I would be interested in participating in this, along with streaming and even casting =]
Would definitely be in, considering how much fun SSCI was

Actually thatās something that us Baltic players are doing this July, Baltic Meta Showdown on OCTGN. Not sure if anyone would be interested, but if there is any support, I could talk to the organiser, maybe a stream is possible.
yep would be up for it. Despite the fact that Iād once again have to get up at 11pm to then play through the night, into the morning (the ssci was actually killer for me, and left me a bit dead for the days after that)
I am qualified and would certainly compete in this.
Also the best top 8 format would be a deck auction via bidding on starting bank/hand size, points needed to win, etc.
I am qualified and interested, too.
Sounds like fun. Iām up for splitting it into 2 days of a weekend, that way we could have proper 6 rounds of swiss without rushing. I donāt think devoting 2 afternoons is harder than 1 whole day and night.
Also, by splitting it into 2, itās easier to find a window of time that will suit both timezones.
P.S. won a regionals in Budapest, Hungary this year and would like to compete
I should be there if it doesnāt conflict with anything else.
Can Runner Ups Compete? Please? Pretty Please? Even if it was a big 63 person regional? Please?

Only if you managed to get the bye I think.
I would personally feel one day is better. Itās hard for me and perhaps others to get 2 days off in a row.

It could be on separate weekends, I donāt mind.
Yeah, 2 day is pretty out of the question IMO. Itās almost certain to make less people be able to play. I am shooting for some time in late Sept or early Oct right now, Iāll make a poll with dates.

Even though Iām a lesser player with no chance to compete in this thing, I will throw in my 2c: I like the after Nationals/pre-Worlds idea.
That said, canāt wait to watch it. Maybe Iāll even give OCTGN a try so I can better understand all the fiddly shit before I watch. You guys doing live commentary again?

Iād play. Two day event appeals to me the most.
Any chance of an LMQ to get in, like with the SSCI?

Iām down for it, SSCI was a ton of fun (though quite draining).
One idea that is inspired from the development of ANRPC is the idea of conferences, like in sports. Perhaps rather than a straight up swiss bracket/cut, we could divide into groups of regions to form conferences, and then have a multiple elimination section from there.
One cool thing Iāve noticed this Regional season (the first season where Iāve gone to multiple Regionals) is that you see a lot of familiar faces getting T8 across state lines, as well as year to year.
Nationals and Worlds is kind of just a battle of individuals, based on whoever wants to make the trip, where as Regionals is kind of like throwing down for your hometown. It would make for a cool dynamic to find out you know, who would win West Coast vs. South, North East vs. Central Europe, etcā¦ (I know, I know, Wisconsion meta OP, would win everything, ban it.)
Obviously OCTGN helps with this too, because unlike Worlds/Nationals, there are no financial restrictions, so we would really get an accurate sense of how competitive Netrunner is distributed.
