The Ztark Classic was a lot of fun, and I would love to see us announcing monthly tournaments someday! I don’t know when the next tourney will be, hell I don’t even know if there will be another one! I just wanted to see if there were any rules or ideas or style that the players would prefer. Another like last time, a classic 1v1, everyone in 1 spot free-for-all? So post away, what kind of tournament should we have next? Ideas welcome!
Oh, and here is the topic we have been having about the last tournament:
Monthly? Too much. Quarterly would be more reasonable.
Id like to see elimination style with a round robin. Get to fight atleast twice before being eliminated. Lets the folks eliminated early on have a shot at redemption
Thanks for the comment! Just curious, any reason why not more frequently? I think we can knock a more typical tournament out in a day, two max. Wouldn’t even have to stop your normal updates from ref. We could announce once a month, but it’s not for another 2-4 weeks, have a set day and/or times for a weekend where we all meet up in chat to get our matches done, skip if someone can’t make it. I thought we had a lot of success doing that in the past, and PMCS makes it 100x easier nowadays.
We would definitely need to downplay the role playing and just get down to the action, matches shouldn’t take more than 30-45 minutes each. If we get 2-3 refs all doing matches for the first rounds, I think at this size we could have the entire tourney done in 1 go, maybe 3 hours? 4 with a couple breaks? Definitely a fun planned Saturday afternoon or something.
You can easily x5 to x10 your PL in a month.
In the past we have mainly said previous winners can’t enter again, or perhaps we only let them enter a bigger quarterly tourney?
Just exploring options on how we can make it happen.
I think the last tournament was incredibly involved and definitely acted as a nice aside while we waited for the main campaign to get back on the rails. But I agree with Majin, unless there was some modifier that made combat quicker, I don’t really think it would be feasible to have monthly tournaments.
An idea for a tournament I had (for the next one we inevitably have) is to do it coliseum style. All of spawn in a “prison cell” or something similar and we get one interaction per day that can yield items. And a random two competitors are selected each day to fight with a random stage modifier. Would totally love to flesh this idea out more!
