Tournament 2 Organization
Posted: Thu Jul 16, 2015 8:47 pm
Hi everyone -
I would like to get started organizing our second ever official tournament.
First, I would like to get your suggestions and opinions on how the tournament should work.
1) Would you like to divide up into leagues?
This way we could run several smaller league tournaments simultaneously, culminating in a big grand finale tournament between the leagues. It would be like the World Series, but with panzers.
2) If you want to do leagues, how should we organize them? By how frequently you can play? By region?
One idea I had is to divide you up by time zones - for example, one league would be North America and South America, another would be Europe/Africa/Middle East, another would be South Asia/Russia, and the final would be East Asia/Australia/Pacific Ocean. This way you could more easily schedule games with your opponents, rather than trying to send turns back and forth with someone twelve hours away. How does this sound?
That way you could have more simultaneous play instead of just PBEM.
3) If you don't want to do it geographically, we could make leagues based on how frequently you can commit to play. One of the problems we had in the last tournament was people who were unable to play as often, so games would end in a default or a draw.
One league would be for once per day players, another for once per week, a third for once per month, etc.
So, everyone please tell me how often you think you could commit to finishing a scenario.
Thanks and I look forward to your responses!
