Who can participate?Although all games are played as 1v1, this is a team competition where you score points for your team (country), and you must sign up as a team. You can use this thread to show interest in forming a team, or you can start a new thread on the WZ Classic forums.
Signups of individual players will be ignored.
A full team is composed of 6 players, but you can sign up with as few as 4 players. This will lead to your team missing some games, but you automatically earn 0.5 win for each such game (and opponents get a full point).
You can add and remove players from your team during the competition. There are only 2 simple rules:
-you can add max 1 player per round to each team;
-you can't add players that already represented a different country this season.
If your country has lots of players, you can consider submitting multiple teams, for example USA A, USA B etc, up to 4 teams per country. To improve your chances for a good result, you should aim to put your best players in your A team.
Every player should be at least level 54. This is a guarantee that they have all the important maps and settings unlocked.
To stay in the spirit of this competition, players should only play for a country to which they have a strong real-life connection.
Every player must play for himself. Getting help from other players or playing on multiple accounts is against the rules, and also very lame. You don't want to show the entire WZ community that your country is lame.
To sign up your team, you should ideally send me a WZ-mail with profile links to members of your team. Alternatively you can post it in this thread, or even send me a message in Discord.
What's the format exactly?All games are played with 2 days boot time base + 3 days banked, vacations not honored.
Quarterfinal games and later might have more bank because of Christmas season.
The competition is split into 3 phases: qualifiers, main event, and knockout phase.
In the qualifiers, teams will be split into 8 groups of 3-4 teams. Depending on group size, every player will get 2-3 games against their opponents on September 20th, and another 2-3 on October 4th. The two teams in each group with the highest number of wins advance to the main event.
Futhermore, eight A teams who historically achieved the best results will completely skip these qualifiers. These teams are:
France A
Australia and New Zealand A
USA A
Poland A
Netherlands A
Germany A
Canada A
UK A
The main event is scheduled to start at October 25th. The 8 aforementioned teams and the 16 teams who passed the qualifiers will be split into 4 groups of 6.
Each player will play 1 game each round for 5 rounds. Top 2 teams from each group will enter the quarterfinals.
In the quarterfinals, semifinals and the grand final, two teams will face each other directly and play 12 games. If needed to avoid a tie, a 13th game will also be created. Each team will choose their (best) player to play that 13th game.
TiebreakersWhat if two or more teams finish with the same score after the group phase?
Main teams (meaning, the A teams) get priority over the secondary teams. In general, the first tiebreaker goes this way: A>B>C>D.
The second tiebreaker is the head-to-head result, in other words, the win rate in direct games between teams in question.
The last tiebreaker is the initial seeding, with higher seeded team getting priority. Since seeding is based on past results, it's a fair way of resolving a tie.
