Last Sunday was a great showing of 17 teams for GNT-B. There are some logistics we could do better. Maybe we can figure out seeding and groups without such a long delay (sorry). Maybe lunch doesn’t need to be at 3pm. But overall, it was our most successful GNT-B event ever.
GNT-A and GNT-C Next Sunday!
Ok, let’s try to hit 20 teams next Sunday. All of the 8 teams who survived to the quarter finals of B are also eligible to play in GNT-A. You can’t go to Montreal for multiple flights if you end up winning the District A and B, but that’s a good problem to have. Plus, the runners up who get promoted will love you for dropping out and giving them the chance. Either way, it’s a great field to practice as you work through your KO matches.
How about the 9 teams that didn’t survive? If your team consists entirely of 0-500 NLMs, then you should definitely try GNT-C. And if not, you are eligible for GNT-A. The results were so tight, might as well give it a shot? Is there really such a big difference between a field with all players 0-2500 vs 0-6000? Do people learn great new superpowers in those last 3000 points that they didn’t have in the first 2500?
Some Key Numbers To Hit
For the GNT-A, there will most likely be a round robin unless we hit 10 teams. Then we default to our favorite CoC to get the format. Unfortunately, only one team will represent in Montreal.
For GNT-C, a key number is 8 teams. That lets the district send TWO teams to Montreal, and ensures the top four teams get 10-20 gold and red points. If we can cross 12 teams, then we will advance 8 survivors, just like in Championship and GNT-B. Please come join the fun. All are welcome (just make sure everyone is a District 24 resident, there was one disqualified team because one team member lived JUST a touch too far upstate).
