Warrior General Games

a lot of people are organizing tournaments right now which i think is pretty cool, but there is no real prize except for bragging rights. would it be possible to have an option to start a tournament, and then invite teams to join it via a link beside the friendlies button to get the teams you want in it, then have a trophy go to the championship team?

i was thinking have an option for 8, 16, and 32 team tourneys, with the teams randomly seeded

Other Ideas suggested:

8 team - 500 FP + price of games small trophy

16 teams - 800 FP + prize of games normal sized trophy

32 teams - 1200 FP + price of all games with a good sized trophy

this makes Bort money and lets the people who care ab this kinda stuff get their due

EDIT - Just need to smooth out the details a little.
25 FP per team to get into a 8 team tourney single elim
50 FP per team to get into a 16 single or 8 double
And so one... might be a good compromise.
That way it could be implemented by GLB.
You sign up to start a tourney calling it whatever you want.
And there's a 'tourney' sign up link on every owners page.
They would click Tourneys
Then find the one they've been invited to and enter a password or the organizer must have invited them. Then they pay the FP fee and there's a separate tourney page complete with bracket and stats, which the Tourney link (for viewing) also shows up on the team page. They could have tourney tropheys for the top 3 teams. And so on..

Any other ideas? If this idea is going to take off it needs a LOT of discussion and ideas to be smoothed out big time.

perhaps 2 tourney pages. 1 for private (invitation only) and 1 for public where you could set your maximum level for each team. maybe based on the Player level?

Yeah, don't think they can do that either.
Although whoever created the tourney would (could) have power to kick teams out before it starts. So if they aren't respecting the 'suggested' average level they'd be booted.

doubt this would happen, but another coll thing that could be done is allow tournaments to have an entrance fee, say 250k max per team, and then the winner takes the pot, or its split between the top 3 something like that

all a trophy is, is bragging rights. you realize this right?

i do, but it still shows as a team accomplishment

IE... Canada A Allstar Tournament championship trophy would look pretty cool on a team page

all the W's on the Scrimmage column do this fine for most. charge FP based on size for a structured tourney? i wouldnt pay but im not against the idea.

i would say maybe 3/4 the price for a tourney?

8 team - 500 FP + price of games small trophy

16 teams - 800 FP + prize of games normal sized trophy

32 teams - 1200 FP + price of all games with a good sized trophy

is that split between the teams or per team?

or by the organizer

teams play for all scrimmages they're in, organizer pays cost of tourney.

could work, but... either the organizer gets homefield advantage, or multiple teams get to split the price

even though home field means nothing.

yeah but i think itll become a factor in later stages of the game

im sure somethings been said about it.

I love the idea of a tool to automate the process of creating small scale tourneys... infact I was going to suggest this yesterday, but stopped halfway through my post because I was going at it from an angle of awarding prizes (basically each team pays 1 "Friendly" to enter, and the prizes are in "Friendlies").. but then I kept getting stuck on the reality that the leagues are so jumbled power/level-wise that such a tourney system would just be dominated by a few teams and that would be that...

... but if such a tool was created without any prizes.. then it would allow teams to be real informal and it could be fun.

exactly
