>>25270697>>25270743>>25271291I tried to ask one of the devs about automated online tournaments a bunch of times, but I guess my question got lost.
Something like Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 2 do - have a weekly tournament at fixed times that people can sign up for in advance, and when it starts, they compete against a number of other players within their skillrange.
The tournament mode could change every week or depend on the amount of players that signed up, but Round Robin and Single/Double elimination (or both combined) would probably work best, seeing how you can do those with as few as 8 players, but also with 32 or more. Naturally, there could also be "global" tournaments that ignore the skill range and everyone can fight everyone, but I imagine it's more fun for average players to actually have a chance of winning.
As for the price - the normal tournaments could either grant the winner (and to a lesser extent people who make it far) things like a lot of additional rating points or little lobby accessories, while the global ones decide the new owner of the Super Toot, a champion bell
theb elt or something, but you can get crazy with ideas regarding the rewards.
In general I've always preferred the automated tournaments over the ones organized by other players because you have to wait for opponents way longer, have to contact admins, manage your account on their site, etc.
