How to participate?
Short answer: write here or send a mail to me, and I will help you to join :)

Long answer: the details of the invitation method
I will use a four steps invitation process:

• On Monday (later today) I will create the tournament and
  
  • invite the actual TOP25 players from the Ranking List (see the link above).
    The Rankings is up-to-date (was updated the first of November)
    Remarks:
    - The Ranking system changed, need finished tournament to count any results from it (see more in the News topic above).
    - The Ranking List will be udpated monthly based, always before the first Monday of the actual month, so I will use this Rankings for invitation for all Tour events in the given month.
    
  • invite 10 other players are chose by me (giving them Wild Card)
• On Tuesday I will
  
  • invite the actual TOP50 players from the Ranking List
    Who haven't invited already on Monday
    
  • invite 10 other players are chose by me (giving them Wild Card)
• On Wednesday, at 06:00 am CET, I will invite every remained players from my invitation list (you can check my present invitation list here: https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=21039 + players who joined to the last major).
  
  • If you are in that list then you will receive a tourney invitation, and the only what you need for the participation is to join asap, before the event will be filled.
    
  • If you aren't in the invitation list yet, but would like to play, then you need write here (or send mail to me) until 10 minutes before I send the invitations, and I will add you to the list and invite you to the tourney.
    
  • If you are in that list but don't wish to receive further Tour invitations, write here or any AWP topic (or send mail to me) and I will remove you from my invitation list. Later you can rejoin at anytime, I just don't want to spam anybody.
• On next day when the event filled and started (it will mean likely on Thursday), I will create the Challenger tournament (with the same template, and with 32 players), and invite all players who didn't join nor decline the "main" event.

GL & HF

I created the tournament, and sent the invitations to the TOP25 and the first 10 Wild Cards.

The link of the tourney:
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=21197

Invitations was sent to the TOP50 and the new 10 Wild Cards.

Such unpopular template... xD

The first tournament i declined on the awp tour :P

took me only half a second to decide :P

hahah i see everyone feels the same about small earth

@Timi
With that time this decision seems bad.

if you factor in the amount of clicks needed it was a wise decision :P

@MoD
You are not enough hardcore, look at Don and ANT, they are still joining :D

@Onoma
I wouldn't say this about a template which played by 70-80 players in the Small Earth Promotion/Relegation League ;)

Although, likely I won't use this template in the future on the Tour.

Btw, in the beggining, I thought the 250 Series events will be something like here, that the TOP players only focus on the major events just like in the tennis, and decline many 250 Series events.
But seems the pure fun factor of the Tour is bigger than the Ranking System :D

I created the first Challenger event and sent the invitations to those who didn't join nor decline the "main" tournament.

Just a reminder about these Challenger events:

Challenger events will be created after the "main" events, and will be invited all players who didn't able to join to the main.
Of course, you can gain points (which counted in your best six) from these Challenger events too:

• 80 points for the winner
  
• 50 points for the final
  
• 30 points for the semifinals
  
• 15 points for the quarterfinals
  
• 5 points for the Round16

Furthermore, the two players in the final will win a Wild Card for the next Masters event, and the two other players in the semifinals will win a Wild Card for the next 500 Series event! These Wild Cards will use on Tuesdays.
