Long post inc, bear with me. ╭( ・ㅂ・)و
Feel free to add more info or even ask more questions, I think it will be easier to form them after considering the above.
Also, have fun in the tournament!

I think all this needs better explaining. Some things are pretty clear, but some aren't, and some are completely redundant.
Just bear with me, not bashing or criticizing, just trying to provide some valid arguments and hopefully bring some changes, making the front wiki page more clear/easier to understand.
For example:

For example:
Sign-ups are individual now. Tournament management will compile teams manually. This is to figure out if TWC will either be held in a 3v3 or 4v4 format. For more information, please read the Tournament Registration Regulations.
This is redundant, it would be easier to say that the registration process has been changed, and maybe a comment about it (not really necessary, because you already have a link with full information in the post.). No real info about this is given so the person has to click the followup link anyway.
Example:A new/different registration process (per person instead of per team). More info here: <link>
Sign-ups run via forum PM only, now.
This entire note can get removed. You are already receiving this info from the link located in the previous note.We have changed over to a double elimination bracket after group stage. Therefore, the tournament runs for a full week longer. Check the Stage Instructions for more details.
Wording can be better. "We have changed over to a" isn't necessary, it's under "What has been changed?" section, so that's a given. The length of the tournament is difficult for an average person to understand, and having X + 7 days is still difficult. Should probably get changed.
Example:A new tournament format (double elimination system added). More info here: <link>
Since no real info is being given here, just a note, a simple note might do better since the person who is interested in this will have to click the link anyway.
The length of the tournament should be specified in the section that link goes to, and there you could say it's lasting a full week longer, compared to the previous tournament.We have adjusted the mappool size to be smaller and more consistent across all stages.
"We have adjusted the" is unnecessary. Just simple wording is best here:Map pool size is now smaller and more consistent across all stages.
Although I have to comment on "consistent" here, what does that mean exactly? It's a bit unclear. Unless you need a large space to provide info here (such as making a link which leads to it), you could just shortly comment on what does that mean exactly.We have implemented a new ‘veto’ rule, replacing the previous beatmap picking restrictions.
Wording again. Also what does "previous beatmap picking restrictions" mean?A new 'veto' system, where a team is able to ban a map from being played from the map pool.
^ Assuming that's what you mean by veto, cause I can't think of anything else. You should still comment on what are previous beatmap picking restrictions if you want to talk about it.The limitations of mod-specific brackets have been removed. You can pick freely from any bracket now.
I'd go away from "You can pick freely from any bracket now" and replace it with a more clear comment. While you are able to pick from any bracket (even tiebreak?), does that mean you can also use any mod combinations? That needs some clarity in my opinion.
Making a person read wiki for the previous twc is bad, you want to give clear info, not a bloated library.

A lot of redundancy here, and very little valid information. You can even see it in the discussion thread. You should probably write a small intro here, for example:
A lot of redundancy here, and very little valid information. You can even see it in the discussion thread. You should probably write a small intro here, for example:
The registration system has been changed, so you no longer have to form teams by yourself. To register you have to:An then come the notes.
Do not found teams in advance! Register individually, if you wish to join this competition
Just remove this. If you write a small intro with a clear procedure, you really don't have to have this note. If you want to write up on what not to do, you could think of a million other reasons, right?Teams will be formed with the help of local representatives among a list of valid registrations.
And now we come to the main problem. No info at all, except how it should end. You really need to be specific here (hell even I don't know what does this mean).
But to make this better, let's just ask a few questions which might help here:- Who is a local representative, and how does a person become one?
- What makes a registration valid?
- How does that affect other people who are not local representatives?
- Will everybody registered have a chance to play, or is the amount of people limited? If it's limited, by which criteria does one discard other people? ( I would assume you really need a limit, because if you take countries like Japan, China or USA (or any other bigger country), you could get 50+ players.)
If your registration was successful, you will be notified. This may take a while. The tournament management checks every registered user for their gameplay abilties and compiles teams manually based on that.
How does one objectively check for gameplay ability (besides ranking which really isn't that accurate)?
Why would one even need to check that?
Compiling teams based on on something that cannot be checked objectively (well, you can be really close to, but for the sake of discussion let's assume you can't be objective here)? Also, how? What does "based on" mean here?
Also, why is this done by tournament management and not a local representative?
Would make more sense for this to be done by a local representative, after all he should know what he wants inside his team. Excluding a person can only damage the potential choices and because the staff is doing this, time is wasted. Unless, there is something else here going on which isn't being said, which would require tournament management to step in?
Feel free to add more info or even ask more questions, I think it will be easier to form them after considering the above.
Also, have fun in the tournament!
