In attached image you can see the votes of some of the joined players for tie-break map in World Cup rounds.

Please, if you are not in the list, send me your vote. I think that is a better choice when the most of players take this important decision.

I am not in the list......if finally there is the same number for 2 or 3 maps, I will include my vote.

This image will be updated when we have new votes.

Waiting for more votes!

Last update: Sep, 7 Final Votes.

Я так понял голосование, выбираю Anubis тогда!!!

Well, my friends, here we go

Finally, we are 39 players in World Cup 2016 list.

This number implies that we only need previous round for 14 players (fighting for 7 places in 1/16).

Therefore, 25 players are included directly in 1/16 K.O. table.

In attached images you can see:

- List of players ordered by glicko score.
- Matches of previous round.
- World Cup 2016 K.O. table with players included (previous round players left).

Friday, Sep 9 will start the games of previous round and the games of 1/16 final where both of opponents appears on K.O. table.

As you can see in edited image of previous post, the map that will be used for tie-break games is: CRATEUS.

In my opinion this World Cup will give us many emotions!

Good luck to all!

Let look all pairs of 1/16 - board 1 -...., board 2- .... Otherwise it seems like the manipulation to choose the next opponents through glicko-rating.

Why call manipulation to a clear "rule"?

There are 14 players in previous round and 7 will pass to 1/16 round. Glicko-points of winners will tell us what is the position of each one. The lower glicko-player will be number 32 and so on...

That is the only way to keep the spirit of pairing.

Glicko-points tell us??? Points for what period? Now or after one month than previous round will be ended? Make the clear and fair rules right now, please, without choosing likely opponent.

In the tournament we use the glicko score that player has when inscription period ends. That glicko appears published in the first attached image. It is the basis for do the pairing table of 1/16 Final.

In previous round we only find the last 7 players that will play in 1/16.

We can't pass directly the winner of a previous round match to a defined place. For example, in the first "board" we have the match 26-33. Obviously, if player number 26 wins he stay in number 26 (there is not any higher glicko in previous round), but if is player number 33 who wins, he can't pass directly as number 26 to the table (that case only occurs if really is the first glicko player after the result of previous round).

Previous round has not communication with 1/16 Finals in pairings. It is only a way for complete the table of 1/16 Finals when we have more than 32 joined players in tournament and too a chance for theorical "weaker" players participating in World Cup.

Just say it, you are afraid of fighting me...


I am pretty okay with this system, I find it fair. Arranging the lower ranks of the incoming players would be like another tournament, just to let us play.

If you win, you go up and if you lose, you tried it.

Dear PolarisDesu,

Le_Roy's comment maybe was done due to my "quirky" english in the description of rules and development of tournament.

He is a good friend of mine and I think that finally he has understood how previous round works.

He don't needs help for beat you or beat me .....He is one of the really top-players of this game!

Therefore, I think good idea stop here with format comments!

Good luck to all!

It was just a good intended competitive spirit before the matches, all good.

I will start to play on the weekend
