Hey All,
Just dropping by to post the template I created and have used for US 6-9 and EU4-6. Hope it helps future MA hosts. I will paste the bare bones so that way it can be easily accessed and manipulated for your needs.
I will also post various bracket formats I have used and how I went about advertising them.-------------------------------------------------------
BRACKET FORMATS/ADVERTISING
-------------------------------------------------------IF ONLY 8 TEAMS (SINGLE ELIMINATION)- 2 BRACKETS OF 4 TEAMS; WITH TOP 2 ADVANCING FROM EACH BRACKET TO FINALS
IF 13 TEAMS- 1 ALL STAR BRACKET FROM WHICH THE WINNER WILL AUTO ADVANCE TO FINALS. 3 REMAINING BRACKETS WILL BE PLAYED OUT BEST OF 3 SERIES AND THE WINNER FROM EACH BRACKET WILL ADVANCE TO FINALS.
IF 16 TEAMS(SINGLE ELIMINATION)- 4 BRACKETS IN ROUND 1 WITH TOP 2 FROM EACH ADVANCING TO A ROUND 2 GAME IMMEDIATELY AFTER ROUND 1. FROM THE ROUND 2 GAMES TOP 2 FROM EACH BRACKET WILL ADVANCE TO FINALS ON SUNDAY FOR FINALS FORMAT GAME.
FINALS FORMAT: BEST OF 3 OR FIRST TO 2 WINS (Within the 3 games). IF no team wins twice and there is a tie in points THEN game 4/5 will be played immediately; from which the team with highest total points will win/or a team that has won twice in a row.
POINTS: 5 3 2 1
