Camelot Team17 cup

I want to see enough players here who want to fight.

And I will wait

Okay, I'm in, but what is a cup? This site doesn't even explain it, it assumes you already know what a cup is. What's the difference between a tournament and a cup?

There are pretty much the same except that a cup is consist of group stage and knockout stage. A tournament is only the knockout stage. TUS started with cups which allowed members to play their games on whatever date/time they agreed on. (within the deadline date of course)

Tournaments got added later to be like Worm Olympics tournaments. That is when every player in #AG is ready to go so there won't be any need to arrange date/time for their games. That was the initial idea and it worked for some time. But after that when the inactivity of players increased,  some moderators allowed their players to arrange time/date for their tournament games.

It seemed to me that only a lazy or a complete beginner does not know the difference between a cup and a tournament. Deadcode question surprised me lol

Speaking specifically about this cup, i will say more - in the coming months, I will not limit the games in groups by time.
So I will expect the players to be as punctual as possible regarding their matches in groups. and then to the playoffs

He's right thought. The Cups help page isn't clear for newcomers. When I coded the cups, members were used to forum-based cups  that is posting cup results via cup thread on forums.

If you look in more detail, the TUS site as a whole is not understandable for beginners.
I can't speak for the English-speaking audience of players, but here, the Russian-speaking audience, when faced with the TUS site, asks a lot of questions.

I think a video tour of the TUS site could solve a lot of issues. Maybe I can do this if I figure it out myself

Sorry, but I changed my mind about participating. I won't play Worms now until the fall. Up to CWT

where to find logic in your words when you write that you will not play until autumn, but register for the cup

And yes, I almost forgot, you owe me one tus hysteria game

Looks like this could be a highly competitive finale! I'd like to stream the Playoffs from the Quarters onwards.

This is really cool, I hope it will.

btw the cup will start when there are 16 players

Pairs ready. hf gl. glory and honor

Keep in mind that this is not a league scheme.

I still don't understand how a TUS cup works. It's not explained anywhere on TUS, so how does anyone know?

Is there a limit to how many games I'm supposed to play with each opponent in my group? TUS doesn't seem to enforce any. It let Syc and me report our games individually without giving us any complaint, but apparently it's not supposed to be done that way? Lancelot deleted them and asked me to re-upload, which I did. Which does make sense in retrospect, because this is a Bo3 cup. But why did the system let us upload as 3 separate matches then?

And where/when are we supposed to organize to set up these games? Some of those people I can communicate with on Discord, but others I have no idea how to contact besides sending them PMs on TUS.

How long does this stage last? How many stages are there? And what do the two numbers separated by a "/" in the "Won" column mean? It's all a mystery, and TUS doesn't explain it anywhere, except in a very haphazard, piecemeal way.

For all my time that I create cup competitions, I have created them following the example of other cups.
And I'm learning from other moderators.
Not always successful, sometimes making mistakes, but learning from them.

I can't say anything about the innovations, because I don't know what they are for.

What are the two numbers in the "won" column? Is it number of players beat followed by the number of games won?
