I have everyone's squads and map choices. Still time for people to join as the deadline is midnight tonight to sign up and submit your squad and map for round 1. As it is now, we have 12 players, which is great!
We will (currently) be dividing the players in divisions of 6 each. Top 3 players of each division will proceed to playoffs.
Here is how First round of playoffs will proceed:
Top players of each division get the Bye for first round of playoffs.
2nd place in Outer Rime will face off against 3rd place Core Worlds
2nd Place Core Worlds will face off against 3rd place Outer Rim.
Winners of each 1st round games of playoffs, go to semifinals.
Semifinals will be like this:
Winners of each division will be ordered as 1st or 2nd overall based on record. If tied, it'll be based on overall points scored in the tournament. Winners of 1 round of playoff games will be ordered in a similar manner for 3rd and 4th place. Once 1st thru 4th order is determined games will proceed as follows. 1st place will go against 4th, 2nd will go against 3rd. Winners of each will proceed to the Final matchup to determine the Galactic Escalation Fall 2024 Champion!
I have the divisions looking like this currently:
Outer Rim Division
DarthMaim
Mando
Overley28
spryguy1981
N3rdSl4y3r
thereisnotry
Core Worlds Division

Just confirming, is the plan still to have 1 game in rounds 1-3, and 2 games in rnd 4, then 2 rounds of playoffs for the top 4?

It sounds like there will be three rounds of playoffs, as the top 3 if each division will advance.

Is our round 4 preferred map selection, our last map selection in the tournament? ( including rnd 5, and the 3 rounds of the playoffs ( if you make it that far, of course  )

Map choice for round 4 is what is used in playoffs

Just curious, what is the order of tiebreak criteria, when determining who advances to the playoffs and the 1-3 order in each division, if players are tied on points?

Probably strength of schedule but you’ll have to ask mando for confirmation

Tie breaker for final standings is who won the head to head matchup in the first 4 rounds since everyone has faced each other at least 1 time.
