The group stage is over. Final standings for each group.
Playoff draw completed.
Playoffs. Upper bracket
Playoffs. Lower bracket
I've postponed the following tasks:
1) Figure out how to reduce the size of the lower bracket.
2) Finish drawing all the arrows, deadlines for later stages, and the 1/2 and final brackets in the lower bracket.
3) Set dates for matches in the upper bracket – for now, assume 2 weeks per match in the round of 16 (that’s a total of 6 weeks for the round of 16 because there’s an extra round in the lower bracket, where 3 rounds will be played simultaneously over 2 weeks), followed by 4 weeks for Best-of-Three series.
The main thing I wanted to do, and did, was show who is playing against whom and which team advances from the upper bracket to the lower bracket.
Regarding timelines, please note that:
- you can play ahead of schedule if both opponents are ready.
- in the lower bracket, there isn't much time to waste; each match has a 2-week deadline. If you see any signs of stalling from your opponent, don't hesitate to write and request a One Day Delay (ODD). This isn't the group stage, where you could make up games later.
(This doesn't mean extensions aren't possible – if you have scheduling difficulties, let me know as soon as possible, and we'll figure something out.)
I will continue to set ODD once a week – on Thursdays, as I don't have a lot of free time right now.
- To request an ODD for the playoffs (by 11:00 PM CT), offer at least 12 hours in advance for the default time next week.
Good luck to everyone!
