Isn't this a bit early for an idea thread for Country Cup? Yes it is, if this was normal year, which it isn't because: 1) there's a plan to run CC a little earlier this year 2) It's the 10th anniversary of this great competition! Why not celebrate it in a special way?

Idea #1 

Make the competition 10 stages, one picked from each of the last 10 years (with hardware restrictions adjusted where appropriate). This could take the form of a poll or just a discussion thread, I'm not sure which way to go because a poll is democratic but with 10 questions could end up with a low number of votes. What do you think?

Here are the stages over the last 10 years (for reference):

Idea #2

This is kind of a "stretch goal" version of idea #1. Same deal, still 10 stages from the last 10 years but this time the winning team from each year can pick the stages. I know it could be a lot of work but I think it's kind of a cool way of deciding that is less likely to turn into a never-ending discussion. To make sure that one country doesn't dominate this process I further propose allowing each country only one pick and giving the second place / third place team the pick as appropriate.

i.e. the bolded teams in this list get to pick the stage from that particular year:

Looking forward to hearing your responses! Thanks to @Bilko for helping to come up with this concept :)

Either way sounds pretty cool, I think that Idea #2 is a little easier to get sorted (potentially) and I'm also in favour of Idea #3

I think it is already decided to do this comp earlier in the year, @Leeghoofd to confirm.

Both TC and CC are still happening but I personally enjoy CC more and wanted to emphasise the anniversary so I made a thread. Feel free to open a TC one :)

I know I’m new around these parts, but I kind of like option 1 over 2. 

 

You up could do individual polls that last a week or so for each round. That would give us our comps for each round.  The 10 rounds deal sounds good to me. 

 

I think option 2 would would probably be viable sooner, but I’m not sure how much say those who are newer to this vs those who’ve been around a while would get a say in what benchs are chosen. 

 

Whatever the masses choose I’m all game for. I’ll bench what I can and enjoy this community as much as I can.

Appreciate this Alby, anything to not spend more time with the family and racist grandparents over christmas is a bonus for me.

I dont want to spend time with my family either, but i'm obligated to.

I enjoyed the dogpile stage, I don't know how much others would like to see it but I think a dogpile stage for country cup would be fun. Since CC tends to be memory type agnostic perhaps a gpu based dogpile with a dx9 bench like 3dm05?

Other than that I think a 32m stage, a gpupi stage, an igp stage, and a mixed core count stage (ie; amd 1-2-3-4-5-6-8 core wprime) would be nice to see.

Love the idea of reprising one stage from each previous year. 

Don't love the dogpile for CC. For TC it's fine - but I'd rather be able to spend a little more time on each score and have time to go cold on each than just dumping ambient score after ambient score into the comp just to cover enough ground.
