I did it on last tourney, for top 2 players, others had only few games played (Top 1 go group A and top 2 group B).

Hmm ok, I guess it's a little different for round robbin but it doesn't matter anyway much with that setup.

Maps look Ok but I'm not sure about Valley of Unrest V3. I guess it's not a terrible map and it offers some different gameplay but it's not the most interesting of maps to spec games on. If you're 100% sure you want to have it in the tourney, I'd say don't use it in the finals.

I like the different gameplay that map offers, especially for the final, anyway finalist can play other map if they both agree

I though of map Downcount_V1 for another gameplay too but didnt manage to make it work

"did not work" as in "there was a bug" or as in "nobody wanted to play"? If bug, what was wrong?

lol purple names.

Nothing important, i tried it fast, it didnt work with !preset duel

Now, you have some data, I guess it is time to evaluate the number of players you get according to the day you propose to play the tourney.

(Cause I think Sunday brings more people)

I thought of that, i will probably ask people for it. I dont know if we can make that here. Like people voting for saturday or sunday.
