I have work out the Amateur bracket because it is a way to give also the not so strong players more matches then only the games in the first round (remember the most player had a long trip just to come to this event).
The only problem is how to seed the 2nd Groupstage. Maybe for Pro Mode (World Championship) you could draw again from 5 pots right after the darw for 1st round (1st in a pot, 2nd in a pot, 3rd in a pot ...) or seed for example Group A (1st Gr A, 2nd Gr B, 3rd Gr C, 4th Gr D, 5th Gr E) but for that we have to work it out, but i think it shouldn t be a problem if you invested an hour.
What do you think about this mode?

apart from that we will need 8 computers - 8 PCs and 8 Amigas, and 8 tables/spaces for the groups, which if i remember correctly is a no-go (well, don t know, maybe that has changed, but i remember Playaveli saying so, correct me if i m wrong).
the thrill of being eliminated after a group stage is a main factor for me. as soon as the group has at least 9 participants, which means at least 16 games - that s definitely worth to go in my opinion. although i have to admit i wouldn t like to play less than that, so hopefully minimum of 9 players per group will be mantained.
the main thing for me is to get ideally 50%, (or to get as close as possible to that) of players qualifying for a second stage - whether a seeded knock-out, or a second chance group i don t care.
with 50 participants logical solution is 24 players qualified, as we approaching 60 players - number 32 seems to be right.
second round of 50 players is the f*** up, as is a tournaments for loosers in my opinion. for me it s a big NO to both of these ideas
having said that, i definitely go to Pirmasens whatever the format
EDIT: that will do for me -
if we re playing 5 groups, top six qualify, that gives us 30 so we need two extra players. it can be done by:
- giving two best players a wild card to another round, with remaining 28 playing ko for 14 spots, so it s down to sixteen then
- making a playoff group of 5 players from 7th places in a group for remaining two spots.
looks for me like the first idea may be bit controversial when t comes to assigning a wildcards, the second one more time consuming
if we have 6 groups, top five qualify, that gives us 30 players, and it s the same story from there

I only say 1x against each other in 2nd round is beacause of the time factor and on the other hand this is a thrill like a K.O. stage (but with a few more chancesbecause we absolutely have no idea, how is the home/away advantage/disadvantage calculated in SWOS, we cannot play one game against each other at any stage. that s why even finals of the competition are played in two legs.
) so you are forced to win nearly all games in group with only 1 game to be 1st or 2nd in group. I don t think it is really a home/away advantage for some players, only if they have their supporters but then they have this advantage on booth matches.Ok that could be a problem, but can we make it with 6 Groups (I can try bring my Amiga 1200 also with me if needed)? Is it for sure that we play with Diy league?apart from that we will need 8 computers - 8 PCs and 8 Amigas, and 8 tables/spaces for the groups, which if i remember correctly is a no-go (well, don t know, maybe that has changed, but i remember Playaveli saying so, correct me if i m wrong).
I have made the 2nd groupstage to give more matches for all players and it is also a chance to have more miscellaneous players to play (which is also nice for me).the thrill of being eliminated after a group stage is a main factor for me. as soon as the group has at least 9 participants, which means at least 16 games - that s definitely worth to go in my opinion. although i have to admit i wouldn t like to play less than that, so hopefully minimum of 9 players per group will be mantained.

The Amateur bracket is a single tournament for all players that are on the last places in 1st round and normaly have absolutly no chance to win anything and that tree we shouldn t take to important, it is only for the amateur players to have their own thrill (why souldn t they also have a chance to have those thrilling matches on an lower level?).
Did you know something? I am coming, too. Don t matter what mode we play
