As Iam out of the tournament, I can make couple of proposals how to improve it for next years. Don't take it as a complaint, I really enjoyed this tournament. First of all, I like the switching between RM and DM + single elimination system and I hope those 2 things will stay. On the other hand, 1) the number of participants could be higher if there would be a bit more info about it - like posting on the main page in news section, or at least having own topic in general tournaments forum. I've found this tournament pretty much just by luck (although I definitely wouldn't miss it if it was on aoczone main page or it would have own topic in general tournaments) and probably I'm not the only one here.
2) The brackets were done really bad. Like the first thing is, that although both you and your father/brother are very noobs (and according to seeding you were 49th and 51st out of 51 players), you met in the first round (because surprisingly in brackets u're as number 32nd a 33rd), while there are better players than you who lost in the first round.. I have no problem if someone organize a tournament and then plays in it, but making brackets like this is a bit too much to be honest. You absolutely mixed all the players and the seeding is very missleading for pretty much anybody here and it leads to quite some issues, for example: Mr Trump as nr. 1 seed had to play first round, while many other players with worse seeding didn't need to do so, RcL_Nero and DarkDevil facing each other in 3. round being in original seedings as 19th and 14th (both 2k+ RM, 16+ DM), while in the 3. round skittle is facing spring (4th and 12th), both 2k+ RM players with huge DM experience, Twigg (seeded as 15th) is facing TatoH (like 90% winner of this event IMO), while according to seedings Riverplation (instead of me) would be facing Melkor as 16th and 9th and probably the worst is that MrTrump (seeded as 1st) would be facing Nero seeded as 6th. Like this is very unfair for many players and I would like to see this system being improve (I actually got "weaker" opponents than I should in all 3 rounds with all the respect to every single of them, so it's not my complaint).
3) The scheduling. I had pretty hard time to find the scheduling topic and once again I guess Iam not the only one, it would be way better to have the scheduling topics on aoczone or on voobly, that player can get there through voobly (I always found this topic on aoczone and then link tournament forum and this way I got into scheduling, quite stupid).
4) The rules - as there are nomad - like maps, I would for example like to know what to do if there is a TC fight, that should all be in rules. Another thing is that I miss by what time I can restart and if it's different in RM and in DM (u stated in my game last round, that it's 4 minutes in RM). 4 mins for DM on the other hand are way too much, but since there's nothing more about it I guess every player must accept if his enemy calls re in DM in 4:00.
Hope these things will be improved for next seasons, but other than that I had great fun to play this tournament and thanks for it.
