Congratulations!
I think the ping thing was something that was unavoidable but I agree with the format for the next tournament.
But I would suggest one thing...
The ticket count should be at 150 and we should do 3 rounds and the best score over the first two round will determin the final round choice...like if the pols win over us by 50 and then the us team wins by 30 then the pols would get server choice for the continental thing and if we are on the same continent then you get army choice....that way it limits just a better strat or a bad round start and you can then adjust for tactics and the best team will show forth.
I had a great time and for the most part every team was well mannered and played with much class, and I think the best team won, but Pols we are comming for you next time.
Dutch I would love to help set up the next event if you need any help I can be your North American liason.
I have a ton of tournament experience and 5v5 twl and cal expirence so I know the format well, let me know.
