Basically this is a competition to pick the best user of the year.
What should you take in mind for this? EVERYTHING! From how good they are at playing the game, to how much you like them personally, and everything else you can think of.
In this thread you will post your nominations. They can be as many as you want, and you can also nominate yourself.
Almost every nominated user will be taken in mind. And I will add users that weren't nominated but I feel like they deserve to be in the competition. This competition is also supposed to be a Sandbox thing. So users that mainly play in other lobbies will not be taken in mind.
This competition is supposed to be about current players, or at least players that added a lot to the site in 2017. People who haven't played much or at all since 2016 shouldn't be nominated.
I will need a certain specific amount of players, so there is a chance that not everyone nominated will be in the final competition, but I will try to add the big majority, and I will ask people who they think are the less deserving of being in the competition out of the ones in doubt.
Ideally I'd need a total of 160 or 192 or 256 users, but we'll see how it goes, there are ways to handle it if there are less or more than that.
The 2 of each group that pass to the next round will be passed on to the next round and from there on it will be a regular bracket tourney, made in Challonge.
But I'll tell you more about that later.
For now, send your nominations. They can be either posted here or pm'd to me.
Also if someone does NOT want to be in this, you can also let me know either in private or here, and I will nullify nominations for you.
Nominations will go up till either December 6th
From there on, the group stage will last around 5 days, and every other round will last around 2 days.
Now here we come for a pre-round. These are people that while they could qualify, they either haven't been too active this year or they're not super well-known. If im wrong about any of these and they have been pretty active and I just missed them, feel free to let me know and I will consider directly putting them in the tournament.
Theres around 40 of them, and 10 will qualify into the big 256 players challenge, that will start tomorrow at around 9pm EST
This is the current list! Please feel free to point out if i made mistakes (skipped someone) or if im including alts (i removed the ones i knew but im not sure) Also if you think i've included someone who hasn't been active AT ALL in 2017 please feel free to let me know, but remember that 2017 was 12 months long, not just 2-3 so even if someone isnt currently active but were active at some point during the year, they still count
