Description:
In this cup, the schemes you will be playing depend on your group and the position in the knockouts

4 groups required, no more, no less. This means the cup will start with 12, 16 or 20 players, depending on the interest (3, 4 or 5 players per group, respectively).

Groups stage

Group A plays Elite, best of 1.
Group B plays Roper, best of 1.
Group C plays Hysteria, best of 1.
Group D plays TTRR, best of 3.

Knockouts, round 1

1st rank from Group A and 2nd rank from Group B play Shopper, best of 3.
1st rank from Group C and 2nd rank from Group D play Mine Madness, best of 5.

2nd rank from Group A and 1st rank from Group B play Intermediate, best of 3.
2nd rank from Group C and 1st rank from Group D play Abnormal, best of 5.

Knockouts, round 2

Winners of the Shopper and Mine Madness matches play Aerial, best of 3.
Winners of the Intermediate and Abnormal matches play WxW, best of 3.

Finals

Best of 5 match. Players repeat their group stage schemes. Aerial winner's scheme is played first. In case of draw, the same scheme has to be played again.
If TTRR is played, one round equals a normal best of 1 game (as opposed to the group stage, where it's played bo3, unlike other schemes)
Example: a player from group C won the Aerial semifinal match, a player from group D won the WxW semifinal match. In the final match, they play schemes in the following pattern: Hysteria-TTRR-Hysteria-TTRR-Hysteria.
Of course, it is theoretically possible for both finalists to come from the same group, in such case the final match is simply a single-scheme bo5 game.

Bronze match

Same rules apply, except that WxW winner's scheme is played first.

If the explanation is too confusing, this image should be able to explain everything at the first sight:



Use the up-to-date league schemes and play according to the current rules.

I hope the schemes are diverse enough and properly blended, one needs all-around skills no matter what path they take to reach the final.
Hope this idea catches on

Good luck!
