Lobby-Organized Tournaments

Post by krogothe »

I was thinking how cool it would be if the lobby had a tournament feature, which organized knockout tournaments every so often. With the growing number of spring players im sure that would work out pretty well.
The trick is to not allow random people to simply host tournies else wed get about 20 tournies going on at the same time with 2 people each.

Maybe one every 2-4 hours, for 16 players. Every player would then be able to put 6 ticks on the maps theyd like to play on, and the ones with the most ticks would be chosen, then placed randomly in the different rounds.

Signining up should be straightforward, a few minutes before the start of each tournie the players can tick that they want to play and they get a reminder at the start time.

The real challenge lies in hosting, since it couldnt be done randomly but at the same time there would be the need for someone to do it. Maybe a system where players can veto certain people from hosting or whatever...

Its just an idea, discuss!
