Whatever country to represent is ok

[shoop76]

We are full and waiting privileges. We only have 18 teams so the format will have to changed. Will come up with something in the next day or so.

[Mad777]

Privileges granted, have fun!

[shoop76]

Its not easy finding a good format with 18 teams.

I propose we have 6 groups of 3 teams. You will play a home and away against the other 2 teams in your group. The winners advance to the bracket stage.

The 4 best 2nd place teams will advance to a playoff, with the winners advancing to the bracket stage. Ties will be broken by

1. Series wins
2. Match wins
3. Set or game wins

The bracket will be a random draw using random.org. 1 will play 2, 3 plays 4, and so on with the first team drawn being the home team. This will be redone for SF and finals.

If I reci=eive no objections within the next 48 hours we will proceed with this format.

[iAmCaffeine]

Sounds good to me mate.

[Mad777]

Can I suggest having the group of 2nds (4 teams) playing in a same group facing the 3 others? Otherwise I'm fine either choice...

I think this would likely add another 3 months to the tournament, so I will go with original format. Going back to check that all teams have maps and settings and then we will get started.

Group D, FRA beat CAN 5-0, 20-5

Also have a question:

18 teams format is all group winners (6) & 4 best 2nd (4), that brings 10 teams for the bracket phase...how will you be able to have a bracket with that amount of team?
