Because of "certain events", is there still hope for a REAL Mr. and Ms. /a/ actually happening or should we just give up? Feel free to discuss.

I'd say give the /a/ moderators the next election year to cool off just to be safe.

BUT, if enough people are serious about this, we need to first and foremost communicate with /a/'s moderation team to get the green light for these things. Second most important thing to do is to make sure to properly retard-proof host candidates. The "flying at the seat of your pants" strategy clearly didn't work for that egotistical fuckhead back there. The guys running the /co/ and /v/ tournaments said they have their hands full with both, so there will have to be new hosts. Finally, we need to settle on a set of rules for an /a/ tourney. How characters are nominated and/or qualified, the amount of competitors, how the bracket is arranged, character limits for franchises, etc.

You're unlikely to get something for some time. But yeah, waiting a year before you even think about trying anything again is probably for the best. For now your one and only "winner" is Suiseiseki.

Something that especially annoys me about that last attempt is I was actually willing to go along with it, up until the halfway new bracket thing, which basically just destroys the tourney format. I do not understand why the "I only take advice worth taking" OP was so insistent on that even after told by several anons it was retarded. And he continued to double down on it later, adding in two new characters in the fucking finals.

I almost wish he would come back to explain what the fuck was going on in his head. Did he just not know about the other board tournaments and how they worked? What drives a man to pull the headache of adding new brackets at random? Why didn't he use Google Forms? Was he just pretending to be retarded, or does he bumble his way through life like a headless chicken? It infuriates me.

I'm willing to host the /a/ tournaments since the other tard fucked it up, but just like the other anons said I think it's better to wait a year so that the jannies don't shoot us on sight.

If anyone has any proper ideas or plans to suggest then go right ahead. We have all the time in the world until we try again for next year.

For starters, maybe not host it as close to the other ones. If memory serves me right, the /co/ tournaments start around september-october, and the /v/ tournaments are around november-december. I was thinking somewhere around march-april for the /a/ tournaments, to give some distance to the other ones while avoiding The Newfag Summer

I don't think barring Guts will go well with the majority of /a/ since SaiGar 2007 was done so far long ago and had a different ruleset from the modern King/Queen tourneys we're used to (females being allowed in 2007 for example).

Also I have a question since this tourney won't even be able to get off the ground until we get approval from the mods, who are the current moderators that frequent /a/ that we can ask?

That one was on 2chan. It’s still part of the lineage (SaiMoe inspired SaiGar, which alongside the Hunger Games threads that got shitcanned around that time inspired Ms. /co/ 2018 which sparked the current batch of tournaments), but it’s more like a side tournament as it’s not 4chan proper. Guts is the only 4chan proper winner pre-2018

Question. According to the wiki Saigar 2007 was completed and 2008 got to almost the Elite 8(though only 6 finalists were determined).

So, who were the E8 in 2007(rank them by how close the matches were since I doubt they did runoff) and who were the 6 confirmed and 4 potential Elite 8 in 2008?

Firstly anon is talking about the recent Queen of /a/ botch. Not the original saimoe (I think Yotsuba won that). Secondly:
>It’s still part of the lineage
It isn't. There's a clear new lineage starting at 2018. There's nothing indicating ms. /co/ 2018 was ever inspired by saimoe or saigar or the original host was even aware of it existed. Again, this insistence on connecting a loosely qualified event over a decade prior under a different format and culture that's probably forgotten about or before the time of the vast majority of /a/ now is gay.

I've heard people say it was cited as an inspiration in 2018, we briefly used the old Saimoe wiki as a transitional wiki, and SaiGar is the only pre-2018 tournament on the current wiki.

This is still the simplest solution. Draw him wearing a SaiGar 2007 medal and put him on the judge panel next to the Boardtans and Year 1 winner.

I've never heard of that and there's nothing in the archives about about hosts or OP's saying that. As someone who's followed tourneys since ms. 2018 saimoe/saigar has always been a non-entity. The wiki stuff doesn't really mean anything or that they're the same "lineage," just that they're 4chan tourneys someone decided to add. In fact the few times it was brought up here before it was kind of agreed they didn't have anything to do with newer tourneys.

Pretty much. Even without the big botch, /a/ missed the boat on getting those tournaments; if it didn't happen before Ms. /co/ 2021 then it was never going to happen at all. And not to sound like a purity fag, but step back and consider what this website looks like to the average /a/non, let alone a janny or moderator. An offboard site that runs offsite events and organizes plans on certain 4chan boards. We're basically invaders and no longer primary 4chan culture.

The moderation team on /a/ have already drawn their stance on the matter, if shadowbanning the phrase "queen of /a/" wasn't enough indication. Consider what pestering them on IRC or whatever nebulous realm they dwell in would look like. The /a/ moderation team is belligerent and draconian, but they aren't stupid. I'm 90% sure they're already WELL aware of tourney culture and of /tnt/, and view it as an off topic brigade. There is no negotiation to be made. And if /a/nons made their own tournament, it would just attract the tourneyheads that already exist and basically hijack that hypothetical event. It would never be /a/'s "thing" the same way it is for /co/ and /v/, too much baggage for the idea now. Water is wet, waifufags get mad, and /a/ will NEVER have their own tournament. But we have 2 in /co/ and /v/, and that is enough for me. It's over, but it is what it is.
