Make Entertainment Team tournaments timely

[shocked439]

Concise description: Make special event tournaments less complicated so they might be finished before the special event comes around again


Specifics/Details:
I entered into a Christmas Map tournament around christmas and today I received an invite for round 2. By Simplifying the tournaments, or running Multiple official tournaments ( A signles event and a team event at the same time) the tournaments can proceed faster

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
It will make the tournaments more timely and more effective within the community.

I'm afraid that is my fault. I liked the original setup, and apparently severely underestimated the time that it would take to complete. In all reality, though, I don't think it really matters when the tournament ends.

This may be partly why we are accepting applications for the Special Events team.

My suggestion may have come off as a little more dickish than I intended. Yes your tournament was the one that spawned my suggestion. And I honestly love the layout of your tournament. I have seen other official special event mpa tournaments that seem to go on forever too. It seems to me the tournament is for a special event it should end somewhere near the special event too.

Fair suggestion to improve upon mine. I fear my wife my harm me if I spent much more time on here though.

Not at all, shocked. I personally feel the same way too. I'd like this tournament to progress much much faster than it is. The disadvantage to the tournament is that it relies on when games end - not on the organizer himself, so I can only create games as fast as they finish. Then I have to wait for someone to open up the Christmas map for me so I can create the games...It takes longer than I had originally expected.

Seeing what is happening here, I have sure as hell learned my lesson here - I'll keep in mind the length and all of the factors when we're creating new tournaments.
