Event 1: Okay...
Event 2: It says 2 teams and then it says 1 team. I'm confused? How many teams can you enter?
Event 3: Weird timing, guess i won't be playing future...
Event 4: Wether it's vp score or regular score hardly matters, 3 city elim should make things interesting. It's nice to see that we are playing a scenario where newbs can't pick medevil or later civs!
Event 5: Okay....
Event 6: These teamers with more than 2 teams hardly ever work, because they are never fair. If you start beside a teammate you have an incredible huge advantage.
Event 7: Doesn't seem to start , but when it starts look for 12 hour event! Can we sub in this event or do we still to play forever to gain points?

Finals: woah, im not too keen on huge teamers, but i guess we can try it. Expect me to say: "I told you so" if it goes bad

8 players on QC never good idea, 2v2v2v2 bad idea especially on Neal's qc where you don't have ancient UUs so you need to research to get your GA (And 2v2v2v2 is harder to research since u usually alone). Make it regular qc

ok just make a reg 2v2 qc it is a classic and for the 1v1 no tec vr tecs classic vanillia like forever and for finals 1v4 and 2v3 then whoever meets in finals then you don't have depend on every game for good land plus then you don't get all the lag that comes along with the 8 people games plus you only have to target 1 enimy very creative avo but how it is is fine

Wow, I dont understand a word you said!!!

Event number 2 corrected. Each clan enters two teams.

Event future. I was trying to find a spot where Euros can start early and North Americans start late. This way it ends early for Euros and very late for North Americans.

If you can suggest a time good for Euros, I will gladly move it. The goal here was to favorize the Euros for once.

[Avogadro]

I have modified to 2v2 QC to add a twist to it.

[Avogadro]

I specified time for cton. No subs allowed. The first round should be lightning fast, second round pretty quick as well.

[Avogadro]

For finals, if enough persons object to the format, I will change it to somethign more traditional. (in a few days to see)

[nascar]

well just keep it 2v2 qc because that keeps no lag which is the main reason it is 2v2
and event 1 the 1v1 aztecs battle just make it 1v1 vanillia instead.

[nascar]

for the finals make the number 1 seed play the 4 seed not having them do a 2v2v2v2 that is messed up just do like usally because it is a lot more for to have a bracket for the finals

you understand that?

Should be.... You don't have a clue.

Lets say there are 20 players, that means 5 games. Lets say 4 games finish within 1hr, all those 4 games will have to wait for the last game to finish. Lets say that the last game is really close or it lags a lot so the event exceeds the estimated time. Then the same with round #2. Following this logic euros will have to play through the night to win. You should be able to sub, there is no "honor" in winning the cton cause the others couldn't participate. Maybe try limiting it to subbing players who didn't enter in the first place.

Tec vs Tec is not much different from vanilla... The only "real" difference is that having freshwater is more important now.

[Avogadro]

Fixed finals format.

Cton can be subbed but only between rounds.

Btw when do you americanos change the time back an hour? I know in Denmark we did today..
