PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD?

Whilst this is not a sign-up thread, but please reply here to show interest so we can plan how many rounds there will be.

You can also ask questions here.

why wcwc2 not A and B? 2pm time cancel ？

[Gondorian]

There was never meant to be a 1A and 1B - I did it due to popular demand and because I was available earlier in the day to do the check-in for 1A (taking decklists and shuffle the bracket a random number of times to keep things fair).

WCWC2 cannot be split up because there will be no time to arrange a 2A winner vs 2B winner final before the Grand Finals and I will not be available to do the check-in and brackets earlier in the day.

This time almost banned all the Asia players.

It's 2 am to 5 am in the night in Asia.

The Swiss tournament was designed to cater for all timezones and 30/32 spots will be taken by those people.

If your friends did not qualify as one of those people, then I'm sorry to say that they blew their best chance. Most people in the top 30 have 4 or 5 wins out of 8 matches. To win WCWC2, you will need 5 or 6 match wins in a row and no losses. If you know anyone who is that confident of themself, then I think they would probably wake up in the middle of the night to prove it.

By your logic, I have also effectively banned anyone who is not free on the Grand Finals weekend. It's just bad luck if the timing doesn't suit you. I try to cater for everyone as best I can, but it's not possible to fit things round everyone's free time.

since when is winning 5 matches enough to qualify in swiss! 5 wins 2 ties and 1 lose and im sadly at 25 points probably 1 short even with a decent tiebreaker(i think projected 127.5), all i know is i will find a way to be at this wildcard tourney even if i have to pull over on way home from work and play on my phone.

sorry for complaining, i understand there isnt anything you can do and we all learn from this how to improve the method of improving the qualifying system. just taking out frustration of feeling like i played well enough but some bad luck, some bad draws turning wins into draws and 5 point wins into 4...w/e gtg

Understand that not all the people can be satisfied by the time set. But how do you know the GMT 9PM suits the most? Maybe a better approach for "cater for most of the people" is to have a vote open for those willing to attend and see what time most people asking for.
