BTW, To make the poules fair i will add this to the rules soon:
I need at least 16teams to fill all (4) poules. Every team that will be joining after i got 16teams, will be reserve because i can't make fair poules with 17 or 18 teams. This will be unless i got 20 teams, in that case i can make fair poules (4 poules with 5 teams). Every team after 20 will be reserve in that case, until 24, 28, 32 and so on. At the moment i got 15 teams; so if you want to join, do it quick so you are sure that you are not in the reserve list.

I think we can get 20 teams if we match some singles together, also it'd be my suggestion to have a best of 3 in the knockout (not hard to play 3 times consecutively) to remove excess luck like the league (poules you call them?) system puts in effect.

Hey, I actually want to team up with Aristosseur and I've talked to him about the prospect. Would him being in two teams at once *ahem* he's going to win anyway be against the rules of the tournament?

If our matches can be scheduled for weekends, a Garde-NCM team is easily done.

@ Aristo: Would be nice if we got 20 teams. I will make 5teams per poule/league/group then.
@ YOBA: Joining the tournament more times is not allowed. There is a chance a player needs to play against his other team, that can't be done. With that, it's also not fair; everyone needs to have the same chance of winning. So, be quick and find yourself a other teammate. There are still some 'single' players out there willing to join.

Poule is a French word for group i think. It's also used in the netherlands when groupes (poules) are made for the world cup, or other sports groupsfase. I also have seen it has been used on english sites, that's why i thought that it was also commonly used in English. But, if you both and others don't know the word; i will use 'groups' from now on .

Ah, I see. Cheers. The English equivalent is pool, I think.

Your team is added as the 16th team in the tournament and will be the on the first place to draw. Good luck.
Note to other players: All other teams that will sign in from this moment will be signed in as reserves. That's unless i got 4 reserve teams (20 teams in total), then it will also let them in.

Konstantin and kasap have been added to the tournament (with your 'shortname') as the first reserve team. If we get 20teams in total before 21September, i will draw you in one of the current pots (currently you will be placed in pot2 if we get 20 teams). If we don't get 20 teams, we will start the tournament without your team in it. But, if there is one team that fails to show up in the first round, you will pick it's place. So, i think you are almost sure to play in this tournament.
@ncm; I know there are still a view players looking for a teammate; try to find someone in game .

I think "Pot" and "Group" are pretty OK and international words, and everyone can understand it.
I would just "drawing" call "seeding" like in sports.
EDIT: what you think of opening separate topic for every group (A,B,C,D), when tournament starts? That way it would be easier to track results and games.

IMPORTANT: Today is the last day to signup for the tournament!
@Caulerpa: Looks like a good idea to me. I also need a topic for the finals then. If the mods are ok with opening 5 topics about 1 tournament, then i will do that.

Knockout round can go to this topic, and group topics don't have to be sticky because they will anyway be on top of topics list.

I can't create sticky topic :). I think one of the mods has done that .

I like those pots, they are fair (are they definite?). Also what will happen in the knockout phase? I support best of 3 to remove all the luck that a bad roll on Berlin, a sudden disconnect for a crucial round etc can bring.
Edit: I am no sports fan and I confused (I think) the pools/pots where you draw people from to create the groups

I also think the pots will result in fair groups and matches. Some teams are somewhat better then the pot there are in (and some teams can be moved to lower potitions in my opinion), but i think the big picture looks ok. The pots are definite, unless i get 3more teams that will signup today. If i get them; i will create a fifth pot and some teams can be moved to another pot then.
I'm still not sure about the knockout phase and best of 3. On one side it's fair against disconnections, but on the other side: What if i have a suprising strategy that makes me win in the first battle against all odds? Then i need to play 2games more and my enemy can change their strategy to not be suprised again. Also, if the enemy makes a 'luck' move to take on Berlin and loses that battle, then he took the risk for it. That's all in the game
I think i will stay with the 1game knockout. But if there are more players that think otherwise, let me know!

Although i don't understand what your muting has to do with this tournament (that is player created), i deleted your team in the pot. @Barrymore: If you can find another teammate; you are the second in the reserve list.
Because The Albanian Mothers left; YDWHYLBSWKYP is added to the tournament and will start in Pot2. Semper Fudge is moved from Pot2 to Pot1. Pot3 and 4 are unchanged.
Also we got another reserve team: "Whatever" has joined as the first reserve team.
