Can you explain to me more about with a open applications mean?
I thought I'll just be joining up with Nheer's team. Since he already has an open application, I can join that , he'll be the captain and we look for one other willing participant to round it up rather than having multiple applications from the same region.
Or does each indicated interest show as an open application?
This is the first we heard about the two of you connecting. Idea is you discuss it in private and then write it here when it is agreed. Feel free to talk about this competition among your local boards. I expected to see some people that aren't part of BSFL to be recruited by those that are.
So far we have 4 levels
1. Teams that are complete, have officially applied with club post and flag, and have paid their fee - These ones are 100% in the event
2. Teams that are complete and have officially applied with club post and flag - these ones are also 100% in the event so far, but when we get closer to 18 teams we may have to start putting some on hold until we see we can reach 24 teams or 32 teams (this one is probably wishful thinking)
3. Teams that seem complete but haven't actually officially applied yet (That is the 3 under potential teams headline)
4. Open applications, for people without complete teams that are looking to play this event but have no other ways or connections to create whole teams, we will use these ones for now to help you connect and when we get closer to deadline we may create some mixed teams from remaining members.
It is in everyone's best interest to apply asap, and agree on their own teams. We will not do it for you unless we are missing a team or two to create proper knockout brackets.
