i actually like this idea but one problem if we do it this way the battles would take forever.

I really like this idea, I do have to agree it might take a long time though.

Its pretty much the same as a regularly styled tournament except nobody gets eliminated. So the amount of time it would take to finish would be the same as a regular tournament. Let’s say there are 16 people, there will be 4 rounds in a regular style tournament. There can also be 4 rounds in a swiss tournament, you could even make it 3 if you wanted to, so in theory, it could be shorter than a regular styled tournament

Ok I updated the list. And also, I’ll set a deadline on when you can join, after that I’m gonna shoot everyone on the list a PM to verify. Keep in mind that it’s the holidays so I’m taking it kinda slow because I understand that some people have other things to do around this time.
I’m liking the Swiss tourney, I’ll keep that in mind :wink:

Not joining, but just making a suggestion:
A win is worth 2 points.
Tie is worth 1 point
Loss is worth 0 points.
Works for soccer/football tournaments.

If we’re using the Swedish style, I suggest this scoring system.

So it seems like a Swiss style battle it is. My plan is to allow people to enter up until like the 25th or so, and then send out the verification PMs. Once I get a finalized list of participators, I will create some rules like video time limits based on how many rounds we’re going to have. And well continue from there ;D. So pumped
EDIT: The list is Reply #47 on page 4 of this thread
