Title: Tournament #1211, Wheel of Fortune Tournament #1
Post by: Lancelot on September 07, 2023, 06:25 PM
ae, it's time for a big test for the players

I hope no one gets scared and runs away, but accepts the challenge of fate and plays what luck offers

Oh yeah, dear mr Mod, approve pls.

We can start with 16 players ae  ;)

finally an event where being flexible and having the ability to play multiple schemes on a pro level counts as true skill ;W

I thought a tournament means that the mod schedules a specific day and time for the players and it needs to be done in a single night in one of the channels of wormnet or something? and this surely looks like an event which requires plenty of time to discuss + play (thats why I asked ^.-)

I'm realist. At the present time, it is almost impossible to gather 16 people in one evening

in the end, it depends on the players how interested and ready to play

Tournaments work best and as far as WA is concerned aimed at when all players gather and finish all games on that same day/time.

The only other "Tournament" I know of that holds the event over multiple days is CWT.

This type of thing is better suited to Cups, which are made specifically for players who can't all be in the same place at the same time.

I definitely don't want anyone to start getting the idea that you can sign up for a Tournament, and not even be immediately available.

Good luck though!

If the players can finish their games earlier, why not finish the tournament faster?

It seems to me that the rules for creating tournaments do not specify the time frame for the tournament bracket.

In any case, a tournament is the best option when you want to run test events like this one.

Oh, don't worry, you are within the rules :)

I'm just saying that traditionally speaking, Tournaments are usually an event where players arrive at a day/time, and finish all the matches there and then.

Though to be fair... I'm curious if this type of Tournament would catch on, because I have some ideas for this!

I will be grateful to everyone who will help spread the news about the new tournament. Thank you

I'll wait a week, then I'll decide whether to hold the tournament.

This idea deserves 16 people to play.

But if I don't get support from WA community, it will be extremely sad.
With further conclusions regarding the creation of competitions on TUS :(

don't lose interest + be discouraged so easily Lancy. you make nice and original ideas, that's what matters : ) the lack of players in such events shows another sign..

12 or 16 would be nice to start with

4 days left.

If I don't get 16 people, I will close the tournament.

I'm not interested in running a partial tournament where tournament rounds are skipped.
I'm looking for really interested players to play a random scheme.

If there are no such players on tus, then there is no point in doing anything here. I will consider the community dead in advance, which in fact it is.

Or, make it with 8 players and kick all the players who joined after #8?

This idea is worthy of a big tournament, or it is worthy of nothing.   :(

I'm really tired of the low activity on TUS. Perhaps they are deliberately ignoring me.
Doesn't matter, really.

To be honest, I'm tired of this. Maybe I should end my activity here and play for fun, like most players do  :(

u seem to be impatient + frustrated in this matter Lancy, any plus activity is worth giving here for the better part of the community ofc.. so I'd still ask you to keep hosting this, even if it start with 12 players. finally not an IQ-high team17 or big rr cup ::)

Manage your expectations and you will be less disappointed.

8 or 12 people in a cup or a tournament is still a win considering the current activity of WA.

The current activity has been more or less the same as it always been
https://steamcharts.com/app/217200#All

Wait for the 12th or 16th person. It's not over if it can't be reached. You're still doing an Important job here. :)

Well, maybe someone can hold this tournament with less ambitions that I have in this regard.

The tournament will close in the evening due to lack of players

Tournaments can get started without enough players. So you can start this tournament with 11 players anyway.

You can ban my account, you can prevent me from making cups and tournaments, I won't mind, but I'm not going to host a tournament with 11 players.

I spent time on the idea, on its implementation, on thinking about the details. I expected that active players on TUS would support mе. But as it turns out, not everyone wants to do this.
I don't want to waste time on a tournament with big ambitions, but I see only a small part of those who want to play here, who want to see some new ideas. It's sad, but we have to accept the fact that WA is gradually dying out

I don't mind helping with moderation, I don't mind putting ideas in good hands, but the original idea of the tournament was for 16 players to participate. This is a fairly small number, but nevertheless, I don’t see this number of players here either

I will stick to my opinion

if you can stream the draw, it will turn out better than what I planned here.

The tournament is closed due to owner's request.


Ones who still enthusiastic about its format can host their own cup/tournament.
