The main goal of this event is to keep cubers playing competitively through the post-ACWC Fall Season. Also to get more players playing. Normal tournies, lower skilled teams won't play or they will play and lose 35-0 and be out(hooray 30 mins of action). Then the good teams have a handful of players being benched. We want everyone having the chance to play, and to be on a somewhat even level with their competitors.
I see a few pro clans having trouble making Silver teams because they fear they are too good. Maybe a Gold-Silver gap isn't enough. Next time(Spring) we may have to expand a Bronze League, which would probably end up being quite small. I'd like to see 6+ teams per league. We'll see how the turnout is and how this one runs before deciding on adding Bronze to the Spring lineup.
Heyo. Trying to keep it simple. Expect an overall power rankings list at the end of the event, weighted a bit against Silver teams so they can never get too high, but can end up ahead of poor gold teams. Secret B} math will go into it, I assure you. So teams can see their improvement or lack of improvement next time. Really simple, but yes. :3
