- Dear NAoC4 participants and potential additional sign-ups
The following players have just been approved after a long waiting time:
002. Carlini8 | AoCZone | Voobly | Steam 088. (new zealand) OctagonalDiao | AoCZone | Voobly | Steam, Steam 089. mp3_kiLLa | AoCZone | Voobly | Steam 090. Djenghis_Sam | AoCZone | Voobly | Steam 091. __tiago_ | AoCZone | Voobly | —
The ELO/games numbers of these players were in a grey area regarding the skill ceiling limit of our tournament. We have now decided to include them, because there are approved sign-ups with lower numbers but equal skills. This way, Paladin League will probably be a "slightly better than 1600" competition.
Timotheus has been denied. (_blank) Flo36 still needs to post the link of his Voobly profile if he wants to get approved.
This leaves us with 92 sign-ups (or 91 if Flo36 doesn't reply). The way NAoC4 is designed, 96 participants would mean 32 groups of 3 players, then three single elimination brackets with exactly 32 players each. Every additional player would expand the bracket with an additional round/week. Hence we decided to limit the sign-ups to 96 players. This means 4 (or 5) spots are left for the last 24 hours of the sign-up timeframe. First come, first served! (Still, nobody with better stats than the already approved will be accepted.) There will be a waiting list of additional sign-ups for the case someone drops out in Group Stage.
If you have second thoughts because you may be too strong for this tournament or your life suddenly became busier, please consider a withdrawal of your participation. Now is the time
Seeding and brackets will be done right after sign-up deadline (or 96 slots taken). Release can last until sunday.
Sign-Up deadline: 21st October, 20:00 GMT.
