| So I have had this idea for awhile but havent quite had it flushed out. Basically it would be like March madness but with WCS.
My plan would be to start it after this season and start fresh on season 2. Im not quite sure how to do it without making it to complicated. But since the tournament structure is more complicated then the NCAA tournament it might be inevitable.
What I hope to accomplish is to give people something to talk about, give them another reason to go on the forums, bring the community together and support esports.
The basics that I have slightly planned out are
1. Have winners for AM EU KR and Finals each of the little seasons and then one big winner overall. Maybe award a medal or something to them and give to rep points out.
2. Id like to do all the leagues but maybe keep it to Premier so people dont get overwhelmed
3.Have a forum or forum post decatied to it with rankings past winners etc.
Let me know what you think and please answer the poll with how you really feel. It wont hurt my feelings I just wouldnt want to spend time trying to figure this out and have no one end up doing it.

| I feel like I have missed the main point, im not a basketball fan and from what I can read in your post it looks like you want to run your own tournament? lol

| I guess that was a slight oversight. Basically March Madness is a college basketball tournament 64 teams that play best ones until there is a winner. Before the tournament starts every year people fill out the bracket with who they think its going to win for every game. Every time you guess correctly you get points and the deeper into the tournament your picks go he more points you get.
Basically it would be like the predictions for groups you have forum posts about except for the whole tournament.
Whoever gets the most points with there picks wins the "March Madness" for the WCS
So its not actually a tournament, its predicting the winners of WCS
Hopefully this makes things clearer

| Ah gotcha, TeamLiquid has been doing this since Brood War called "Liquibet".
It would be cool to have one just for our clan, tho it would be alot of work unless someone could automate it on a website.

| I was going to say that but I don't know to much about liquibet so i didnt want to confuse people making a comparison that wasn't actually true.
And from what I have heard from people who were watching broodwar way before me was that now theres no real reason for participating because the forum icons for winning and things like that were gone.
It might be a lot of work but if a lot of the clan participates I think it will be fun enough to be worth it.
