily get a rank of all joined team. The final score could be calculated as: C=10A+B
A=the score they get (win=1, lose=0)
B=the total score of their opponents
why we need a B here is if two team has the same score, we could still judge them by the opponents they have. Also, if some team drops out halfway, their opponents could get a free point, but no "opponent point" for them.

However, a Swiss pairing OWC won't be that exciting: (people won't concentrate that much on semi-final/final... in fact in this way we don't have one), so just as Lyby said, separate the match into 2 stages.

Stage 1: a Swiss paring qualifying, you also don't need to set a team number limit like 32... 5~7 rounds here (consider there won't be 64 contries but probably would have 32). Then make the top 8 countries to the next stage.

Stage 2: Elimination. something like NBA playoffs (1-8, 2-7, 3-6, 4-5) or just random pairing, whatever.

The "not so good" teams could usually enjoy playing a game with another team with similar level players at stage 1. Also it gives the pro teams much more chance so they can probably go to stage 2, that's better than "seed team".

Then let's enjoy the top 8 elimination, would be exciting and fun.

About map choosing for the two stages:

Stage 1: I think in this part, we should try to "make all players have fun", so in 5~7 rounds, i'll suggest something like "themed chart". Round 1 Touhou, Round 2 IIDX, Round3 Vocaloid etc. Pick 15 maps for each round would be enough, but pick 90 maps for the whole stage 1 would be orz.

Stage 2: Try to get some pro players' opinion and pick competitive maps (easy to miss/hard to get high acc/etc), that doesn't mean to pick maps like OWC #1 though, i think we all know where is the line.

Just make the 8 groups system, otherwise then again you get all pro teams win the first round against bad teams and face each other in the second round already, I understand they're not out of the game if they lose there but it still would be pretty lame imo to get the most interesting matches so early.

Why not let them participate as USSR? If they cannot get enough players to participate as a country, it would be nice to let them.

You're absolutely right. Latvia and Estonia simply don't have enough strong players to participate.

You're absolutely right. Latvia and Estonia simply don't have enough strong players to participate.
So any country that doesn't have strong players to participate may ally with another country just for the sake of playing?

No. This is not how a world cup is supposed to be.

There are exceptions. There are SOME players that nationalize for other countries. But there's never two countries joining up because they aren't strong enough to participate. That defeats the purpose of a world cup.

Exactly, if their coutries don't have enough active players to participate, why not let them create a team that incorporates all of those countries?

I didn't mean to make the early sentence a joke by the way.

I already said it won't happen so why you continue this topic?
Stop trolling and treat my work with at least a bit of respect.

We should just wait for every country with enough players to sign up here and then start talking about this...

aren't strong enough ?

Do you think it's possible to found 4 active players in lv, who want to play in tournament, even if they aren't strong?

After 2 days of sign-ups we've fulfilled a half of the slots amount, 16. 9 teams are from Europe, 3 from America, 3 from Asia and 1 from Oceania. I'm glad the tournament got such a good frequency so far!

I think I might be able to help you find the hidden gold!

I didn't say he/she can't participate for Russia. I said you can't have teams with mixed country players. If you wanted _Angel being able to participate for Russia you should've asked me via PM or in-game, I'd think it up like I did for Blacky from Switzerland. Ofc, you preferred troll instead.

In a participating country there can't be more than 1 player from another country. It's all case-related, not everyone can just sign-up with an additional 1 person with other nationality than the teams'.

Of course, I'd prefer if you sign-up with Russian players only. Your player base is pretty huge and it's not that needed to look for players abroad.

So this is why players from smaller countries aren't allowed to participate in this world cup?

I'm sorry but this is pure bullshit.

Who said they're not allowed? If they would really like to they'd just set up a team of their own. This is a World Cup, country vs country, nationality matters the most. Also I didn't decide that _Angel can't play for Russia. I just said it's preferred for the team to be all same nationality, they will decide what they want to do.

What's hard to understand, a player can be added to another country team (this for help nice players from small countries to play), example belgium -> france (same language and there are not enough players from belgium), naturally respecting a criteria , this doesn't mean that people can "combine" contries for make a new team, example I am gonna say "I'll make a team of switzerland and italy and I'll call it switaly", nope.

Norway, Sweden and Denmark are kinda alike. I mean, we even share our channel together. Even so, we're participating as 3 different teams altogether. That makes it amusing Germany has to get players from somewhere else, France can take players Belgium etc.
It's not like this rule applies anywhere else, and small countries kinda has to deal with it anyhow...

My point is, I think the rule where smaller countries can join together, or players can suddenly participate for a neighbouring country is too kind.

After a talk with Vpalach I decided not to put Russia on the list yet. You didn't contact most of better players from your country and just submitted a team, that's not really fair isn't it? I'm gonna wait for a team composed with the best players as possible.

If you're from a country that has good players you can't go and sign-up with a team full of random players that can't even compare to the good ones. This is a WORLD CUP and the best players from each country are supposed to be able to play, you can't just go and leave them out because some random guys want to play too. It's like some 4 random guys from Korea come and make a team and leave idk Reisen and KRZY out...
