To recap, key points for the Classic:
SCORINATION SYSTEM: Miscellanator and the most recent rankings will be used, as well as an RP bonus will be used (on an average of 0-3)
RP BONUS: Non-cumulative bonus, with an emphasis on creativity and effort over quantity.
Group Format:
10 groups of six teams in each group will be used, with the top two in each group advancing to Lycrabon.
Playoff format:
- All playoff games will be played in Lycrabon, in two stadium groups (e.g. Riverside Stadium in St. Catherine and Davis Stadium in Charlestown for a series).
- 20 teams will advance into the Knockout rounds. The teams will be seeded based upon group finish (meaning group winners will be seeded higher than any 2nd placed teams) and the tie-breakers. Play-in Round winners will be reseeded only for the round of 16. Playoffs will be best 2-of-3 for the all rounds before the semifinals. The Semifinals and 3rd place series will each be best 3-of-5; with the Championship being a best 4-of-7.
- LCAA (Lycrabon college) umpires will be used for all playoff rounds, with that information to be given at that point.
