Just to clarify Pascal...

That ruling does mean that:

0.5VP/round + 0.5VP at a Qualifier Tournament results in Qualification for Australian Qualifier Tournaments? or just for the purposes of Qualifying to the AUSNZ Championship?

These rules only apply to continental qualifiers.

You are free to use whatever rules you want for your National qualifiers.


In France, we've been using the 1GW qualifier rule for a year. Spain has a trickier system. The UK has its Nationals run in Open system. I can't remember exactly how Italy handles their National Championships (there used to be a series of events in Italy ending with the Nationals).

Will a list of all the players that qualified be automatically fed by the submission of the Archons?
Or will a volunteer have to build the list by hand like me and Jeff on the previous years? I volunteered for 2014.

If so, I propose to be mandatory for each organizer post the link to the result page of his Tournament in the TWD post.

Like this:
Event: vekn.net/event-calendar/event/7223

Soon we'll need a Data Warehouse with Business Intelligence reports.

As Jussi said, retrieving players who qualified starting Oct 5th will be rather easy, with the hypothesis that Archons have been submitted and approved.

Estimating how many qualifier shirts will be needed for CCQ will soon become nigh impossible

The average % of players with 1 GW in tournaments of 15+ players is 35% (this stat was calculated over 200+ events, iirc). I suppose that helps a bit.

Finnish examples:
- 9/28 (32.1%) at Finnish Nationals 2012 [ www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/6700 ]
- 15/38 (39.5%) at Finnish Nationals 2013 [ www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/7220 ]
- 24/70 (34.3%) at Ropecon 2012 [ www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/6775 ]
- 26/71 (36.6%) at Ropecon 2013 [ www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/7223 ]


EC events:
- 50/127 (39.4%) at LCQ 2012 [ www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/6908 ]
- 38/121 (31.4%) at FCQ 2012 [ www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/6913 ]

• Dropped: The "25%/33%/50% participants qualify" rule no longer applies.
• Added: "A player with at least 1 Game Win at a Continental Championship Qualifier qualifies."

Is there a concern about players getting a GW in the first round and then dropping? (yay, re-doing seating...) Should players be required to play in all preliminary rounds of the qualifier without dropping/DQ'ing in order to be eligible to qualify?

Hasn't been an issue so far (it would have mattered in "small" tournaments (in which a GW would lead you to the finals, thus awarding you the qualification slot).

It is not required that a partcipant has played in all rounds.
Especially:
- Players who couldn't attend the first round of the tournament, and have played rounds 2 and 3 successfully enough to get a GW will qualify.
- Players who made it to top 5 after preliminary rounds with a GW but drop the finals will still qualify.
- Players disqualified with no prize won't get their qualification at the event.

Just a reminder:
The "Continental Championships" page will need to be updated to reflect the new rules...
..once you are back from Stockholm, and properly rested. B-)

And what about the new Archon?
