How long does it take to make these handbooks? Really impressive.

Chrazini, two mistakes that i note:
- it says 16 PLAYERS in 4 groups, it is so or it is 16 TEAMS in 4 groups?
- in the Event Timeline, in the Group Stage, it only says group A and B, and up it says 4 groups. Dont know which is wrong.

It should be Saturday and Sunday there.

The discord server link in the handbook is also for the resurgence, not BoA3

I'll get through these issues later today and provide an updated version. Thanks for the comments.

There's a few other times player(s) are mentioned in the handbook where it should say teams (especially the ones under payout are pretty funny)
swissboy should be changed to swissboyy, he really liked the second y. It's good to see the map creators get a shout though!

When will the exact seeding be announced?

- in the Event Timeline, in the Group Stage, it only says group A and B, and up it says 4 groups. Dont know which is wrong.

Both are kinda true, players are divided into groups of 4 for the first two rounds, but in the decider round they're able to play against someone from the larger group.

On a sidenote, in my opinion it would be more clear to call it a double elimination group stage. For example, looking at KotD4 which had the same system, group A would look like this:

instead of this:

On page 3 in the summary, it states that the quarterfinals are Best of 5. In the Main Event section it is a Best of 7 which would also fit the timetable.

^ clearly someone who doesn't appreciate the Europa League

 

[LeoMontero]

Best of 7 series and best of 9 series, should not have ban in the first 7 games so players must use all civs. and in the case of best of 9, make a draft with all the bans you decide.
with these draft sistem, its probably that we dont see the civs bans for the first draft, because im pretty sure that they will ban in the second draft too.

I see you've corrected the players into teams for most cases, but for the Quarterfinals, Semifinals and Finals description it still says this:

Before the first game commences, players must complete a map draft followed by a civilisation draft.
The highest-seeded player of the matchup must host the drafts.
