CIC7 ET Seeding Cup Small Changes

After the initial information was posted, a couple community members contacted us about slight details that could be improved.

The matches have been rescheduled to give the teams the chance to build up their performance. That's why we moved the most important matches to the back of the groupstage, while keeping the less important matches at the start.

If a group would have 4 teams A, B, C, D ordered from top seed to low seed, the match schedule looked like this:

• Week 1: AB & CD
  
• Week 2: AC & BD
  
• Week 3: AD & BC

Of course, the AB match is the most important one, because that can influence the winners of the event. That's why we rearranged the matches like this:

• Week 1: AC & BD
  
• Week 2: AD & BC
  
• Week 3: AB & CD[/b]

This way the teams start off with a match they are much likely to win (or lose), while keeping the close matches towards the later weeks.

For groups with 5 teams we have 1 more match each week:

• Week 1: AC & BD & EA
  
• Week 2: AD & BC & EB
  
• Week 3: AB & CD & EC
  
• Week 4: ED

This way each week 1 team has to play 2 matches, except for seed D and E, who have to play on week 4 also.

With this change we also had to change the maps, since the stable maps had to be kept for the last week to suit the AB matches. This is the new maplist per week:

• Week 1: Frostbite & Supply
  
• Week 2: Radar & Braundorf_b4
  
• Week 3: Supply & sw_Goldrush_te[/b]
  
• Week 4: Radar & Frostbite (only for groups with 5 teams)

Make sure you schedule your match (nobody has done so yet) and play before the end of the week!
