The 32 firsts will be qualified for the playoffs phase, good luck to everyone !

The cup

The system of this new tournament is nearly the same as the PP.R CUP one, but playoffs will be played in cup mode ! A novelty for the Fullspeed scene.

• Two weeks of Time Attack on 3 maps.
• The 32 firsts will be qualified for playoffs.

Registrations are already closed: little players are registered for that cup, simply because of PP.R CUP, which is running up. But among these players, we can see some well known names of the Fullspeed scene, which will give us anyway an interesting tournament. Here is the list of registered:

•  Night
•  Flux
•  DonTomato
•  Volkova
•  BassH
•  Alpine
•  Chrischi^Pika
•  Future
•  Hunter
•  RoadRunner
•  Smart
•  Time
•  Wingthor
•  Puzzle
•  Cidnet
•  iZZi
•  Fleshreaper
•  Myst
•  Ludo
•  Solo
•  Tomtom
•  Waaam
•  Hellboy
•  Nimfe
•  Linares
•  Szpariii
•  Dream
•  El Pugna
•  M4rijn
•  Mukko
•  Spirit
•  Psychovic
•  Woki
•  Zero
•  El Nino
•  Leslaw
•  Steryd
•  M.Maki.C
•  Chelsea Smile
•  NBZ
•  Pjwasz

The 32 firsts will be qualified for playoffs, divided in two leagues: the top 16 in L1, and the rest, in L2.

The playoffs tree will be compound by a Winner bracket, and a Looser bracket.

The maps of the Time Attack phase should be exclusive, but not to overload players who will be in playoffs, the maps of final phase will be the same as maps of PP.R CUP.

Playoffs matchs will be played Saturday evening, or Sunday evening: the 4 players will have to arrange them (not easy with PP.R CUP ...).

Start of the TA phase: Monday 4th April.

What can we think about that ?

ESL cups, Clanbase cups, independents cups... The Fullspeed community is getting more and more competitive. But calendar restrictions of some leagues will force the community to organize them about dates !

We can't reproach to all these people to organize competitions, but be careful to not become "too much"...
