It seems the moderator hasn't approved the application yet, probably due to the delay caused by the CIS region. Please wait a bit...
I've now read the tournament rules, and I'm not entirely clear on one point: it states that players can play the first round themselves, but it also says that the game counts towards qualification if it's a best-of-three (BO3) match, meaning it goes to two wins. Why all these complications? Wouldn't it be simpler to give players a specific time to register for the tournament, then draw the brackets and have them play accordingly? If someone doesn't show up for a game within, say, two weeks, they're eliminated, and their opponent advances. The scheme you proposed has many flaws.
I can give an example from my own experience. I played a first-round game with a player, or at least we agreed to play a first-round game, specifically with the player named Warden. The game ended in his favor, but it counted towards qualification, which was surprising to me, but ultimately a good thing. Then, we played again, and this time it was supposed to be the first round, as the qualification was already over, although it's unclear how it was completed if it was supposed to be a BO3. Now, Warden loses to me, the score is 1-1, but in reality, the first round goes to me, which I should theoretically be happy about, but I don't feel that way.
And it's unclear what the moderator has to do with it? Where is the organizer? :smile18:
