So one thing that seems to be missing is some organized tournaments. As such, I'm going to start hosting some tournaments through Challonge.Com and see how that goes. It's bound to be a bit rusty at first, but should improve over time. I wasn't sure if we should do regional tournaments or global, but I thought we'd start of global and see how many people sign-up. If a lot do then we can do regional.

The idea is that you communicate with your opponent to arrange a game day / time. This may be challenging with the timezone difference in a global tournament, but hopefully it can work. After the match the winner is disclosed and marked on the bracket.

All skill levels welcomed to start with. Again, if enough people, we can split into skill leagues or something.

Tournament Rules

Tempest Competitive Map - I evaluated all of the competitive maps and this is by far the fairest one. It's under Medium Maps.

All Sub-Factions Allowed - No Wail, No Maw, No Jumping Starbases

No Pirates, Faster Game Speed, Quick Start On

Comments and feedback welcome. Has anyone tried this before? Any suggestions on how it should be run? Other than that, please sign-up using the link above and hopefully we get enough people to give it a try. Over time this will work better with seeding, but I don't know enough of the players to do seeding yet.
