--> Top 2 finishers of EACH qualifier automatically qualify for the Finals event
--> No minimum attendance requirement to make finals
--> 16 Players invited to the Finals would consist of 8 Qualifying players (Top 2 of each event) and 8 of the next Top finishers based on win pctg who played in at least X events. (Leaning 3?)

So no hard attendance requirement, but if you’re not placing top 2 you’ll have to grind a few events.

I'll have to talk to CP about how Heroscape.org represents rankings in a Season of multiple events...but I believe it's still based on Strength of Schedule rather than win percent. I was likely going to just take the rankings as shown using the Heroscape.org tool because I feel like an 11-4 player would likely rank higher on strength of schedule than a 4-1 player would.

It doesn’t appear that way. If you look at the MCS 22-23 season JS is ranked higher than CP with a 4-1 record (.800 win pctg) and CP is 10-3 (.770). I would rather see the 10-3 person make the cut. Just my opinion though

I definitely prefer having auto bids for at least the 4 winners, if not the 8 finalists also.

I prefer the wildcards be determined purely by # wins (as opposed to win %), as I think it better incentives continuing to compete once you build up a good resume. Also, if you did that, you could remove the # events requirement entirely as it's factored in (more events played = more games won).

My 2 cents.

BIG UPDATE! Thanks to those who provided some great feedback...I think this will provide a much better experience for people overall. YouTube video covering the specifics will follow tonight or early tomorrow with more detail. But here's the jist.

Great updates, definitely more interested! I know I can't make the first event and the prospect of a remote tournament to avoid a 2+ hour drive each way down to LA like I did yesterday is certainly appealing!

That's the spirit!

Definitely excited to see how many we get to by gameday! Hopefully many many more!

Are people finding the sign-up page by having to follow the hs.org link and then the UI? I didn't see any links to there or the tournament builder here so maybe you could get those posted to the OP for extra convenience?

No worries! That’s why there’s 3 other qualifying events!
