Would people be down for weekly one-day tournaments? I'm thinking Sundays at the afternoon or early evening (ET). It would be first-come first-serve for sign up, except the top 2 of the previous week would not need to sign up unless they don't want to.
The times it would take up using certain formats are listed below. The time shown is the amount it takes is if you were to partake in all matches, so it mostly affects the top 3 (for double elimination):
95 minutes (1 hour 35 min): 8 players only, double elimination, best of 3
110 minutes (1 hour 50 min): 16 players only, double elimination, best of 3
95 minutes (1 hour 35 min): 32 players only, single elimination, best of 3
All of them will be 1v1 / 2 stocks / 5 min / no items.
And stages would be whatever is popular with tournaments (Battlefield, Final Destination, Yoshi's Island, & Lumiose City so far).
Thing to note, ! forgot about doing best of 5 for winners final, losers final, and grand finals when calculating the time and was too lazy to to redo it lol. The most it would add is probably 50 min assuming that the loser reset the bracket. Best of 5 would be the format used for those rounds, unless the players agree to go with a best of 3 format due to time or something. And all of the times shown are just time estimates and can be off in either direction.
With the 8 player ruleset, I was thinking we can have multiple small tournaments and use it for seeding or something to place players with people with similar records together. Could be like a mini-league of some sort.
Also would like to have EU, JP, and NA players separate unless lag isn't as much of an issue.
Suggest your own format (number of players, single or double elimination, or best of #) if you want. And leave some feedback or something.
Also, it would be easier if people signed up for Challonge and use its tools.
