whsvin To win the tournament, players will continue to be eliminated each season until only three remain. These final three will face each other in a final season, and the player who finishes 1st in the group standings will be declared the overall tournament winner.
For group placement, I use snake seeding (also known as the serpentine system) based on total accumulated points. For example, the top 1-8 players are seeded at the top of the groups, then players ranked 9-16 are placed second in each group, and so on. As we progress through the seasons, there will be fewer groups each time, and sometimes groups might need to be smaller, such as 5-player groups, depending on the player count. I’ve also concentrated the time between the 1st and last batch to 3 weeks, as suggested by ‘wolvs,’ to help make the tournament more efficient.
Although I haven’t finalized the exact plan for the tournament’s conclusion, one possibility is when we reach 9 players, I’ll run a final two-round tournament. This could involve 3 groups of 3 players in the semi-finals, with the winners of each group advancing to the finals to compete for the championship.
