Nationality based tournements

I don't know if this has been suggested before (had a quick search but couldn't find anything), but I'll do so anyway:

Do we have at least one representative of every country in the world as a member of conquerclub? If so, we could organise some sort of nationality based heats

ie: each country gets to vote a representative in, who then plays in heats of 4 or so "teams" (although they could be single player for countries with only one representative) - rather like the world cup for football. World 2.0 seems like the obvious map for these heats.

People would watch the games and support their country...

I think he means the country you are residing in.

Yeah, its close to what I mean, except people play for the country they come from as opposed to picking a country.
i really like this idea


Thanks :) If I had more time, I'd organise it - I'd happily help organise it though - maybe with someone who's organised a tournament before

Sounds like my World Championship idea - I was going to make it Freestyle, but will probably run it as Terminator.

My idea was continent-based rather than country-based - mainy because it may be hard to find players from some countries and millions would want to join from others (e.g. USA/Canada/UK etc.).

Country-based heats could be involved with my WOrld Championship idea for the more popular countries? Might be a bit unfair thoughas players from those countries would have more games to get through to be able to win, it would favour those from under-represented countries.

Would be great if you could help with my tournament as I need someone to run the qualifying stages for the 'Rest of the World' (i.e. non Europe/N America).

Was originally going to have S America, Asia Africa and Oceania groups but I'm not sure if there are enough interested players out there?

Maybe running a pilot tournament for the rest of the world might be an idea?

Anyway, check-out my idea: http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=68976

And my European 'pilot' tournament: http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=69781&start=0&hilit=freestyle+king+of+europe
