It seems like with just 2 scores there isn't much you could do to expand the tournament unless you want to have X rounds (1 per week so you can see the scores for each week). You could use the same scoring system as you did for the TtL 1 tournament but just have X scores for Classic and Code Red instead of 5 scores from completely separate game modes. Of course if you have something more creative then go for it! Interested to see what you come up with.

Not to derange the thread entirely but here's my current thinking:
While a model with multiple 1-week rounds has its appeals, I would like to stay with the 4 weeks "try to beat the other scores" system. It allows for a more relaxed gameplay and as far as the feedback goes, most were quite satisfied with trying to climb to the top.
Next, as I said earlier, I want a ranking that is based equally on Classic and Code Red - a Tournament should be demanding. So here's what I'd like to do:

• Classic and Code Red are still scored and ranked individually as a starting point, just like before.
• Then all Classic and Code Red scores are scaled down so that the highest score is converted to some arbitrarily chosen number N (I haven't chosen this number arbitrarily yet). All lower scores are scaled down similarly. So if you scored 85% of the highes score you get 85% of N in your overall score.
• Both scaled scores for Classic and Code Red are then added together and form the final overall ranking. If you happen to hold both the Classic and Code Red high score you'd have an overall score of 2*N of course.
  

The problem I'm trying to solve here is that Classic and Code Red scores in and of themselves are not directly comparable (I assume) but I'd still like them to contribute in equal amounts to the final ranking. I am concerned however that this scoring method is too complicated and incomprehensible. Plan B is to use the Allstar ranking again even though it's kind of boring with only 2 disciplines.

And now back to topic: what are those tricks I've been hearing so much about lately? To quote a certain Dalek philosopher: "EXPLAIN! EXPLAIN!"
