Hm.
I think we have something here with the bracket idea. If the members do not mind, I would like to put what is in my thoughts down on this posting. If you do not agree, that is ok, this is just my thought so here goes.

1. Allow players of all levels to look forward to a opportunity to win something. Right now there is no chance for a new player starting out to even hope of winning anything except tickets for prizes.

2. Since in order to achieve a certain power, one must have certain level of gear as well as runes. Power rating may be a good indicator to which bracket one would fall into (based on in game maximum power - seem through the ranking system).

3. Rewards can also be commensurate to the levels of the bracket and alternate with an open bracket competition every 2 weeks (and allow you to compete in only 1 event), so if you choose ultimate, you cannot do bracket 3 and visa versa. This would limit how much reward one player may gain in a month.

Bracket 1: Purple Heron blue stars, coins, credits...
Bracket 2: Gold Hero (up to first or second tier gold heros - such as Shayd, Rhize, etc), blue stars coins, credits...
Bracket 3: Gold Hero (up to opened rank hero, and past first tier gold heros), purple stars, coins, credits...

Ultimate Bracket: Open to anyone and with higher degree of awards to the top finishers (can be 3, 5, 8, etc) - [Maybe make this once a month] with end game heros (Give some choices - Kahn, Aphro, Africana, Prophet, King T, etc), purple stars, coins, credits...

Chips can also be tiered the same way.
Bracket 1: Chip Level 6 (1st place), Level 5 (2nd Place), Level 4 (3rd)...
Bracket 2: Chip Level 7, 6, 5...
Bracket 3: Chip Level 8, 7, 6...
Ultimate: Chip Level 10, 9, 8...

Etc. Etc. on the reward system and it is endless. Maybe even Mount "feed"

4. This can potentially shorten the CWF by 1 - 2 days and get rid of the long preliminaries with smaller brackets.

This may be a bit of hard programming... but in the end, it may be a great answer to players at all levels to meaningfully participate and enjoy watching the "Ultimate" and win tickets via betting, etc.

Thanks for reading my idea.
