Sounds like storyline event would be better?

It clearly is for me !

I'm with Jorge here. Got last EC one game in which I got no explanation of actions of my "cross-table ally" other than that my predator was his mate.

It's maybe not so important in common tournaments, but in NC, where you are kind of encouraged to "play with your team" it may be a serious problem.

Not so radical solution will be to separate preliminaries of NC into several (5) smaller tournaments with "1 player from the nation" rule. And then make finals from top players of this events (or even make the 5 preliminaries of 2R+F and then 5 winners plays in the Grand Finale).

By this we can also remove strange "End of the Line"/"Enlightment in Blood" teams.

Sorry but why nation cup and no Legendary vampire ? in the legendary any player play for it self .

That is possible, but depending on the number of teams it could lead to a lot more 4 player tables than necessary. It works well with 9 or 10 nations. How many would you expect?

I do have some questions about the EC tournaments:

A1) The web pages for both the Storyline and the Nations Cup event state that these are to be 2 rounds + finals only. Is that correct? If so, why?

A2) Can we get confirmation if the EC torunaments, and the Constructed event on Sunday, are to be regular 3+F events, or if they too will be 2+F only?

When registering for the EC, I need to chose if I want to play the Nations Cup or the Storyline event. To make that choice, I would appreciate to have the details for the Storyline: What is the scenario, what are the special rules?

Thanks, and best regards,
