Tournaments? Eggwars?

[dev_Revs]

Your server has some of the best gamemodes and team gamemodes such as eggwars. It would be efficient if you hosted a tournament for the community to participate in. Would bring a more fun and competitive side to the server.
Thoughts?

This idea technically is what some servers call the arcade, but i like the idea

 

[dev_Revs]

Not really, I come from a strictly competitive server. Arcade is something different :) this is like teams competing to be the best

This wouldn't work due to the vast number of different time zones prominent players live in, all the way between GMT-7 and GMT+2

trust me timezones are the easiest part of running a tournament. If players care and its not an outrageous time, they will show.

That's the exact reason all tournaments have been denied. Also, have you ever run a tournament? Timezones would make it very difficult if not impossible. You can't have teams nine hours apart compete during a school week so this would take absolutely forever because it needs to be a bracket format and so many bad teams will join it will take three months to get to the DECENT matches.

Ive ran three tournaments and been apart of six. You obviously don't know how to run them because you wouldn't do they during a school week. Weekends or when a international school holiday is going on is the best time. Your argument is pathetic. It would not take three months to get it done, one month at most if you know what you are doing. If bad teams want to enter let them, they have their right to. You pair teams to play teams who have the closest timezone. then when it gets down to it, you decide whats the most reasonable time for both teams.

We have 300,000 players join daily. I'll be nice and say that 100,000 people play eggwars. That's about 2 to the 17th power. This would require 18 weekends to run if everything went perfectly. But again, not everyone is available at an exact time that is given, meaning that a lot of rescheduling is required. Multiply the amount of weekends by three and make it 54. That's over a year. And I'll give another example of time zone issues. Say we had a match like this:

Me, @YounB , and @CyanYellow vs. @zDutchie , @zRinne , and @Dai_Matsumoto (DWA)

If the match was scheduled for 11:00 AM British Daylight Time, the match times for the players would look somewhat like this:

6:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 3:00 AM vs 12:00 PM, 6:00 PM, 7:00 PM

I don't think the average player would be willing to play someone on a 12-16 hour time difference.

QuackoNumerUno is right.Everyone has different timezones so unless you host a different tournament for separate timezone it could work.I also mentioned this idea in my suggestion thread :D

Even that wouldn't work. 65% of our player base lives in the time zones of GMT+1 and GMT+2 time zones, as well as most of the really good PvPers such as @Thefty . The Asian-Australian tournament would have barely any participants. Good thinking though!

You could hold your own unofficial tournament with people. It doesn't always have to be official remember that.
