First thing's first: Before doing anything else, please fill out this google form:
here's a map of us regions
*Note: we are still looking for hosts so if you have ample hosting experience please don't hesitate to reach out.
Firstly, the tiers. With NDAG leaving and SS NDOU and SV NDUBERs entering the mix, the lineup will be a bit different from last time, so we're open to suggestions on how we should organize it this time around. As a baseline, We are going to put a hard minimum to 3 NatDex OU. Ideally, we are going to have 8 slots per team this year, but that is also open to discussion. Here is what we had last year:
Format is still open to suggestions but one goal I do agree we should do is make the format unique from PL. Doesn't make sense two different tours just harbor the same format, but of course alternatives aren't that big so far. so we'd love to hear feedback and suggestions on this format.
Now that we've gone over the tiers, we'd like to address the format of the tournament itself. Last year, we used a two-sided format with mini round robins in each side. There has not been much discussion on changing this and barely had any support last WC so this won't be the main focus of this thread, however if it does become popular it can be fielded here. Any and all discussions regarding the execution of WC can go here.
