OK...then host should contact KK about poll

team Romania did the right thing by submitting their approval to their captain
Should we ask only captains?

I just email the 2 Format, the original and the the update of today to:

yiannakos, KumaraKid, chwaqasahmed, paradox (Iran), itisme and lilwarrior.
and give them the link to the forum here.

I suggest to yiannakos: ''ask KumaraKid to post the 2 Format''

Message to yiannakos: Do not forget the principal rule, '' The Host of a Tournament is the big boss and any final decision you make the participants have to accept it. You can do what you feel to do, make the decision by yourself, make a Pool on the Web Site if you feel like it, make a discussion on the Forum, change the format in the middle of the Tournament, postpone all games to take the time to resolve any discussion. In conclusion the HOST is the King of his Tournament''

So far nobody discuss that rule.

Thanks, Bonne chance

Personally, take any decision you want, do not matter to me. I just want to play and have a great time.

Lets roll those dices,
Lets get doubles
Let wins or lose . . .

I had asked the question before and the replies were to the effect that the present format is OK.

Since no game has been determined, I don't mind changing the format but these are the two choices:

1. Four Group leaders advance into the Final Group (like last year)
2. Eight teams advance (top two from each group) into a knock-out phase (quarter-finals, semi-finals and final game)

We can hold the vote here or on the site but someone else will have to put it up on the site.

Eight teams advance...comprising 2 groups(repeat Match day1 Practice,by playing all 3 teams)
and top 2 teams from both groups will advance to the FINAL ROUND

NT 1 took around 6 months to complete. What is the estimated time of completion for NT 2:

1. Following the NT 1 format?
2. Following the proposed format?

@Chwaqasahmed:

The time factor prevents me from considering any other options. I really don't want a second group phase!

@uahskr

Thanks for bringing up what's on my mind - the time factor.
I think either format will should take less than 6 months as there is more enthusiasm over Nation2 than the original Nations (faster pace and no dropouts). The proposed Option 3 would take far too long.
