Sure, that's probably why Loctav is flooded by registration PM since the news came outMYRKUL wrote:
Don't ask me why, but my forecast is cancellation due to lack of players/teams
That outcome will not happen just so you know.Luna wrote:
Okay, I lied, there's three possible outcomes. The third - and most likely one - is that nobody even touches those mods. But if that's what you are going for, why even allow them in the first place?
Just going to quote this.....mliencheng wrote:
Frankly, not letting the country itself choose their own team is really a crap idea.
This tournament is getting worse every year.

You didn't get it
The Tournament Management will not enforce specific teams. As it currently stands (as explained yesterday in #taiko) it will more than likely be that a trustworthy player that registered gets to be captain and get a list of people that are able to play in the tournament and then they can discuss with them and pick a team. So you ARE able to play "in your team" if you want. Loctav stated that he does not want the management to pick teams for players

you send a registration
a local representative (that excludes the tournament management), aka somebody trustworthy from your own country that registered too and most likely ended up being a captain in a previous TWC or the current TWC is able to talk with people that registered, got accepted and form a team with them.
i prefer someone from tournament management to explain itNwolf wrote:

Exactly, we need a formal explanation from the TMLZD wrote:

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.
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.
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.
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.
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 competitionJust 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).
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)?
