    I am not sure how to rephrase. What I mean is, the player who gets to the winners final has to play against the best player from that bracket, then has to play against the best players in the grand finals from the losers bracket (which includes the other finalist from winners bracket). If the winners grand finalist does not have an advantage, like for example starting 1-0 in the last match he's being punished for being good.

    He could for example throw a game before and just win games in the losers bracket to get to the finals.

    Some big tournaments with 2x elimination do this, or they have some other mechanic to account for, having a mini match called "reset stage", a bo3 for example, that if the losers finalist wins he just proceeds to the actual grand finals match, otherwise he loses.

    I can make it so that the loosers finalist must beat the winners finalist in two matches

    to not punish the winners finalist we should give him 1 game ahead of time for the last match.

    Otherwise we are really just punishing the finalist forcing him to take on the strongest players, while others can branch out to the losers bracket and sneak into the finals. So, in this case the winners bracket finalist starts the match with a 1-0 lead (as is done often in other big tournaments).

    I don't really understand this could you please rephrase?

    - Players need to register (or provide as nick) their 0ad names, so we are able to provide a better balance
    - The best x players (where x is the number of groups) will be randomly assigned to separate groups
    - The second best x players will be randomly assigned to separate groups
    - All other players will be randomly assigned to their groups

    Seeding rules are well done. but do you think they will dominate their groups?

    By 'best' above I mean the perceived prowess of players in 1v1, unfortunately it's subjective. We could also use ratings as a more objective criteria but I think ratings do not measure that very well at the moment.

    Agreed, Rating as a bit experimental. I feel that rating should compare both players rating. also implementing a random game playing system will be awesome. So noobs auto pair with noobs, this would also mean we can remove rating from the custom matchmaking room entirely.

    That said, I prefer the group stage to move fast than to have a perfect balanced matchup for now, it also adds to the entertainment factor. Expect some upsets though. This could also bring some insights for the next cup version.

    We can talk more overthat in email.but good idea

    Map choices:

    I'd like to suggest for the Bo3s to have a map ban step where each player bans one map of the pool (the higher rated player banning first):

    - Balanced Mainland (s)
    - Wrench (m)
    - Balanced Hyrcanian Shores (m)
    - Slopes (s)
    - Cross (m)

    With that said the tournament finals is a bo5. so that would mean there is no banning maps in the last games

    Maybe make the final stage double elimination? It seems we have a stronger roster, would be nice to provide an additional opportunity to win the tournament, especially if we have some upsets before the finals. The losers bracket might provide some good entertainment as well since at least 8 good players will be there.

    Would you like me to split the double elimination bracket in two or not see this for reference. I have made it double elim.

    I don't mind the single civ ban, but I also don't like that a player can just repeat the same civilization on all matches. It would be nice to stipulate that a player can choose 3 different civs before the 1st match start and only pick from that pool. Higher rated picks first on the first match, loser picks first on the second match, third match are remaining civs.

    I don't really understand you can you please rephrase that?
