2) Will we see possible RP prompts (or events that may or may not affect the matches!) over the course of this CoH?
3) What do you mean 'generous' in this case? Everybody knows what the rough idea of 'generous and cumulative RP bonus' is but it's been said the same on 50 times without exactly clarifying anything. Can you give us a bit clearer idea of this?

Highest-ranked side in Pot 1 (Turori): 51.08
Lowest-ranked side in Pot 1 (Zwangzug): 32.57
Highest-ranked side in Pot 8 (Darkmania): 6.57
Lowest-ranked side in Pot 8(Reçueçn): 3.79
Minimum rankings gap between Pot 1 and Pot 8: 26.00. 26/4 = 6.5; 26/5 = 5.2

Ceni wrote:As an additional aside (not wanting to turn this bid thread into a debate on the community norms surrounding this, and certainly not wanting to imply that I speak for Delaclava on the following), I do wish that we could discuss our intended bonuses in a more open manner without having to skulk around with vague terminology that means different things to different people. I believe this was the premise of Quebec's question, and I think we were reluctant to name a specific figure in part because of community norms against the revelation of specific RP bonus scaling (and also because, as I mentioned before, we have not settled on a firm value yet, and merely wished to give a more specific idea that gave a closer quantification of "generous").

There will be eight groups of either four or five teams, for a total of 32 or 40 teams.

Legalese wrote:Even if we agree that posting a single RP does not grant you the right to a CoH bid, that's still a pretty significant winnowing, especially as one recurring issue that comes up all of the time is the RP arms race and "quality vs. quantity" -- noting that the stats given for the typical WCC competition puts most RPs closer to the full bonus available than not. All to say that this is (IMO) leading to a much larger field being left out of the CoH than I would typically think would be wise...
Legalese wrote:Can you give us a bit more insight into your thinking about all of this, and why the decision to narrow downward, in terms of entries?
Ceni wrote:For instance, if we had 44 nations that we absolutely wanted to have in the tournament, we would likely head up to 48 to be more inclusive; if we only had 36 nations in that case, we would probably not try and fill the full 48. But again, this is dependent on how the remaining qualifying MDs play out.
