Welcome To The Largest 1 V 1 Single-Elimination Tournament In CC History!

7/3 - Two Play-In Round games are still in progress. When both of those games are completed, the brackets can be updated. Some Round of 512 invitations are being sent out in the meantime.

[spoiler=Tournament Format]

- This tournament will be a single elimination 1 v 1 tournament, 1 game per round.

- Players will create/list their home maps and settings when they join the tournament (See the instructions box). Higher seeds play on their home map until The Round of 16.

- Players will be receive their seeding based on their rank. Ranks will be locked in before the tournament starts. Once a player's rank is locked it will not be unlocked. It will not matter whether a player's rank goes up or down in the days leading to the tournament if her/his rank is already locked.

- There are 594 players signed-up. The bottom 184 players will play a 1 v 1 single elimination game in the Play-In Round (All rounds are one game single elimination games). The higher ranked players will play the games on their home maps. After The Play-In Round, the 16 brackets will be formulated according to the the locked in ranks of the remaining 512 players.

- After The Play-In Round, the tournament will feature 16 brackets and there will be no further byes after The Play-In Round. The winners of each bracket will play in the later single elimination rounds in which the maps are random.

- When we reach the final 4 rounds (16 players), the map will be random and the settings will be set with random.org.
Freestyle options will not be included in the final four rounds unless both players that are playing against each other had freestyle settings in their home map. Such a match-up would be played freestyle, otherwise sequential will be the default option for the final four rounds.

- The brackets will follow generally accepted methods of bracketology in all instances.

- Players will have 72 hours to join their games. Extensions (or possibly fill-in reserves) can be granted at my discretion otherwise forfeits will be enforced.

- Noteworthy: The winner of this tournament will be the only player to not lose a round! She/He will be The Unsurpassed Champion!

[spoiler=Who Can Join And Instructions For Entering The Tournament]- Registration is now closed. A list of reserves will be kept, but do to the nature of seeding it is not likely that any reserves would be used.[/spoiler]

Notable

- This is the first tournament that I have ever ran. I will put ideas for future tournaments on hold, while this first grand tournament is running.

- For my first tournament, I wanted to come out of the gates with a big bang and I have succeeded by breaking the unofficial record of 512 tournament entrants (Source: HighlanderAttack).

- We finished with 594 entrants, falling well short of our stated goal of 1,000 entrants. But it still is a huge tournament!

- I would like to thank those that have helped me in my efforts or will help me in the future. I have been individually thanking people publicly, but going forward I'll let this blanket statement suffice. I'll make any future personal extensions privately.

Likely there will be overlapping but even then it takes time to get each round's invites out.
