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
Best of luck!

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.

Also, I’m happy to give folks access to the challenge group that I’ve been running these tournaments under, as well. Just shoot me a message.

What’s a challenge group?
https://iyl.challonge.com/ is where all the tournaments that I ran we’re hosted under.

Okay thanks
One thing I just noticed is that Challonge is partnering with some kinda Discord bot for managing tournaments (https://www.tournamentkings.com/). Perhaps tournament management would be easier if we could add that either to the official SG discord, or maybe to the Yomi matchmaking discord.
