Thanks guys for all the offers of help glad so many of you are expressing a interest, i know this is a huge undertaking but i plan to spend some time over the next couple of months creating the format so its actually somewhat doable online. I think the finals will be a set-up similar to words but with some differences.
My plan for the finals would be to have the top x (4, 8, 16 or 32 depending on numbers) trainers on the championship points ladder get seeded positions to the finals knockout stage. The next 2x trainers would enter a swiss round tournament and at the end of that the top 50% would fill the remaining unseeded positions in the finals. This way seeds kind of matter as it means if your the number 1 seed you won't meet the number 2 or 3 to till the final. Note all games in the knockout stage would be Bo3.
Its just the regular tournaments i need to plan for accordingly since i have no control over how many people can enter it would most likely consist of a huge swiss round(s) or several small 1's to cut numbers to knockout levels . But i want to gauge interest etc for this in advance so i can hopefully use a format and make it scalable but designed for the numbers who want to go.
