well as I just commented recently I was probably planning in setting up another event/tournament within the next weeks/month but as I believe that the interest was high and to give proper time to everyone to prepare I think I can just start this now so people can go joining and thinking about it. ok, so basically this would be the plan for the tournament:

as usual that's just a draft and what ultimately ends up happening, if anything, will obviously depend on the turnout/interest therefor it can definitively differ/change over that. so as seen there the idea would basically be to setup a small ffa tournament on April and another small masters follow up cup (from quarters onwards) on May. as usual, not because somebody participates on the ffa phase immediately implies that it's obliged to play the masters cup if he just doesn't want to (or simply can't). moreover, it's not even like it has to happen to begin with, it's just a scheme that I believe that it would be interesting. for the ffa phase as uncontested champion of the recent ffa event if Miroslav would like to participate he will pre-qualify for the final so he won't participate on the qualifying heat rounds and for the duels phase as undefeated super champion he will only take part on a final super final against the tournament champion. for the ffa phase to happen it requires at least 24 players to make three seed/ranked balanced 8 players qualifying heats where the best fourth of each heat will qualify for the grand final. the best eight of those (excluding Miroslav) then will gain a invitation to dispute the masters cup. the heats will be played on q3dm14, 7++, q3dm11, 6++, q3dm8 and the (ffa) grand final on ospdm6, poq3dm5, ospdm1, wdw3team1, phantq3dm3_rev which I believe now those maps should definitively adequate for anybody. the masters cup will be played either on the masters unlagged server (the community one, after I apply a few patches there though) or the classic masters server with artificial lag compensation (i.e. added lag instead of removed) still to determine/agree probably.
ok, so let me know how you see that and feel free to join here and see what we play next
