As long as tournaments fill up as fast as they do currently (especially those promoted through the ingame news) - with people still leftover that don't get a spot, I don't really see the need to regulate the amount of tournaments.

The more specialized tournaments, between clans can take a while to get under way, and maybe another subforum wouldn't hurt, but I don't think it's critical yet.

Assuming we want to put some kind of control over tournaments - how would the system work to decide who is fit to run a tournament and who's not? A pre-in system could work, where the tournament organizer would have to collect let's say a 1/4 of the participants before starting the public signups, to make sure there is sufficient interest in that tournament in the first place.

Requiring back-up organizers could help with tournaments being abandoned in the middle of things - that would be a smart thing to do imho.

Also this is a young game, and we don't really have a group of established tournament organizers that could work as a committee for future tournaments yet.

Well, my understanding is that exponential growth means that the rate of increase of a variable is increasing over time at a certain rate, and I believe that is the case here. But I am certainly no mathematician!

Actually it's not only increasing over time, but increasing proportionally to the amount (of tournaments) already present - but yeah, we people who work with such things can get a bit nitpicky about it Wink
