Make a sticky saying what 8chan Championship actually is, so when people find your board they can find out.
Just ended up here, literally no clue. It seems like you're planning to have some kind of inter-board vg contest? But people are posting teams made of fictional characters?

I get that it's basically a basketball version of the 4chan Cup, but it would be a lot easier to plan if we all knew exactly what has to be done before entering.
No.1411
I just fully realized this. With the 225-thread-per-catalog limit this site seems to have, we could literally have 100 teams.
No.1485
>>1411We'll need some tier of qualifiers like the one FA Cup uses.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011%E2%80%9312_FA_Cup_qualifying_roundsHowever, the format will be dependent on how many teams actually register.
I can come up with a suitable system for that, but first we'll have to agree on how many teams should be in the tournament proper. 16? 24? 32?
No.1489
No.1491
Seeing that this will be the inaugural 8CC, we'll probably have to set different rules depending on how many teams register. If too few teams register there won't be any qualifiers; if too many teams register all will have to go through qualifiers.
I'm not sure having 100 teams in the tournament proper is a good idea. Besides, with the archives we can have more teams than can fit in the catalog. Having the other boards allow one sticky thread for 8CC per board might work too.
But, well:
Round 1 (100 teams): 20 groups of 5; top 2 advance
Round 2 (40 teams): 1 knockout round
Round 3 (20 teams): 4 groups of 5; top 2 advance
Round 4+ (8 teams): Knockout stages all the way
If things go well enough, we might even be able to expand this beyond 8CC. I'm thinking of having an interchan competition some time in the future.
Finally, double elimination a shit.
No.1492
No.1499
I've added some suggestions for seeding as well. A host not being among the top seeds is just plain silly.
1. The defending champion and host will be the top 2 seeds, where possible, with the defending champion being of a higher seed than the host. If there is only one team (eg. the defending champion is also the host), only the first seed will be set. If neither is participating, there will be no changes made to the seeding.
2. The first seed is to be drawn into the first group.
3. Seeding is not recommended to be implemented for an inaugural tournament. It is highly recommended for the tournament to be set up such that all teams involved will have a fair chance. Nevertheless, it is recommended for the host to be in the first group playing the opening match, where possible.

Artist is shindoL not sure if this is a single image or part of a series
No.1775
OP pic is just a single pic. It's just a poster or whatever of the character Ranma Soatome, from the Ranma 1/2 series. The artwork in the poser actually looks different from the artwork in the series.
Anyway, Ranma Soatome is basically a magic tranny. He's naturally a man, but he has the power to turn into a woman. Obviously, the depiction in the OP is Ranma's female form. In the series, his female form is considered better looking than other natural women. There's at least one female character in the series that is extremely jealous of Ranma's looks when he is female.

Very few players need anything extraordinary.

No.2518
>>2516You can't export/import teams without a russian scam app right now I believe.
As for team logos, you pretty much are required to use the NBA teams themselves, which is a limiting factor for teams, capping us at the max NBA teams:
