Hello everyone. The results of the survey on the UU summer team tour are in, and by a landslide UUWC won the vote. Results from the survey are down below. To ease out any issues before the tour, a format discussion thread is open to discuss some topics. There will be no survey, but rather discussion in this thread will be used to help the hosts make an informed decision. Note that this tournament will have all current gen slots. This is not negotiable.
Our first topic is teams. Last edition, which was 2 years ago, we had the following teams:
With some time since the last tour, we ask a few questions. First, are there any regions that can be made into a team that are not included on the list? Additionally, are there any ideas for merges? For the latter, a topic of UK merging with Europe has been brought up and we’re curious to see other merges as well as if there is support from representatives of these regions. We’d like to bring back most of these regions if possible, and having an idea of team numbers can help with the below point.
Our second topic is tournament structure. Last time, we had qualifiers with the two new teams + the bottom ranked teams from last year into a pools stage, but with tournament structure being completely different featuring all current gen as well as players coming and leaving across two years, it wouldn’t be fair to use past records for qualifiers, thus setting the stage even. Another topic is the actual regular season stage. Pools and weeks are both possible ideas and we’re curious to know how the community envisions the structure of the tournament.
Please share any thoughts, proposals, or ideas you have for UUWC and keep this discussion thread civil. Thanks!
