I remember ages ago i tried this out unofficially and it went ok....you could have group stages to start off with 4 players in each and then after theyve all played each other go to the knockout stages...top 2 players go through...i know it'll be time consuming but u could have the tables stage one day and the knockout stages the next....wht u think guys??

i think thats an awesome idea

yeah seems a good idea but may involve alot more wrk for admin and mods

well could it be tried?? theres no harm in trying when you guys have the spare time n if it fails to work then dw innit =D

sorry but wtf is this all about like??

LOL you kno like the champions leage?? they have tables first and then knockout stages...like tha!!

Would it happen all at the same time though?

Because tournaments can take up to 2 hours at some point. Or we it say take place over a week with seperate games at seperate times?

i think it should take place over a week .. giving people the chance to play their games

good idea!
too long i think thought!
so should only happen at weekends or in holidays (imo)

i was thinkin having the table stages ova 2 days and then the knockout stages over 2 days wht u fink guys???
