Just to set things straight, not everyone out there has TFT... Its a PAID expansion, not free. So, RotC isn't exactly an "older version" since 80% of the units in Warcraft 3 come from there and are still being used by TFT. You'd be suprised at how many ppl still play RotC and it is in fact still supported concurrently with TFT, so its not exactly old.

Anyhoo, having 2 separate games for a tournament in different phases is in fact a stupid idea... Its not like tennis where you can add extra sets for the final or minor rule changes... This is like having 2 different games. Its not even close to be a true representation of a team's skill. Why don't you suggest to FIFA to make the World Cup qualifiers be futsal and the finals only being actual football?

For instance, if a team is reeeeeeeeeeeaaaalllyy good at v5 but sucks balls at v6, they'd probably breeze through until the quarterfinals and be assured of a top 8 finish. Vice versa, a reeeeeeeeaaaaaaalllllyyyy good v6 team could be bundled out before reaching the part where they truly shine.

If you really want to make a joint v5 & v6 tourney, make use of both maps during ALL phases of the tourney (Kinda like a triathlon, but only with 2). Probably make it that a team must have 2 wins, one with v5 and v6 or something along those lines, to be labelled the winner.

I personally think that having 2 separate games in a tourney is a bad idea... You're gonna have to train yourself to have 2 different mindsets (silencer: v5= pusher, v6=anti-magic, etc.) which just feels so unnecessary.

Actually, they do since some of the fellas have paid the entry fee (RM100?)
