Is there any chance of bringing back the Solo Showdown, or something like it?
(That would be a tournament where everyone picks one character at the start of the tournament, and no switching is allowed -you have to stay on your choice through all your matches. Some bans might be in order.)

Ok, I’ve been a bit lax, but here’s the poll for deciding what November’s tournament will be (I picked Balance Team Battle for the Sept/Oct tournament).
Pick a super: Characters only get one side of their super
Snake Draft: Team draft without teams, and less characters (possibly more bans)
Mixed tier stables: Divide cast into high tier, mid tier and low tier construct a stable with one from each grouping. (I also am heavily in favor of any roster type format allowing changing rosters between opponents. Allows more experimentation as tournament goes on)
if mixed tier wins (which i think it will) I would like to suggest the small change that I had suggested of I’ll make a price for each char you get a salary and make a team off the price
Heyo, we have a winner! December will be Salary Cap Yomi nee Mixed Tier Stables. @mastrblastr, I’m gonna need that tier list from you when you get a chance.
Question: is there any place I can see the rules-summary for each of these tournament types? I happen to know what 19XX and Lum’s Lucky Lottery are, but I’m now sure I know what Persephone’s Pick Your Poison or Lum’s Long Odds are.
There’s not, at the moment, except by looking at old tournament announcements. But, I’ll try and throw together a Tournament Format thread w/ a wiki post for each format, so that we have them.
Well, I’m late again (no surprise there, really). I’ll kick off another Solo Showdown shortly, and then start warming up the crowd for IYL to kick off in March.
Hey, folks. I know I said I would do a Mid-July tournament, but I’ve been thinking, and I think it’s time for me to hang up my TO spurs for a while. I haven’t really had the time to dedicate to it, and the tournaments have suffered for it.
Perhaps when I have a bit more time to invest, I’ll spin some tournaments back up. But hopefully in the meantime, someone like @Nopethebard will be able to take up the mantle and keep things running for folks
I can try. Give me a week or so to figure out what to do with this position, but anyone who wants to offer input is welcome to do so. Also, if there’s someone who wants to do it and has time, I won’t object. I just want to have tournaments, and having multiple TOs is probably for the best anyway.
