I had this idea about regular Tournaments a year ago.
On the 1st of each month, a new Tournament starts, and registration for the next one begins. 12 Tournaments a year. Players who haven't finished previous Tournaments or received technical wins are not eligible for the next one.
Rules - single-elimination bracket. One game.
It's best to alternate the Templates. For example, the Averna Tournament - Sergeant's Balance (December 09). This could be the first in such a series. January - on CM, February - Panic...
One person can't handle everything alone. The Hosts can also alternate - Averna, Loi, Sem, Spirit... There are many active players, so it won't be difficult to coordinate.
Deadlines need to be realistic. Valera, remember your experience hosting Tournaments. Have you ever not extended the deadline, or extended it...? Based on surveys and Tournament experience, 2 weeks per game is better. Games tend to get delayed, and one weekend might not be enough. It's not a problem if 2-3 such Tournaments run in parallel. But the deadlines must be clearly defined after the draw.
If the deadline is 1 week, only those who play a lot and regularly, and are not tied to other Tournaments, will be able to participate. That is, determining the best will again be only among the most active - as in the season.
Prizes can be similar to "Best for Castle" - a userbar for a signature - "Best Player on Balance - Winter 2010." It can be displayed for 3-6 months.
We can organize our own rating based on these Tournaments. I will calculate the Tournament rating when I have some time; it can then be included in the overall rating.
If things go well, we can ask the Creator to create a sub-section for this.
