Not sure everyone will be on board with Canyon Network as a competitive map, many consider its spawn points to be a bit unbalanced in terms of access to theta. I don't much care since I'm not a comp player, but I suspect some folks will object (not that it's remotely possible to please everyone no matter what you select for a format ).

maybe you could give some clarity on the following topic:
What does Round Robin Format mean in detail?
How many groups are there? How many games each time will have?
Is everybody playing 1 or 2 times against the other team?
How many teams are there per region?

Time to tweak the dropdecks to fit and start the proper tactical planning for the map/opposing teams and member strengths.
As for the question of what round robin is;
https://en.wikipedia...obin_tournament
Each team basically meets up for a one round game with every other team (If there are 20 teams entered you will be playing 19 games). If it is like football (the version played mainly with the feet and an actual round ball ) a win gives the team 3 points, a draw 1 point each and a loss 0 points. The teams with the most points at the end will meet up in the 3 games regional championship to determine who will be flown to Canada to enter the 5 game finals.
Regarding the need to announce your dropdecks... I would also be interested what this exactly means.. Do you announce your Mech cassie type (Firestarter), mech variant (Firestarter A) or do you need to announce the complete loadout together with the Smurphy link to the build for everyone in your lineup for the match?

There are 244 teams - lets assume 40% in Americas, 40% in EMEA and 20% in APJ/Asia.
Let's assume we have 95 teams in Europe: Robin Round would mean I have to play against 94 teams - that's a lot.
@PGI: How do you structure / cluster the participating teams? How many teams are in one "league"?

The regional qualifier rounds will be held over a period of 4 Months (June till September)
https://mwomercs.com...wc2016/overview
With 97 opponents (96 games) in your bracket (US or EU) it would mean you will have to play approximately one match per day with a few days break. The team which can consistently bring 8+ players from the 12 listed and can actually perform half way decently will win. It will be more in line with who can hold out the longest.
Additionally, there is the possibility, that you can hold 4 matches in one day. This means that if you are lucky, you will only have to play on 24 days during this time.

Round Robin - Each team plays every other team 1 time. So if the NA Region has 95 teams, then 95 matches will be played by each team. Most wins is the metric used for seeing which teams goes to the next round.

Round robin also has a problem that teams that lose all chances of winning are either forced to keep playing or will forfeit a lot.

If you has a bad day you loose that match.
