This is kind of what I was thinking. Since we are going to reorder the new brackets, clans can opt out if they want. More work for me but fun for you guys. Of course, ++The Legion++ doesn't plan on leaving the winners bracket, so there you go.

You could have a 'Cup' and 'Shield' tournaments? Winners stay in the 'Cup' - losers go into the 'Shield'? A bit similar to double-elim - losers of cup 2nd round go into 2nd round of shield. May be a bit much for cup final losers to go into shield final though? Although then it would seem even more pointless to continue after a second defeat? Unless you then have a third contest - the 'Plate'

Let's just play them. I will set them up if people want to play. Might be good practice, plus, it is only 11 games. So not a huge deal.

I'm all for playing them. It tests the true depth of the clan, we've only just got 16 at the moment so there's no hiding !

What do mean by re-order the brackets??

The main bracket will stay as I originally envisioned it. Like the CC2 or NCAA tournament. That keeps it fun. The bottom 8 bracket and all subsequent "loser" brackets will be reseeded (this is what I meant by re-order). There is really no other way to do it. So, just keep winning and you won't have to worry about a "re-order".

I accidentally declined my invites. Will you resend please?

Good luck to all clans and all players in round 1 except those going against us. I hope you are destroyed quickly and painfully.

Is there such a thing? Quick and painful? lol

No doodle yet. Also, no Hive. Still a few games left unjoined. Should be interesting.

Can you please invite my buddy, sonicsteve, again to his games. He seems to have fallen over drunk. That pissed Brit!

We got a Stalingrad, not sure if those take awhile, but I know that map sucks balls.

We also got some small USA maps on quads. Lame.

Stalingrad isn't that bad. The small maps suck on quads...but it should make the tourney go quicker

We are fully joined. Nice job to all the clans! Let's have fun and figure out who is the best...at this format!

Except for Conquerman, we got a bunch of 3-territory per player maps!

Same here, some quick eliminations in our games already, that's the risk of random.

My favorite has been the operation drug-war quads game we have. Ah...random. Got to love it.
