Interesting design idea for a worldwide tournament (World Championship) with qualifiers

Tournament Design Idea

After reading the rules formatted by Nick and Dronpes, I thought about a Worldwide tournament format myself and hope you guys can give me feedback on my proposed idea.

Set up a worldwide tournament with regional qualifiers. Here’s how it works:

Regionals qualifiers: Have an starting date and a closing date for regionals with a maximum amount of entrants per regional. Divide players into pools of 8 players each and give them 40 days to work themselves towards ultra friends status. Have them compete with each other after that using the proposed ruleset. The winner of each pool faces off in another bracket of eight players. Give them 40 days as well to get to ultra friends and then let them compete against each other. The winner of the bracket is the winner of the regional with a set amount of regionals.

World Championship: Have 32 spots available for the World Championship with qualifiers around the world for every continent. Base the amount of qualifying spots for each continent on the amount of players who are interested in entering (eg NA getting 10 qualifying spots and EU only 8) and let every continent have at least 1 qualifying spot. The formation for the tournament is the same as the regionals, with an 8 man pool, but this time the top 2 of each pools advanced into an 8 player bracket where a winner emerges and is crowned World Champion.

What do you guys think of this idea? I’d love to hear some feedback.
