This cup is aimed at the EU HoN community, hence it'll be convenient for most if not all teams.

Well I've signed Baws up and the system recoginses the team is signed up for the competition, however, my players can't find how to join the team once they're registered?

Also, when will brackets be released for this?

The team leader can go to 'my team' at the top and invite players to the team.

Brackets will be generated after check-ins on the day.

First 32 teams to check-in will be participating in the cup.

When will you announce the matchups?
And the 32 teams that will participate?

At Excello.net it is first come first server, therefore the first 32 teams to check-in will be playing in the cup.

Check-in opens 30 minutes before round 1. Once the 32 teams have checked-in, we'll release the brackets (this will use seeds).

So let's say my team is nr.37 and 5 teams from the top 32 miss the check in.
Will my team (and teams nr.33-36) get in the tourn?

As far as I undertand it it's anyones game, at the check in the _FIRST_ 32 teams to check in are the ones who'll participate in the tournament, regardless of when you originally registered on the site.

Yeeh, okey that makes sense.

Exactly as he stated =] The first 32 to check-in will play in cup, we do not look when the teams signed-up. You can have a team that signed-up first, but if they don't check in then they don't play in cup.

So we can whisper you ingame 19:30CET Dec 13?

The team owner click "check-in" (which will appear in the same place you clicked "sign-in") in the 30 minutes before the tournament starts.

If I am available to check you in, then I will do so but would be great if you can do this yourselves.
