Post predictions and chat here for the crown of sand.

CoS qualifiers


Everyone that wants to applies a B team.


At 22:00 Wed 16th we rank the races by number of teams of that race applied.

We then allocate each race 1-8 to a qualifier. and races 9-16 also but in reverse, then 17-24 the orginal way.

So we get:

Qualifier 1: Race1, Race16 and Race17
Qualifier 2: Race2, Race15 and Race18
qualifier 3: Race3, Race14 and Race19
Qualifier 4: Race4, Race13 and Race20
Qualifier 5: Race5, Race12 and Race21
Qualifier 6: Race6, Race11 and Race22
Qualifier 7: Race7, Race10 and Race23
Qualifier 8: Race8, Race9 and Race24


Each qualifier has a maximum of 16 places. First the top 5 teams (by TV) from the lead (1-8.) race are allowed in. then the top 3 teams from the secondary race (9-16) are allowed in. And then 2 teams from the last race (17-24) are allowed in. Any remaining places are filled by the other applicants from all three races from highest to lowest, by TV. until we have 16 teams or run out of applicants.

So those 8 qualifiers produce 8 different teams from different races to compete in the final.

Someone will enter a team of one of the most popular races, miss out on a place, see filler teams in other qualifiers and throw their toys out of the pram.

Thats the CoS(t).

To aid clarity for all, from here:
http://fumbbl.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=22923


And inviting you to do the traditional pre CoS game of 'which will be the top 8 races?'

Without checking the pages i'll go for:
Chaos
Nurgle
CD
Dwarf
Orc
Chaos Pact
Dark Elves
Skaven

Seems to be a few Wood Elves and Necros kicking about these days, might put them in ahead of Skaven myself.

But my main prediction is that some annoying guy will point out the only eligible spelling error on the main COS page.

At least you get to play against one of the worst woody coaches ever in round 1! Very Happy
(If you want to dodge the dwarves, you could of course lose against that coach...)

oh man.. Nurgle and Chaos ended up in the same qualifier? Where the heck are all the Chaos teams? They were supposed to be in the top 3! This is going to be brutal, and there won't be much cpomb left for everyone else to worry about!

Although I gotta say.. Amazons and Underworld got truly shafted today.
