I don't understand. What is not fair, if i'm stating that i'm willing to extend the rooster if there's enough players?
This tournament was thought since the beggining to accept people without restrictions.

Mainly because ppl are still competing, they still have a chance to get there through Swiss format, and i don't want people to drop there while still having a chance, just to sign up here.

If i'm willing to consider the extension of this Wildcard, in number of participants, i fail to see how is this unfair.

Anyway, what i wanted to mention was that this mimics the Wildcard tournament we had for WC2012.
There was a Swiss there, and then ppl that were in the Swiss could also sign up for the Wildcard.
I see no reason for not do it.
As any tournament, first to come is first to be served. Everyone was warned at the same time.
And i hope that 64 spots can acomodate ever interested.

It is fair if it will be extended to 64 spots, not fair if only 32 spots and people who didn't even have the chance to join the swiss won't take a spot over people who already joined the swiss because of "timezone" differences(meaning they saw your thread first because they're awake when it's posted and people from other timezones were sleeping and weren't able to post quick enough). I'm okay with giving the people currently in swiss stage their 2nd chance to make top 16, but at least give us people who didn't have the chance to join the swiss at least 1 chance to make it if ever this will end up to be a 32 man pop up if not enough people will play to make it 64.

Let's see how the signups roll, until the end of the deadline.

Bump. Help me out here.

I really want to make a big 64 man pop-up, but i need the help of you guys.

I'd just like to highlight this info, that i just added to OP, prior to this Wildcard happening:

Important: If one player wins the wildcard, he will participate in Grand Finals with that cardpool. Even if he secured a place in top15 already.
In this case, his place in top15 will be filled by the 16th player in Swiss format.

If it gets changed to 64 it needs to be a regular tourney.. not a popup. That will take way too much time, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't sit and play for like 6 hours straight.

Vitality, most other games have their tournaments in 1 day, usually on a weekend, its a very very strange format to use month long tournaments with week long rounds, i wish we had more large pop ups, or even large single day tournaments with a cut to top 8.

Will he participate in the 16th(wildcard seed) or his personal seed he earned from the swiss.
