I don't believe it's the right way to just count all the points together that a player received throughout the tournament, since some of the maps have got really different attributes (max. combo, style, difficulty) than others, thus resulting in total imbalance. So while players may get 500k points on one map (if they even pass) they could get those 500k by hitting 30 or so notes in a 1k combo. With this system, from my point of view it would be the smartest thing to say: "Why should I bother with passing Cirno's Perfect Math Class if I could get a ton of points by learning to get FC on Netoge Haijin Sprechchor with a lot less effort?"
I would say the way it is makes it more like the way osu actually plays. When you are playing a map for a good rank the only thing that matters is getting a good combo. That's just they way osu was made, and this is an osu tournament. I would also say that the disadvantages of the system you said are worse. In that case you don't actually know how well you did in the tournament overall, all you know is how well you did in your bracket of people. If you get placed In a bracket with really good people then you are last, where you might actually get a half-decent rank.
The only thing I'm not sure if I agree with is the 0 if you fail thing. I'm having to put in some effort to learn to pass some of these songs, which I'm fine with, but I wonder how the people that are worse than me are doing.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT ONLY FC SOME OF THE MAPS!!!! The whole point is that when it comes time to play the tournament, it's a Random Draw using an Online Random Name Generator (Works just as well, because osu! like to pick "Favorites" for Maps). If you FC 6 of the 15 Given Maps, only 7 are played, so If you ignore the other 8, and 6 or all 7 songs are in that 8, you are skrewed. If this method works for you the first time, and you advance, good job, It'll just bite you in the butt the next round, which will have even more songs than before.

why not just remove the lower levels? a tournament like that would be so boring
Yeah, because that seems fair after CookieAM and I have already been practicing for a week, preparing for the tournament.
The way I understand it, the point of this tournament is to provide a competitive atmosphere for players of all skill levels, not just the ones who are ranked in the Top tier. Sure, we may not be as good as a lot of the others who have entered; but rather than making a comment like the one you made and say that it would be boring, why not use some of the influence you and the other Expert participants have to help advertise the tournament and get more lower-ranked players to participate and make it not "so boring"? Why not get a group together to send messages to players at a rank that would qualify them for one of the lower level tournaments?
Don't fight! Be Happy
. The reason I started the Lower Level Tournaments is because I don't see a lot of Tournaments other than Expert/Pro Tournaments, which though there are exceptions, kinda sucks for the people (Like Myself) Who want to compete but can't play at the level of the songs given in a tournament.

Split the expert players into 3 groups or so, keeping the same map pool
So I would end up Having 6 Tournament Groups in the end... *Smashes Abort Button and Jumps off a Burning Ship*

So I also had one thought about the scoring system (correct me if Iam talking comeplete bull or useless stuffl)
Why dont we take the score and divide it by the maximum possible combo? The scores would be moved to a point where a 500 combo song is somewhat close to a 900 combo song. (atleast closer than osu! score vs osu! score)
Let me give an example:
Marie-Luise has a max combo of x1040. The best no-mod score is 17.724.516. Now, if we calculate that with the "formula" above, we'd have a score of 17042,8 pts
Classical Insanity has a max combo of x412. The best no-mod score is 3.526.596. Doing the same here, we'd have a score of 8559,7 pts
17042 pts - 8559 pts = 8483 pts difference instead of 14.197.920 osu! score. (edit: where the 8k score is ~40-50% and the osu! score doesnt even scratch that)
If Id think some more about it I'd also possibly give an example about not-FC`d maps, but I guess this shows what iam aiming for.
That is an Interesting Point System, the only thing is that I'm not Subtracting scores, only adding. Also How I set it up (At Least in my Head) is that Instead of playing all the Rounds for all the groups and then all the highest all together move on, The highest people (However many I need) from each group move on. Although that is an Interesting formula you set up.
Also, I received an Anonymous message asking if it was fair to have Kyou-Kun participate in the tournament when he is in the Top 100 Worldwide. Just so that others don't message me about this
it is absolutely fair for Kyou-Kun to participate. Do not take this example as me making a statement, it's just an example: Let's say that Kyou-Kun cracks under the pressure of the Tournament and misses a combo, and it messes his scores up and then he can't advance on. That's a possibility, and that same thing can happen to any other players in the tournament as well.
