2v2 Random OPEN -- let's try again.

[aaronINdayton]

Since the time from sign ups and start dates is fairly large, you may want to have players check-in to make sure they're still planning on playing.

Notice: I've filled in the seedings for the first round in the spreadsheet; In the details tab you can find your matchups for the first round. The 5th game (brown rows) is not filled in yet (only P2); I'll explain that in the rules below.

Revised overview of qualifiers rules:
Each round consists out of a best of 5 with your direct opponent. Every competitor is paired to one opponent, and each pair is paired to another pair to make matches. Games 1-4 are seeded with fixed teammates, turn order and maps:
Round 1: Candy Core Mine
Round 2: Machination
Round 3: CUVM*
*CUVM = Currently Unknown Veggienauts Map (can someone leak a name please )
Game 5 is a tiebreaker. Of each bracket, the lower seeded one is selected, and one of them is randomly picked to choose a teammate. He will start as P2, and is already filled in on the match details. Map will be Blitz Beach for the full qualifiers. The 5th game is played at the same time as the other games!

Even though the top 8 on 2v2r aren't supposed to get matched against the top of the world, it didn't keep the system from screwing sakhiel completely over by matching him against worldfamous

another forum bug bump?

It seemed like if you had a 2v2 seeding, you used that instead of a 1v1 seeding. Even if the 1v1 spot was higher than their 2v2 spot? For those that didn't have a 2v2 seeding, you just used their 1v1 to seed them. I'd think you should almost pick the higher of the 2 to seed them? Just a thought.

Good point. What i was thinking is the following:

Players are allowed to start their games (and take their first turn) a few days before the actual start (November 29th), to be able to notify any not-playing done by competitors so we are able to react quickly (rematching/kicking). Preferbaly don't take any turns before the official start, although it shouldn't be a problem if turns 3-4 were accidentaly taken before being notified. It's recommended to use this 'pre-start' as a option to discuss 5th game teamups.
