Hey guys! Bysshe here. I'm going to discuss my thoughts on our currently blossoming Amiibo tournament scene.
The Problem:
We have a lot of people wanting to start a lot of tournaments that are all becoming kind of the same. This is bad for our scene. We want to have focused, driven tournaments that can build our community. Too many will overload newcomers. I have a monthly schedule I think we could stick to that A) gives people a lot of tournament opportunities, and B) won't oversaturate our meta.
The Solution:
I suggest something I am reticently calling The Dojo Tournament League. It's a series of four tournaments a month that promote access, diversity, and training. Here's what I propose.
Weekly:
The Weekly Amiibo Skirmish
Bi-weekly:
Amiibomania
Monthly:
Clash of Champions
And another tournament that should be run by a different person every month. This, I think, should also be a theme tournament. This gives a lot of people a "fun" tournament.
Why these three Regulars:
They're the first ones, clearly established, and already have an accepted rule set. We also know these three tournaments can be run on the schedule proposed.
Quarterly Throwdown:
Every three months, we can have a big tournament with everyone who qualifies by placing 1st or 2nd in any of the monthlies.
Year's End Robin:
If you place first in the Clash of Champions, or first or second in a Quarterly Throwdown, you can qualify for the Robin, where all these people will participate in a Round Robin to find the best amiibo trainer, of the year!
What do y'all think of this? I feel like this gives us all a way to join a bunch of tournaments without having too many randoms popping up.
Of course, I can't stop you from running a tournament if you want to. I just hope that by doing this, we can limit those and give people lots of regulated opportunities to test their amiibo!
