An Outwitters Tournament?

[Jack.J98]

i think once this game has settled down and everythings working, we should set up some kind of tournament. I was thinking people enroll on a thread, only allowing something like twenty people, and then after enrollment is over, people are given an opponent and it goes up like that pyramid style table ( i dont know what its called, sorry ). its just an idea, and it may be hard to understand.

Don't worry, I've got plans for a Tournament down the road. For now, let's all familiarize ourselves with the game.

I think the best thing to do would be to have a much larger tornament, done into groups. Example. Group A has x eople. group B has x people. And so on. The larger the tornament the better. So practically anyone could apply, it would just have to be spread out over a while.
G.A does first round, G.B does first round... G.A does second.. And so forth until the groups wage war agenst one another. And if groups were based on locations so not too many hours time difference(because i would hate for the deciding match to at 2 in the morning while the british are in the middle of the day and alertness. Also dates could decide groups(group a match 1 on 25, group b match 1 on 26..ect.) goodluck

I ran a Hero Academy tournament using a round robin system, where people play everyone in their subgroup, advancement is based on points. I think round robin is a little more fair and interesting than single elimination, although its admittedly harder to run.

But I learned that its a disaster to start a tournament in the first two weeks because there are too many people that wont stick with it. You do better if you wait and get people that know they will be around.

With the replay sharing capabilities it is also very cool. My idea was to play a 16 or 32 player best of 3 elimination tournament. I'm still mulling over how to deal with FTA in 3 games; maybe one player can pick the map while the other one gets the first turn or something like that.

How about the lower ranked player gets two starts out of three games?
