DB tourny

It's one of my favorite hobbies though.

I think that there is a proper way to get this thing rolling.

Step 1.) Select a date and time.  Once it is selected, announce it.  It should be announced at least a week prior to the Tournament.

Step 2.) Everyone in the meantime can figure out if they are available to play in the tourney.  Than they can select a partner.

Step 3.) All of the scenarios and rules for this tournament can be mutually made and selected and will naturally fall into place. 

There will need to be a way to moderate this tournament.  In my opinion there should be 5 moderators all of which should be able to participate in the tournament.  Since this is a DB hosted tourney, I believe that three of the moderators should be the three DB Council members plus two guest moderators so the moderating system can be more trusted.  My vote goes to Sage and Myst.  Sage is the leader of his respected clan and a major influence on the TA:K gaming community, and Myst is the leader of IE, the second largest active clan in TA:K.  As far as I know the five of us all can cooperate to make this a successful activity.

I wouldn't mind putting some order in the court

Im salary train... not more hour bullshit bro!

They can be held Sat or Sun... i dont think it matters too much cause we can play as people get the opportunity.

I forgot.  But, I do like the idea of having people play not all on the same day but rather as when the assigned matchup of players in that matchup are available to participate.  Only problem with that is that some people play at different times of the day and there could become a matchup problem based on Time Zones.

I LIKE THIS IDEA! COUNT ME IN

This idea becomes a ladder type game rather than a tourney. We've had this type of tourney before, and people end up losing interest because they have to wait for other people to play after a week, maybe two, some never come back to play their games, and the tourney end up losing popularity.

I would suggest two things. One, have a tourney where everyone can come at a certain time and date to start and finish it. And two, create a ladder system to play whenever you can.

We can keep the game more active this way by having 1v1 ladder games, and 2v2 tourneys every now and then.

How about this?

Great idea!!! I have run tournament fr pokemon and TA:K and ultimate frisbee. if you need someone to maintain a ladder I can do it! I have maintained them before. then the next tourney happens and the ladder resets

Could even do like old KOTH's where the first 3 saturdays of the month are the qualfying tourneys for the last weekend of the month. Could take the winner from each of the first 3 saturdays, and then assign points.. 1 point per game played, 1 point per victory. And the Wildcard player will be whoever had the most points then the championship round will just be 2 games on the last saturday of the month.

Would work for 1v1.. and that way even if you only get 6-8 players each saturday still gets a little competition going, if more players show up then you can do 2 players qualify from each then 2 wildcards so you have an 8 player final on the last day etc.. If you can't make it, oh well.

And if you want give out "shields" for the final and you could keep stats for however many months it last as a sort of ranking. Could even do like old BY and give shields by race. Could work it like.. You have to win so many games with a particular race and you get a shield. For instance If you win a total of 10 tournament games either qualifiers or in the finals with Taros, you would receive a Taros Bronze shield... once you hit 25 wins you get the Silver.. 50 Gold.. etc.  Keep stats for each race separate. Someone photoshop capable could whip up the shields as forum icons or something pretty easy (i'm sure the old BY ones are still around).


Just throwing ideas out there.
