So with this ...

2. These are the three sections - 

Section A - Groups w/members less than 300, 750 team match points, or 15% team match win. 

Section B - Groups w/members from 300-600, 2000+ team match points, or 20% team match win. 

Section C - Groups w/members from 600-1000, 5500+ team match points, or 30% team match win. 

You can ask us if you want us to let your group be in a section based on their member count, team match points, or team match percentage.

Teams can choose which section?  Say they have 400 members but a 85% match win they can go in section C? Or they can choose to stay in section B?

yes that is correct.

OK so have you decided whether its going to just be 1 match or separated into rating brackets? How many minimum players per match?

Avatar of CalbaMan

It will be one match, and the players per match limit will be assigned to you. 

Avatar of blackfirestorm

No I don't mean a max number of players I mean a minimum? like most comps have a 5 player match min

Avatar of CalbaMan

Yes, we have a five-player match minimum. I'm pretty sure I mentioned that in the requirements or regulations..

Do you have enough teams?

Avatar of Pawnpusher3
They have like 12/13 around there

Oh you just said "They have like 12/13 around there"

So if you are aiming for 8 in each grouping then you will need 24 teams

Avatar of Pawnpusher3
No, 8 or 16 in total would be nice
