MCM Royale

The MCM Royale will be the second MCM-sanctioned tournament, to be held after the conclusion of the MCM Cup either during the Winter of 2016/2017 or the Summer of 2017. As the name suggests, this tournament will be larger than the Cup, with around 100 potential participants from the three newly-organized divisions, RXT (RPG-Xfire-Tournytime), CRA (Codemasters Formula 1-Race Department-AOR), and FLHEX (FPS-Lucky-Hex).

Currently there are 108 on the provisional list of invitees, which will be officiated closer to the tournament. As a large amount of these would be debutants, and to make the tournament simpler, participants will be assigned to one of three divisions "division": RPG-Xfire-Touryimte (RXT), Codemasters-RaceDepartment-AOR (CRA) and FPS-Lucky-Hex (FLHEX). RXT, which has 49 invitees on the provisional list, will largely consist of the same participants as the MCM Cup, whereas the other two groups will be purely debutants, CRA having 36 invitees and FLHEX having 23.

The tournament will be split in to three stages: The Division Stage, which will see all participants fighting within their divisions to avoid elimination; the Group Stage, which will see 32 participants duel in eight groups of four, with the bottom one from each group being eliminated; and a slightly altered Knockout Stage, which will see 24 placed in a knockout bracket to crown the winner.

Like the MCM Cup, a host will be voted in through a two-round vote. In the Division Stage, 49 RXT participants will fight for 14 spots in the Group Stage, 36 CRA participants for 11 spots, and 23 FLHEX participants for 7. For the Group Stage, each group will have a predetermined amount of participants from each division. The first five groups will have a share of 2-1-1 from divisions RXT-CRA-FLHEX, the next two will have 1-2-1, and the final group will have 2-2-0. The Knockout Stage will be altered slightly to spice things up: As usual, the top two from each Group Stage group will fight in a knockout bracket ("Hard Hitter Bracket"), but concurrently, the third-placed players will fight an 8-participant "Outta Nowhere Bracket". The winner from each of those two brackets will then face off in a "Grandest Finale" duel, which will crown the victor.
