You probably should have made it a 1800+ tournament, just to make sure the candidate has a chance.

hey guys, i will be making a WC cycle, here's how it works, first i will have a seires of regonal tournaments e.g. middle east, then the top three of each of those regonal tournies will go to their continental qualifiers and then the winners will go to a play off to challang the current WC in a 12 round match. the winner will get the title CCM(chess.com master)

You're really over-thinking what should be just a simple and fun process.

Anyone trying to imply anyone under 1800 has no chance against me? :)

Low blow. I guess you're right about my chances though, but you can never be too sure; Miha might get hit by a train :p
