Elements PvP Tournament - Suggestions and Feedback

[Scaredgirl]

Please add to the rules page if there is going to be Preliminaries that it will be a best of 1 matchup.  Just so people know ahead of time and there isn't confusion.

I assume this is new to the organizers as well because of the increasing size of tourneys.

The problem is not the rules, it's players (like yourself ) who do not READ the rules. Here, let me help you:

Each tournament has a maximum of 64 players. If we have more than 32 players, will will have a fast 10 minute "best-of-one" preliminary round to determine which 32 players go to round 1.

That is a copy-paste taken directly from the rules topic. Each tournament topic asks people to read these rules and even has a link to them.

What more can we do? Go to everyones house and force them to read it?

Hi Scaregirl, I've been wanting to get into a tournament and when u say enter the chat room, what chat room are you talkin about? The only tournament system that I think would be better is to make a forum 10-20 min before the torunament starts and have every body sign up there.

This is also explained in the rules. Please read them.

Of course, you are right.  My apologies.

Hi everyone

First of my apoligies for not showing up last months. I encountered problems that I couldn´t get around of. We all should be thanking those that ran the tourneys as it isn´t as easy as one may think.

One thing I did spend a lot of time thinking about how to speed up the tourneys make theme more popular, giving more people prizes and having more than just 2 tourneys a week.
Simply put there is no way around it. Zanz would have to automate it. We have a thread where you can vote whate you believe is most importent for the next update and I believe automating the tourneys is one of the things you can vote for. Personally I have a very good idea how such an automization would look like to make it popular and will start a thread about it sooner or later to collect ideas and to see what everbody thinks how it should work. Zanz thene may work with those ideas to make a great automated tourney for elements that actually goes really quick and prizes that fit the amount of players in it.

With two tourneys a week running we pretty much always had one unupped tourney running and did not lose any players because of it and see no reason to have 3 unupped one upped tourneys as I read here. I think the rotation with one unupped, no restrictions and special rules is a good one. Special rules usually was unnuped anyways.
Lot of suggestions that are made in this thread fall under these special rules tourneys. I hope SG did not erase that thread with SP rules ideas as there were many great ideas in it.

Of course not. Ideas from that thread have been moved to private PvP organizing section (visible to Tournament organizers) along with ideas from that competition we had, and some random ideas taken from other threads as well. All ideas will be implemented sooner or later.

I just wanted to add tha having a 1-round preliminary on a luck FATE based tourney like the eggy one is kinda depressing, as i lost very closely on that first round and wanted to rematch...

That was your fate unfortunately.

The thing is that if there are more than 32 players, we are forced to use a best-of-1 preliminary round. Otherwise it takes WAY too long to finish one tournament because one extra full round could add 45 minutes to total tournament time.

I know it sucks for players who lose that first match, but at least they had a chance. With the old 32-player-max system, the 33rd player couldn't be able to join at all.

Tournament Suggestion (by Lucifear and thelonesun)

Okay, so Luci and thelonesun had a pretty fun idea for a tournament imo that I kinda streamlined and made more realistic for an actual weekly pvp tournament set of rules. It would take more preparing, and would be 15-30 minutes longer simply due to the preparation time before the tournament actually starts, but other than that it's a pretty sweet idea to me.

-Get in chat THIRTY MINUTES before tournament starts (this could be changed), preferably a little bit beforehand.
-Then PvP Organizer will announce a random set of letters and or numbers (like naa72cv). You must now make a new game account with your chat ign + this random set of letters and numbers tagged on the end.
-You then have until the tournament starts to grind this account and get whatever decks you want or can.
-You then compete in a no restrictions tournament using that account. Note that if you grinded enough, you could have upped cards .

Prizes will of course go to the main account via the redeem code.


Again, the only reason I can think of that this wouldn't be a fun way to do a tournament is that you need to be in chat earlier than normal to get the random string to make a legal account.

Tournament Suggestion:

Cock Fight

The only creature that may be used is cockatrice. There must be six in every deck.

No other restrictions. Unless it were to be an unupped tourney.

Flying weapons aren't creatures.

I don't know if this have been suggested in other parts of the forum, but I would like a system where you can join tournaments just by clicking on a button.
You would automaticly be paired up with a number of people to battle 1 vs 1 in elemination rounds until one man is standing. of course, the type of tournament could variate, maybe with some sort of daily theme tournament.
I think a similar idea could be nice if it is thoroughly made.
Just a suggestion though.
(PS: how to sign up for tournaments as it is right now? the forum is like a maze for the forum-newbies like me.)
petterud(testing out the facilities in this forum) this one was really cool btw

Not before reading: This is not a complaint thread. I am not demanding a redo
So, I was playing this guy in the first round of the tournament. I was pretty psyched since it was my first and thinking I was gonna plow through it like a hot knife through butter. It's second round, he's beaten me, I've beaten him, and he has no creatures on the feild with an HP of 82. I have like 12 Aether pillars out, and I Fractal my Phase Spiders. And as soon as I do, my hand fills up and my computer freezes. Though, I guess I should have thought more about the amount of windows I had open before I proceeded.
Well, thought I'd vent.
Thanks,
