With due respect U r host and u have the final say..I am OK with every decision of urs but if we are having a poll then pz let the players decide their choice and provide them all the options... Thanks

and as far as time factor u hv already seen this Tourney is going way faster than earlier bcz there are PEOPLE who are helping players and giving them informations.

We can make it more faster if captains provide their players regular updates
I m sure many players and even Captains still don't know whats going on in nations Tourney  
so by addressing just captains and guiding them will resolve so many issues and problems..it will also reduce time when players will know about the ROSTERS and DRAWS from their captains and most of the players don't visit forums

The main purpose of advancing 2 teams is to give exposure and the chance of playing to maximum players in Nations Tourney
but if will adopt knockout phase it will even reduce the games from previous format for all players...
in knockout a team will just play 1 match and will be kicked out



WHILE in advancing 2 teams and making 2 groups in phase 2 will provide chance to more players to play and have a chance of losing also

So pz if players don't wanna adopt this format its ok but let them have a VOTE in this option also...I assure u we will not waste much TIME in NT2

What with the time difference (Spain - USA), still waiting for 2 players to challenge me (as I can't challenge them) and things like work, sleep and other things that get in the way, I'm not getting anywhere fast. Patience is a virtue ...

Last time we took the two highest % from each group to advance.
If we only take the highest % team from each group this time, groups with 12-4 winners pretty much have clinched their group already. Not much incentive for the rest to even play anymore.
As captain for USA2 I vote to have top two from each group advance.

...and if your team were 12-4, how do you react?? why did not you say at the beginning?
my team vote first for format with 2 top team advance!

guys its just score of 1 match  

If other teams are good enough they can take down that team in the remaining 2 matches.
If they can't then surely 12-4 team is best and should advance  


I don't think 12-4 will be an issue

Wallaby has joined our team. Yiannakos has okayed it so accept his challenges I guess.
