CNC Generals

Welcome back to the World Series 2009, Generals! It's been a good years since the last World Series have been announced and initiated. Also this year shall be blessed with this tournament!
I'm very proud to be allowed to announce you the official start of the qualifications on November 1 2009!



What are the World Series?

This is a huge tournament with several rounds held over one month - in this case: December.

What type of tournament are the WS?

It's a 1v1 single elimination tournament by Best Of each rounds. It's starting off by sixteenth-finals. Sixteenth-finals, eighth-finals and quarter-finals will be played Best Of 3. While the semi-finals will be held Best Of 5 and the Finals Best Of 7.
The map pool contains all 1v1 official maps. They are not set so far, but will be published sometime in November.

Up to which date do those rounds need to be played?

Sixteenth-finals - Friday the 4th of December.
Eighth-finals - Tuesday the 8th of December.
Quarter-finals - Friday the 11th of December.
Semi-finals - Tuesday the 15th of December.
Finals - Sunday the 20th of December.

All dates need to be understood as deadline for the specific rounds. So, you basically have got about 4 days to play your opponent!

Where are they gonna be held?

Free choice of lobby.

What are the prizes?

Rewarded places: 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
There are going to be great prizes, but it's not sure which ones, yet. This will be updated as soon as possible!

Am I forced to play with "Random Army"?

No, you are not, but you are allowed to.

How do I register for the WS?

Join the CCG Clanwars League and play for the first 32 ranks in November. Further, a membership of GameReplays.org is required.
Create your account now!

How will these 32 ranks be seeded?

It will go like this:
Rank 1 vs rank 32, rank 2 vs rank 31, rank 3 vs rank 30, etc.

Moreover, this will be seeded one more time over 4 pools.
To clarify see the image below.

Can I have a funname to play with during the WS?

No, to avoid any confusion you need to play with your GR name.

Do I have to use ACETON during the WS? (What is ACETON?)

Yes, you have and there will be no exception tolerated. Post your problem with this program as soon as possible in the Tech Forums or get help on the ACETON-site http://www.aceton-project.de/contact/!

What will happen if the game ends in a disconnect, crash or mismatch?

Get back into the lobby as quickly as possible and arrange that one of the organizers gets the replay the quickest way. It will be then decided, if the game got won or if it needs to be played again.

What do I need to do if the game lags annoying hard?

We appeal here on common sense of any competitor. Don't make it more complicated as it already is: leave the game and try it again.

Do I need to save any replays?

Yes, we really please you to save your played games and to post them in the Replay System. Replay-titles will be renamed, probably.

If I'm not taking part in the WS, how can I track the course?

Therefore, a specific topic will be portalized. So, all replays will be available to download. Moreover, an image of the current standings will be available to be retrieved.

Who are my contact persons in case of any organization problems/questions?

You can either contact -SkaTeR- or Trixx.

Good luck, Generals!

Well done, Hater ! That's 1 of the most fair way to create the brackets imo and also a good way to make November Cw month be very activ !

Have fun everyone.

I'll pronounce this in other forums if you dont see any problems

Certainly not!

After the 1-32 is set, I am going to speculate on who will win each game. Just like the NCAA tournament. I suggest we make a topic about this also when the time comes. It will make for interesting discussion about who will beat who etc...

Fend3r vs Fateat

good text, iam looking forward to a great ws and good games

Im looking forward to rank 32.

I am actually just worried about qualifying! 32nd in an active month is probably about where will be.

If you set up a spreadsheet we could post it and others could also easily speculate on the outcome.

not hard reaching 10 tbh, Just get a few lucky wins vs the top 3 players and u well shoot up a mile with points. Even if u lose allot :L

If you don't manage to get in, we all will be laughing

who are u in the top 10 this month?

What happens if a certain player which made it into the 32 doesnt want to play?

He gets replaced by number 33 and so on

Well done, -HaTeR-. The CCG community without u would be nowhere tbh.

This wasn't me alone. Trixx and john87 have worked on that as well.

Still excellent work all of you. Its what CCG needs.

We appreciate your esteem
