Tournaments vs Clan Stand-offs

[Szei]

Does anyone else feel that clan vs clan matches don't really belong in the Tournament section?

If we have a clan tournament with brackets and 4 clans (hopefully we'll have 8 eventually), that should go in the tournament section. However, I feel that having all these "Clan A vs Clan B" in the Tournament sub-forum dilutes it, not to mention these aren't really tournaments. =/

Ideally we would have a Clan sub-forum (open to everyone, not the same as the private clan forums) too. However, I already bugged Adam about adding the Tournament sub-forum (which he very generously agreed to implement) and I don't feel like being the one to bother him again >.<

Thoughts?

It appear that clan battles are tournaments in sort because multiple players are playing, just in a group setting...like teams in sports.

I don't see a problem with it, but them again, I don't spend much time in the tournaments forum.

Perhaps I should have just said a "Clan" sub-forum instead of "Clan Stand-off". I do understand how you could view it that way, though clearly I see it differently. However, either way I feel it would be a good place for clans to have their clan discussion/recruitment threads (the ones TheQwertiest links to in the Clan List thread) as well as discuss clan events and hold these one on one clan stand-offs.

I think a clan sub forum is a good idea, all the clan threads on the main page don't really need to be there either, all clan recruiting/info/battle/etc threads could go into a new clan section and everything would seem a little more organized.

Well, I feel like the fora have a somewhat unprofessional layout that doesn't utilize all possibilities*:

General
Outwitters
Tournaments
Poppycock
Tilt to Live

*Note that I do not have access to clan/beta fora, and this statement is based on solely the public fora

With the currently unused category system we can think of countless possibilities.

It is a bit odd having the Tournament forums in the General section instead of giving Outwitters its own section like:


Outwitters
General This is what the current 'Outwitters' forum would become
Tournaments Active tournaments are in this forum
- Archived Finished or inactive tournaments are moved here
Clans General discussion regarding clans and clan recruitment threads go here
- Stand-offs This sub-forum is where one on one clan matches will go
- iPro
- Diamond League
- Anonymous
[...] etc Each clan has a sub-forum inside the Clans main forum

Tilt to Live
General
Tournaments This is kind of hard to do in TTL since you can try as many times as you want =/

Poppycock
Talk about anything not Outwitters/TTL related

Clan threads are causing a lot of clutter. And I also do not like the tournament threads getting bumped down in their own forum, particularly with so much time and effort going into tournaments.

oh did you pm Adam theqwertiest? Hopefully clans become more popular soon! In the meantime, maybe adam could post a news update regarding clans to help them reach that requisite popularity faster

Something like "Head over to the forums and join a clan!" but in OML's humorous not so boring way
