This is cool, but I'm not really keen on two teams per country. A lot of countries (like UK, for example) can't play anywhere near full strength this way

I thought keymode would be like any other attribute of a map, and that substitutes would be for different things, like 4K or LN stuff, etc

Loctav wrote:

Exactly. If a country (e.g. Australia) particiates in 4k, it does not need to have a 7k team, too. Australia can appear in 4k and 7k, but dont need to. The 32 countries in 4k can be entirely different from the 7k bracket.

Yeah, but then we can't just have one strong mania team and have to choose a keymode

I was thinking the same as you Cozzzy, that's why I brought the question up. Now the organizers can change that with more feedback/support (as per Loctav's post above, if i'm reading correctly), and then we can have:

- Same teams for 4k and 7k
- Different teams for 4k and 7k, with maybe 1 or 2 (or 3) same guys playing in both teams
- Two completely different teams for 4k and 7k

Aka full liberty with who we pick to represent our respective countries (mfw democracy) :!:

I consider supporting this full liberty concept by Gon. Therefore, you can create 2 teams or 1 team witj whoever you want. That seems quite okay for me.

Yeah! 4k tournament!
We will do our best!

I like it. Who do I give my social security # to?

So if the same guy played 7K and 4K and win both, he gets both prizes too?
And they can still choose to participate in only 4K or 7K right?

One question to clear my doubts: Is it now official that we can participate in both tournaments?

We'll see. I dont want to put promises by now. The registration opens in a few days, so you will notice.

No, these are separate tournaments.
This one is an official o!m world cup, while other one is just for fun

Hard Rock and Random brackets •w•

Just a thought

I love this concept but I have questions about the Mappools section.

Loctav wrote:

Mappools

About the mappools: We all know that playing modes is not of such a popular gain here in o!m, therefore we decided to pull off a different mappool structure - we will only have a FreeMod and a DoubleTime bracket (and a single tiebreaker). 7k and 4k will have seperated mappools for sure. Because we have less brackets, the mappools in total size will also be smaller but still enough to choose of. With only having FreeMod, the rule of "at least 1 player must play with at least one mode per team" will not be active. Pretty much, every map apart of DoubleTime is FreeMod and everyone can play with whatever mode they want, if they want.
When you say there will be FreeMod and DoubleTime brackets, does that mean during the Double Time bracket it will only be DoubleTime or will FreeMod still be on for like HD/FL/FI?
Because I think FreeMod should be on for players who only can play with vision mod (also mods doesn't apply extra points)

Can you explain this part, I can't comprehend this.

Hard Rock bracket sounds good but like what i said above, will FreeMod still be on or will it only be Hard Rock.
For the Random Bracket, I don't know if that should be allowed mainly because wouldn't that mean everyone patterns will be different (wouldn't be fair then, pattern wise) even if everyone pattern is the same, it is unnecessary.

DT bracket will be DT + Freemod bracket, having free selection of mods all the time and not having it only for DT feels silly

On other World Cups, when a freemod bracket was selected, one of players had to go with some kind of mod, now we're not forced to do it. So if someone wants HD/FI/FL, he just gets it, and if someone wants to play nomod, he can, no matter what second player in the team picks

I don't mean to be pushy, but any news on whether one player can do two keymodes Loctav? We'd really like to sort out our team before the registration opens
