Forum:Call of Duty Wiki World Cup of CoD

I've been thinking about any more tournaments our glorious Wiki could do, and something struck my mind: an all-out, highly structured CoD Wiki World Cup of CoD. It would include two phases, namely qualifying and the final tournament. Four regions in the world would have their set number of representatives in the final tournament, and the representatives I had in mind would be a four-player team. The game mode would be Team Deathmatch. It is difficult to explain without somebody knowing my proposed format, so here goes:

Canada and USA - Three Representatives at final stage
Since most of the players are from the US or Canada, I have decided to create a specific region just for them. There will be a maximum of eight teams (32 players) entering qualification for each console. These eight teams would battle it out in two groups of four teams each in a round-robin style (each team plays each other team in their group once). The top two of their respective groups then join up in a knockout that would consist of the four teams. The two winners automatically qualify for the final stage, while the two loosers battle it out, and the winner of that match also goes on to the final stage. Breakdown:

Group A of four teams -> Each team plays each other once -> Top two teams go on to knockout

Group B of four teams -> Each team plays each other once -> Top two teams go on to knockout

Knockout -> Semi-Finals and match for third place, no finals needed since the two winners automatically qualify.

Europe - Two Representatives at final stage
Depending on the amount of teams, it will be either same as the above format or same as the below format. Less than or equal to seven teams would result in the below format, more than seven in the above

Central and South America - Two Representatives at final stage
Since there will be way less teams, this qualifying will be much simpler, it will consist of only one group of all the participating teams, whether it be three, five or seven. Each team plays each other once, top two teams go on to the final stage.

Africa, Asia and Australia - One Representative at final stage
Africa, Asia and Australia will have a maximum of four teams who battle it out in a knockout fashion. Winner of this knockout progresses to the finals.

Final tournament - Eight teams (32 players)
This will be a lot simpler than the qualifying process. It is a simple knockout with eight teams, meaning the first game would be the quarter final. Each team would play three games in this final stage.

I am fully aware of how complicated this process is and also of how long the tournament will take (about a week), but I am willing to take up the responsibility of doing it. Obviously the teams and number of representatives will change depending on the amount of players signed up, but looking at Elmo's tournament, I think I gave realistic numbers. This tournament will take place around September. Please, please, please ask questions and give me good feddback. I know for a fact that most of the above is extremely confusing. 06:16, June 3, 2012 (UTC)
