== IMBA CUP II ==

[Koecher]

I'm a bit confused. As far as I remember in Imbacup 1 there were 12 invited Players and the 4 best of the selectional tourney. So this time its 13 invited and the best 3 from selectional?

I somehow dislike this evolution, since there are some really good players in the selectional as far as I could see.

Maybe the system of the World Snooker Championship (just an example, since its happening at the moment ) can be used? The main tourney there is limited to 32players. The Top 16 of the officiall Ladder are set and the best 16 of a qualification tourney will play as well. (But please don't copy the final, as its a best of 35 )

I don't want to say that you should do 1/2 set and 1/2 quali, but maybe something like 10 set and 6 quali?

Just some ideas for the Imba Cup 3 (maybe including the World Snooker Championship Price found? Totaly UK£ 1,112,500 should be get-able, don't you think?)

Well, apologies, the changement from top4 to top3 qualified was took after a mistake from me : I countacted 13 players to ask them confirmation for being in the cup, (i though they were 12, my bad i didn't manage to count well until 12). As they all confirmed, i couldn't withdraw a player, it would have been a too hard decision. )

The initial idea of the Selectional Tournament was to get a tourney without the best players, so it would avoid no-matches, and give a bigger chance to any player to create his own chance of getting in the Imba Cup.
We all remember the surprising performances of Freshy getting Pebble out of the Cup, or CurrySmuggler making a top4 in the previous season.
(There is no player limit for the Selectionals)

Ok Final = Bo35 ! good luck for players and casters

Thx to ZeP, the Selectional Tournament will be hosted in a special Imba Cup chatroom on the FAF Lobby.

Best of 35? That'll take awhile. And don't you think it would be embarrrassing for voodoo to lose to me 18 times in a row?
