Many quality teams, these qualifiers look really promising, can’t wait !
out of the 12 teams will only 2 advance to prem?
4 will advance. “This means there are four open spots in the Premiership.”
hype
If the Challonge page for the double elimination looks confusing due to first round not having lower bracket, here’s an image to show when does the double elimination stage itself start. Can keep it up to date if wanted.

Ora Elektro to slam!!!!
Nice, 12 teams in playoffs yet again. Don’t know how many times this needs to happen before admins realise that having this many teams and this many games screws teams over and forces teams to play with mercy or not at all.
You could easily narrow this list down to 6 or 7 (still too much imo but understandable) and it would avoid all this mess. Yes I’m annoyed because it’s directly affecting my team but I complain about this every season. We cannot play every day with our roster and I’m sure there are plenty of the 12 teams in a similar position.
Just need the admins to put some high teams in high and deal with the shit they get from it. Thus is ridiculous now.
Just my opinion.
@Permzilla
We ask the teams to have the days free for the preseason playoffs as the scheduling is always an uncertainty without proper details of which teams are participating. The teams on the list aren’t all the signups, the teams without proper reasoning/results were already cut out. Teams that sent in explanation emails/scrim results or teams with good scrim results are all on the list.
In the case we want less days then we instantly have to remove 4 teams which mainly consist of teams that dont have a lot of scrim results that are still high pontential teams for the prem positions like your own team.
I agree with Perm in that, quite clearly, some of these teams are definitely not Premiership. Seems really pointless having this many teams in playoffs when a good number of them are quite clearly don’t have a chance.
Not to sound like a dick but surely even these teams agree?
Why does everyone want to play prem? It doesn’t seems fun
We could also make the bracket harsher though. I’ll look into it more tonight and see what’s the best option.
as a player on one of the worse qualifiers teams, I agree that this is pretty silly
I agree with perm, we should remove Beached Whales and put them in high. There is already enough washed up in these playoffs.
We’re not changing the bracket or amount of teams. I did end up adding a clarification for the scheduling ranges. In the case there are any issues with the scheduling feel free to contact an admin and we’ll look at helping you out.
My guess as to why there are so many teams in this playoff is because they all applied for prem and had recent results that prove that they could manage to beat two or three of the other teams.
With this many spots in prem I imagine that the two options are to either have a huge playoff like this or seed it from the previous season, in either case washed up players who aren’t as keen and involved in the scene lose out.
this shit didn’t happen with the old div system…
9/12 teams are new and or project teams. Even with the old division system this wouldn’t have worked.
Why does it matter if the admins take precautions lmao. How many times have there been surprises and upsets in the prem pre-season playoffs? How many teams would’ve gone to the wrong divs if admins didn’t follow these systems? Get your heads out of your asses and stop giving so much importance to what amounts to basically a couple of “forced scrim” games. If your idea of teams that deserve to be in Prem is right then there is nothing to worry about.
Now what we can do is make bets over which teams are likely to drop if they go high. Any takers?
