Tournament Format and Qualifying
How is it decided what players will represent a country? If more then 8 players sign up to represent 1 particular country then a 1vs1 player vs player qualifying round will begin where match assignments will be posted in the qualifying forum. UPDATE: The top 5 players from this stage will move on to represent their country from these 5 a captain will be chosen amongst them, who will then chose an additional 3 players from the pool of candidates for that particular country. If 5-8 players sign up to fight for a particular country then the team will be created and advanced into Captain selection and country vs. country qualifying. UPDATE July 5th: If less then 4 people sign up for a particular country then that country cannot take part in TWWC events. Unless it merges with another country and all parties agree to be a united team for the TWWC, we encourage this for teams with low numbers and share similar, culture/language with another country with low numbers. Qualifying: All teams that have been approved will advance into the country vs. country qualifying stage where teams will be put into 4 divisions and face off vs. other countries. The top 4 teams in every division according to points will advance into the Main TWWC tournament Tournament play: 16 Teams will move on to the main tournament (never more, never less) and will be faced off at random against another team where they will play a best of 3 series (first to win 2 games moves on) this format will continue until there is only 4 teams left. Once there is only 4 teams left, then again the 4 teams are randomly paired off against each other and play a best of 3 series, but if a team loses they will play again in the bronze medal game, and the winning countries will play in the gold medal game.
