/tnt/ - Tournaments & Events

>June - Heroes and Villains
How are we going to do 4 tournaments in one month?

>>34155
I HAVE NO IDEA!

>>34152
I wouldn't really call anything up to September common consensus. It's really up to hosts, and their word/schedule's not clear at the moment. Coayynon's kind of waiting for Samaritanon's hero/villain schedule, and Balls just hasn't been around since co-op (or at least said anything). Balls did express interest in /an/ at some point, and Coayynon in /trash/ and /cov/.

There should be at least a fourth host around that isn't Cumnuts or Temp. If Coayynon and Samaritanon managed to host Tag-Team and Co-op effectively without having so much knowledge about the polls I really wonder if hosting is actually less complicated than it's made to be. Of course, we're also talking about a small board like /tnt/ though.

>>34169
Well it’s not that there aren’t willing hosts for things so much, just that there isn’t a big mapped schedule so things won’t overlap or conflict between everyone.

>>34152
thanks for the thread, was gonna rebump the /an/ one but I'll post it here
so what I'm currently thinking is Friday 12th May 7pm est or the next two fridays after that (mostly because I'm busy and the bulk of the work will go over the weekend where I have time so if one week I can't do it we've 2 more chances)

same as always, submit the animal and a picture, 12 votes needed to get in (thought this because of the zodiac having 12 animals)
can be any fauna or flora, currently alive or extinct, probably wanna stay to just the base animal (like so submitting dog would cover all dogs so we don't have to submit every good boy breed in)

>>34155
Top 64 each, 1st placers duke it out in the end

>>34174
That's still 28 days with like one day of breathing room inbetween.

>>34172
Cool. Are you planning this happening on /an/ or here?

>>34180
>>34183
yes, don't see a reason to ask permission since that thread went well, if mods/jannies do delete them I'll then contact them

>>34189
>needing a rigged tournament to even consider winning
Even Nintendo has 2 Queens.

>>34185
Catbros. This is our chance.

>>34152
>2024
>Trio of /co/
Thought that was happening this year

>>34262
Wasn't his spirit animal or something a wolf?

>>34262
I mean, there's plenty of animals with guts.

>>34254
it's replacing tag team

>>34155
>>34174
>>34178
There's no way we'll be able to do 4 tourneys back to back but I MIGHT have a good idea for it.
>Heroes and Villains are combined into one tourney
>Gimmick is that, alongside the normal nomination procedures, you have to list if your character is a villain or hero
>Heroes and Villains are separated into different voting sections
>instead of top 128 it's the respective top 64s for the two teams
>series limit is bumped down to two but not universally, just for the individual brackets (meaning if you play cards right then you can have 4 characters from a single series make it)
>No idea if seeding should be randomized or normal but one side gets flipped so it's top hero seed versus top villain seed
thoughts?

>>34292
If you're saying one side of the bracket for heroes and one for villains, that's dumb and defeats the purpose other than the finale will be a hero vs. a villain. Heroes and Villains should be seperate events.

>>34293
>one side of the bracket for heroes and one for villains
heavens no!
I mean like say Knuckles gets voted into first place for the Heroes side of the poll, he'd be going up against Pot of Greed from Yu-Gi-Oh! who got 1st place in the Villains side of the poll. Then in the next round whoever won that goes up against the victor of the 64 hero seed / 64 villain seed match

>>34292
No, both should be like the Queen and King tournaments, except Heroes & Villains instead of Female & Male.

>>34292
>>34297
ehhh nah. Still kind of defeats the point.

>>34298
>>34308
well do you guys have any better ideas?

>>34319
Just have two of them at the same time :)

>>34320
but how would that work?

>>34332
Just two threads, have each round be two days instead of one.

>>34334
I guess that could work...
but what months would they be hosted in?

>>34364
That just depends on the hosts, they are the ones who decide the dates.

>>34292
That's just tag team / co-op with a theme

>>34172
should I or someone else make a thread on /an/ so it's not just us appearing out of nowhere?

>>34480
If you're going to announce it happening, then yes.

>>34481
threads up
https://boards.4channel.org/an/thread/4508901

>>34172
>may 12th
Huh, a tourney already? Guess I'll have to get off my ass and work again on that bot earlier than I thought. The AI model will be worthless there since it only recognises names of people/corporations/businesses but the /an/ tourey would be a fine place to test the underlying logic.
And also the vote graphing program should you release that data.

I'd be willing to do /cov/ and /trash/ on this schedule. Still don't know samaritanon's heroes/villains schedule though.

>>34580
/cov/ should be easy pissy if we do it here. For /trash/, the jannies barely even exist so there's literally nothing to worry about hosting there.

>>34502
this thread is surprisingly slow. I remember the one back in February being more lively

>>34769
I'm waiting to hear back from someone and then I'll reveal the timer/date we can start, that should help

>>34769
Well /an/ is a slow board

>>34832
The hell? Last I checked it was on par with /aco/.

>>34832
>/b/ isn't in the top 5 most popular boards

damn.

>>34832
>the fucking /vt/ board in the top 5
lmao

>>34881
well that's what happens when you let a fun board get overrun with coombrains

I'm curious is this is setting a yearly schedule standard of sorts or if there's gonna be a new lineup or lack of one next year. Basically how many of these are gonna be one time things.

Any thoughts on this recent tournament idea
>>34381

>>35084
I'd participate in it

>>34685
That of course would be the plan. After /an/ I can probably set the specific dates.

>>35205
Will Heroes and /v/illains or /cov/ happen first?

>>35206
Don't know. Heroes/villains schedule is still up to samaritanon. I'd definitely do /cov/ after June. Date can be malleable.

>>35205
Gonna prepare before July then.

>>34152
This might overwork the hosts and I don't know if there's time for this, but maybe we try doing two tournaments a month. It's now almost impossible to do one tournament a month before the main events start even if we just did the heroes and villains tournaments. Since we are very /v/ heavy right now, we should focus on the /v/ tournaments first. In June, maybe heroes in the first half and /v/illains in the second half then the same for /co/ in July and /cov/ and /trash/ in August if that's possible with the hosts' schedules.

>>35317
I think it needs to be figured out first if samaritanon's even around. He's the guy that took the reins for the heroes/villains stuff and he's just been silent for months.

>>35319
When should we start panicking?

>>35324
immediately like always

>>35319
Can Ballsanon or Coayynon try to contact him?

>>35335
I can shoot him an e-mail. Don't know if he checks that one though.

So the original plan was /cov/ first friday July and /trash/ first friday August but seems like the new scheduling of heroes/villains conflicts heavily and would need a major squeeze. Might not do them now, or just wait next year post-main tourney's.

>>36354
Wasn't Heroes and Villains in June?

>>36425
They can't all be done in June, and the rough schedule for it as I was informed will involve parts of July and August.

>>36446
Oh okay.
Could always do one or both in September, since there's nothing interesting happening that month :^)

>>36446
I admire your dedication for these tournaments, even if they aren't the main ones you, Samaritanon and Balls have managed to keep me more interested on these.

>>36447
yeah the 3 weeks inbetween main tournaments could be the best time to do these since they're also /co/-/v/ relevant

>>36456
Thanks, it's fun trying to make stuff happen.
>>36479
samaritanon actually suggested /cov/ could be done October between /co/ and /v/ tourney's. I don't know if I'll be available then and my idea was having it post tag team and co-op, but I can consider that.

>>36547
I guess the /trash/ tournament will have to wait after all. However, I understand the pressure knowing Ms. /aco/ is also approaching after Ms. /co/.

Guess this would be a good time to discuss this.
Thoughts on limiting the nomination round to 5 threads only?

>>36957
We still have to consider timezones and people being busy. When it comes to the characters that actually have a chance, someone has to nominate them. The fluff is something we unfortunately have to deal with.

>>36959
>We still have to consider timezones and people being busy.
Don't have the threads immediately one after another. instead have them at certain time intervals.
That would mean one every 4.8 hours & threads usually last 1-2 hrs

okay so as suggested here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1dWYRj3b5p9ydoLhFaIO3MfFfFZsAjGIxcqjdwlETeGQ/viewanalytics
we've obtained a few tournament ideas, doesn't mean they'll necessary happen or done by me but here they are
>jobbers tournament
>politicians of /pol/
>four board showdown between /co/, /v/, /a/ and /tv/
>/tv/ tournament
>tournaments for words, series, vehicles and periodic elements
>/v/ Heroes and /co/ Heroes power hour combination
>robots
>tournament for all boards
>/fit/ Boss of This Gym tournament

>>37189
>>37195
I'm seconding this.

>we’ve had a T. rex in first, second and third place now
Why not just have a T. rex tournament?

>>37189
>four board showdown between /co/, /v/, /a/ and /tv/
>tournament for all boards
we need these

>>37189
>/v/ Heroes and /co/ Heroes power hour combination
Is that different from /cov/?

>>37223
honestly these 2 interest me the most, we'll have to see
>>37225
it does seem redundant since we're already having a /co/ /v/ crossover, after heroes is done for both /co/ /v/ you could do a hungergames or something similar with both teams

>>37225
>>37263
Dude who submitted it, here to clarify that it's not just /cov/ 2.0
It's the idea of combining /co/ heroes and /v/ heroes (and vice versa for villains) to make more space & save the hosts from overworking. It'd also give more OC material for the actual /cov/ tournament
It's kind of pointless now since we seem to be going with all 4 being separate but I didn't' have an idea for anything else to write so eh it was worth a shot

>>37189

>jobbers tournament

I'm guessing this is /biz/ or something?

>politicians of /pol/

Considering this is /pol/, this sounds like a terrible idea.

>four board showdown between /co/, /v/, /a/ and /tv/

Sounds fun and original but I don't know, the tournament could drag on even longer than the hero/villain tournaments unless we find something to limit the numbers of each matches. Speaking of with, how many matches could this have?

>/tv/ tournament

Sounds good.

>tournaments for words, series, vehicles and periodic elements

Whoever came up with this is just shitting out anything from their autistic brains and couldn't make a decent tournament.

>/v/ Heroes and /co/ Heroes power hour combination

So just like the anon who came up with it said, it's a crossover 1-on-1 tournament with both /co/ and /v/ characters. Sounds like a great idea and I can see the potential OCs being made here. So yeah, sounds like a fun idea.

>robots

/m/ or /g/? I don't know which one.

>tournament for all boards

Is this supposed to be /trash/ tourney?

>/fit/ Boss of This Gym tournament

Looks really based.

Btw, anything on DTVA Tourney or Lord and Lady /lit/?

>>41792
>Sounds fun and original but I don't know, the tournament could drag on even longer than the hero/villain tournaments unless we find something to limit the numbers of each matches. Speaking of with, how many matches could this have?
I suggested it while also saying that the number of contestants per team could be 64 instead of 128, having in total 256 characters. The tournament would end when one team is left standing, not necessarily one character, making it potentially shorter. However, each round the bracket is randomized so that characters fight off against characters from other teams, only fighting others from their team if they outnumber the others.

>>41798

So it's more of a survival battle then? So will matches shrink down in numbers depending on how many characters there are left?

>>41806
Yeah, it's essentially like a regular tournament, except there's four team.
The amount of matches is as much as a tourney with 256 characters would have, except the tourney could end earlier, since the winner is a team and not just a character.

>>41808
I like the team aspects but that sounds like it'd lead into heavy spite-esce voting once we get into the later rounds. Like voting for Spunchbop to advance not because we like him but because he's the only /co/ rep left

>>41816
All tourneys are going to have people voting for the wrong reasons.

>>41808

I think I recommend like 296 characters with 74 matches since it looks like matches could shrink by 10 each seven rounds.

>>41818
what

>>41819

I meant that in each tournament rounds, matches will drop by 10 until at the very end where they're now like 4 of them.

>>41823
Then that's completely different than the usual tourney. I think it's better to keep the tourney working similarly to the others.

>>41825

Oh okay, so I guess all rounds will have the same number of matches then since it's survival.

Also, I think each team should get the same amount of characters so to make things fair, how many do you think they will have for each team?

>>41833
I said 64 instead of 128, a total of 256 characters.

Okay, here's the summary (correct me if I'm wrong):

>July - /v/illains
>August - Heroes/Villains /co/
>September - Mr/Ms /co/ and /aco/
>October - /cov/ and king/queen /v/
>November - Tag-Team
>December - Co-op

Here are my biggest guess for some future tournaments (keep in mind, these are just suggestions):

>January - Trio of /co/ (and maybe a Trio of /v/ if successful)
>February - /tv/ tournament
>March - /a/ tournament of sorts
>April - Four board showdown between /co/, /v/, /a/ and /tv/
>May - Lord/Lady /lit/ and DTVA Tourney

As for the /Trash/ tournament, I say we should experiment with some new ideas first before we try that.

>>41852
We don't control the main tournament days. Ms. /co/ will still be in September, Mr. /co/ will still be in October, Queen will still be in November, and King will still be in December.

>>41853

Ah okay, so I could say that September is /aco/, October is /cov/, November is Tag-Team, and December is Co-op. Do I got that right?

>>41854
No confirmed dates besides /aco/ being said to happen after Ms. /co/ in September. I don't see why we wouldn't do Co-op around the same time as last year just without as long of a delay. Same with Tag-Team without disaster this time. January and Feburary are perfect for them.

>>41852
I plan to start Heroes of /co/ in a month, on the 28th of July. Villains on August 18th if I can (might be away for the end of August, if I am then I'll postpone them until after Ms. /co/ since I definitely don't want to run a side tourney concurrently with a main one)

IIRC Coayy was interested in /cov/ so even if I get burnt out it's likely happening, we just don't know when exactly. I was also under the impression that this year's Tag-Team was going to be the Trio tourney. And I don't wanna plan ahead of that so far.

>>41792
I assumed the jobbers tournament would just be jobbers from all the tournaments we've had which wouldn't be enough for a full on tournament really

>>41852
I really can't speak for my availability after summer other than I'm setting myself to do /aco/ the week after ms. /co/ per tradition and because it's a good way to garner traction for it. I'd like for /cov/ and /trash/ to happen at some point regardless. I also proposed running the DTVA thing before but yeah that's an iffy one with the anons here.

>>41883
Instead of DTVA it should be something for Disney in general like: King/Queen of Disneyland or something

>>41857

I can see what you mean on Co-op, but Tag-Team? The one we have this year was supposed to be on 2022 but due to fuck-ups with the host, we were forced to start it on January.

>>41866

I say we should keep Tag-Team for the time being. Trio of /co/ should be treated like an experiment of sort and if successful, we could allow the tournament to take over Tag-Team (and maybe Co-op as well).

Tournament idea:
who gets to kiss goku's wife?
funpost tournament, anyone or anything can enter

>>48999
Could be funny.
>Tourney last a day. Entire Rounds last 2 hours
>First 64 characters come first served. Series limit of 1
>Maybe do the Queen MLP thing where digits decide who moves on
Might try to host it myself if I have the time.

>>49110
>Goku somehow wins it and has to kiss Chi-chi
Imagine

So with Ms. /co/ happening Sept. 1st, this would place Ms. /aco/ for Sep 15th (the Friday after ms. /co/ ends).

So it looks like the next few months might be pretty jam-packed.
>ms. /co/ a few days after villains
>/aco/ a few days after ms. /co/
>mr. /co/ a few days after /aco/
>/cov/ a few days after mr. /co/
>Qo/v/ a few days after /cov/

Okay, so no more Heroes and Villains after this tourney right? I feel it caused a ton of confusion for the main boards for some reason, thinking we're trying to force more tourneys. Plus I personally wanna focus on on more unique stuff like the /trash/ tourney that was supposed to happen before the Heroes and Villains projects were announced

>>57736
I think that's fair, would be boring otherwise if we only did variants of /co/ and /v/ forever
besides I read that thread, there's not gonna be a divide if I can help it

What about a /ck/ tournament?

>>55434
And tag team (assuming it's happening) traditionally falls the same time or a few days after Ko/v/.

>>57759
it's a neat idea but believe it or not /ck/ have had a few, well not tournaments, but the best burger for example
still, don't see any harm in making a thread there at some point

>>57791
The tournaments I saw were only about specific foods/brands like what you mentioned. This one would be the best food in general. Maybe an aspiring host could give it a shot.

So I had a few ideas for what we could do in 2024. I've been reading that tourneys for more boards have been requested more, but obviously we don't wanna jump right in. Also, I feel that we should give people a breather, especially considering tackling FOUR tourneys in rapidfire wasn't the best idea. So I propose:

>January = /cov/
>February = /trash/
>June = /a/
>July = /tv/

Another thing I'd like to propose is that the /a/ and /tv/ tourneys represent all instead of one for girls, one for dudes. Not just to prevent burnout, but also because if they end up on /tnt/ instead of their actual boards, we could still have a lot more discussion going on. The H&V tourneys could be fun, but they got way less vocal as they progressed, and I feel that separation had to do with that alongside /tnt/'s obscurity.

>>59282
/cov/ has basically been scheduled for October, between the /co/ and /v/ tourney's. January may be reserved for tag team, can't really tell how that will fit yet unless it overlaps with Ko/v/ again. There's also co-op.

>>55091
>>59289
Okay, so these two posts gave me a good idea for the schedule:

>Ms. /co/ = Sept. 1st
>Ms. /aco/ = Sept. 15th
>Mr. /co/lympus = Oct. 6th
>/cov/ = Oct. 20th
>Qo/v/ = Nov. 3rd
>Ko/v/ = Dec. 1st

>>59289
I would rather have tag team in January then co-op maybe the next month.

Is anyone interested in a /lit/ tournament?

I made a thread about that a few months ago so I wonder how would it work.

>>59312
Thing is tag is meant to happen December and was only done January this year cause Temp's scheduling issues but it went down as "tag team 2022". So if its going January either we skip a year or just make it a tradition to have it a month after its intended year. Or just do away with the year tagging cause it was never a necessary formality anyways. Just call it tag team 5th edition or something.

>>59334
Shown by even just Heroes and Villains of /v/, having two tournaments in the same month can really burn people out. A duos tournament like tag team requires double the effort so doing it a month after King instead of trying to squeeze it at the same time or after it seems fair. How we would deal with the title we could leave up to the host.

>>59344
>having two tournaments in the same month can really burn people out.
For those that participate in each and every tourney. Mind /tnt/ is full of tourneyheads that go after every one. To a casual voter base of whatever a tourney is targeting it’s maybe doable.

>>59282
/a/ definitely needs two tournaments, and should either be in January/February or June/August so they're adjacent to the main tournaments. I don't know how they would be hosted in the first place though.

>>59347
It can still burn out the host and Psyanon if he shows up. I think seperating them by months would be for the best, especially the duos tournaments that require double the work.

>>59417
There's different hosts for different tournaments m8.

>>59430
Samaritanon helps and worked on at least 5 of them.

>>59306
This was basically the plan, having /aco/ and /cov/ in the proper gap in between (friday after the end, hopefully ending sunday before the next main one).
Some stuff I wanted to do earlier in the year (/trash/, /cov/, and maybe something else) but the wait for heroes/villains followed by its eventual scheduling moved it.
I like the a lot of the proposed ideas, like /tv/, /lit/, t/trash/ (still) and an /a/ tourney. Maybe try these out in the spring/early summer. Possibly get a new host to try some.
As for tag team and co-op I assume these'll go down in the winter months again. Tag team traditionally fell on December but it's looking more practical to make it a January thing. There's no fixed places as to whose hosting these but I'm willing to try them again, don't know about the others. And if tag would still be referred to by year I'm not sure - would like maybe Ball's are Samaritanon's input there if they wanna work on it.

>>59637
I'll have to see how I feel after king /v/ if its worth doing tag-team in December or letting it stay in January, whenever king happens we might have tournament fatigue or it'll go into the holidays
speaking of stuff like /lit/ or /tv/, if the anons who came up with them want to host them (since they're probably understanding of the board culture) I might be interested in assisting

Heroes and Villains have been fun, but they've been the subject of fatigue, and they've not been quite vocal.

I have a suggestion on how to have only two tourneys instead of four. There are two ways this could be done:

First way is to have what I call Good /v/s Evil for /v/, and /co/od vs. Evil for /co/. How this works is that the top 64 heroes and top 64 villains each get their own poll. An additional true final round is added so the winning hero and winning villain duke it out.

The second way is to have Heroes and Villains from all of entertainment allowed in their respective tournaments. Heroes from all over /a/, /co/, /tv/ and /v/, and Villains from all over as well.

Either way would not only make them much more vocal, but would also decrease burnout ten-fold.

>>60044
Both sound like bad ideas. Mixing boards will create issues with deciding outcomes. Someone already gave a good example with Spongebob that what if most of the /co/ characters get wiped out and people vote for Spongebob just because he's the last one left. Mixing the Heroes and Villains tournaments just does what some people feared about these becoming smaller versions of the main events, just both genders.

>>60047
I see. Well I suppose the next best thing would have to be spacing them out. Instead of a summer break mosh pit, I say

>Heroes 1 = Mid-March
>Villains 1 = Mid-April
>Heroes 2 = Late-June
>Villains 2 = Mid-July

>>60049
That's slotting up the entire year then with no room for new tourneys if you factor tag and co-op happening in January/February.

>>60050
With how many tourneys there are, some are just going to have to overlap eventually. Not every one is going to be massive either. /an/ was pretty slow.

>>60050
Oh! I've one more idea!

I remember with one of the tourneys we did Nominations and Qualifiers first and did the real thing later. That's what we do: We have a week of Noms and Qualifiers for the four tourneys in...we'll say Spring break, then we do it in the Summer like we just did, but since we took care of the entry rounds already, we're still decreasing burnout!

or maybe just stop trying to make Heroes and Villains a yearly thing? It's just too big to try to fit in again. We had the scrub the original plan for summer to makeway for it

>>60056
>the original plan
Which was?

>>60053
>some are just going to have to overlap eventually.
Isn't the whole point of this planning so that doesn't happen and there's no "burnout"?

>>60058
Trash tourney & a new king and queen for a board (I think we settled on /tv/)

>>60054
We could cut them down to 64 also though that could be controversial.
>>60060
There's not even enough months for every tournament we have so far.
>>60056
We voted on it so it's at least coming back next year.

>>60064
Samaritanon himself expressed wanting to shorten the heroes/villains. And it's kind of unfair for it to permanently slot half the off-season when other concepts were already pushed back for it this year.

>>60061
Wait! This gives me an idea! How about each year, we only do Heroes and Villains for just one board? I propose for 2024 we do /a/ in spring break!

Guys you and your ideas are giving me AIDS...

Alright so just to lay out the most seemly plan right now
>Ms. /co/ - Sep. 1
>Ms. /aco/ - Sep. 15
>Mr. /co/ - early Oct.
>/cov/ - late Oct.
>Qo/v/ - early Nov.
>Ko/v/ - early Dec.
>Tag - Jan.
>Co-op - ~Feb.
>some new board tourney's - March through May/June
>Heroes/Villains - ~July/August

>>60150
If you're doing the /cov/ tournament can you move it to be after Queen/King /v/ so the former isn't disruptive to the latter, ie people shilling against a character because its presence during a side tournament
Normally this isn't an issue, like I've never seen people shill against Jack Skellington because he already won a tag team but when it's only a couple weeks prior I could see it resulting in spitefagging or other general faggotry

>>60150
I don't think /cov/ should happen during the main tournaments, it works for Ms./aco/ due to it being much simpler but I think /cov/ should happen later, either before or after Co-op.

>>59637
I could help with Tag-Team. Right now I think I'm in favor of holding it closer to January.
>>60044
>>60066
Yes, if at all possible, I would like to make it so that the next Heroes and Villains, whenever they happen, take up less time and are maybe contained to 2 tournaments instead of 4. The 64 vs 64 bracket idea is interesting, though a lot of picks would be left out in that case.

>>60238
Thoughts >>60047 and ideas on how to balance these fears?

>>60238
>Though a lot of picks would be left out in that case
True, but I feel that could also help with quality control, and getting rid of the smaller stuff. I'm all for obscure picks, but sometimes people will nominate actual nobodies just for kicks.

Okay, I have the solution for Tag-Team 2023 and some planning with /cov/ 2023.

For Tag-Team, we should host it on Dec 29 since it's closer to January and it's in the middle of winter break so we won't have to deal silent picks and such. The tournament will still be called 2023 because it's only a few days before 2024 arrives.

As for /cov/, I personally don't really want it to delayed for three reasons. One, alot of us have our teams set-up right now and all of that planning would be wasted once it gets delayed. Two, the main tournaments can be incredibly stressful for most of us and frankly, we really deserve a much more calmer tournament to get the stress out of our systems. Third and most importantly, starting a 2023 tournament next year wouldn't make any sense (Tag-Team was understandable because of the original host's fuck-ups). However if there's really a strong need for a delay, late November or January would be the closet months to start instead.

>One, alot of us have our teams set-up right now and all of that planning would be wasted once it gets delayed
I don't see how that would do anything, I've got my teams ready whenever the tourney arrives.
>Two, the main tournaments can be incredibly stressful for most of us and frankly, we really deserve a much more calmer tournament to get the stress out of our systems
This is exactly why I think it being between two main tournaments is a BAD idea, not only are they stressful, but they might also take attention away from the tournament (like the ending of Villains of /co/). The main tourneys are bigger, so people may prefer to relax (i.e. not being in a tournament) or get ready and make something for Queen /v/, not to mention /cov/ being teams of two mean more effort.
>Third and most importantly, starting a 2023 tournament next year wouldn't make any sense
It... simply would be called /cov/ 2024? The first one doesn't exist, this will be the first actual one, meaning date doesn't matter.

I think it should be pushed back to be either before or after Co-op, where people would have calmed down from the main tournaments and be ready to support their teams fully. It may be a smaller tournament, but two characters is still more work for people.

>>61899

>The first one doesn't exist, this will be the first actual one, meaning date doesn't matter.

There already is a /cov/ tournament back in 2022, so this isn't the first one.

>I think it should be pushed back to be either before or after Co-op

So January then? Co-op starts somewhere in February and hosting /cov/ sometime in January would be a good idea since it's the start of the new year and there's a big open space which is why I choose it along with November.

>>61915
>There already is a /cov/ tournament back in 2022
As I said, that one doesn't exist. We ignore its existence due to how it turned out.
>So January then?
If Tag-Team is in January (no, starting it the last day of December doesn't make it in December), then either have /cov/ or Co-op in February and the other in March. People need breaks, they should be spaced out enough.

>>61948

January still has a huge open space to host at least one tournament; Tag-team would end in Jan 7 if the plan gets accepted so it's possible to host /cov/ much later in the month (as in two weeks after TT ends) while Co-op could be hosted more later within February.

We shouldn't host a recurring tournament in March because we have to give more newer ones like /tv/ or /lit/ a try, so I don't think it's a good idea to put either one for March; that would sound much more overwhelming than it is.

>>62027
Tag in January
Co-op in Feb
/cov/ could maybe be March then.
Leaves like three months for assumingly three new tourneys.
But looking at the /his/ tourney right now one could really just start one on the fly anytime.

>>62027
If Tag Team were to start at the 29th of December, I could see /cov/ or Co-op start the 29th of January and the other the 28th of February. Give people a break to relax and/or get prepared for the next.
>We shouldn't host a recurring tournament in March because we have to give more newer ones like /tv/ or /lit/ a try
You know there's April, May, June, July and August; that's plenty of time for other potential tournaments.

>>62030

Okay, this sounds perfect.

Frankly, I think it would make sense to host /cov/ between Tag-Team and Co-op since the reason /cov/ was to be hosted between the main tournaments of /co/ and /v/ because it's a crossover between the two. However, we always host tournaments on Fridays so 26th of January is the perfect date and 23th of February would be the start of Co-op.

One anon says we should start the new tournaments by March and all the way to June which by this point, it's a fair point because we're getting more and more ideas recently so we need to extend the months.

>>62049
Hosting tag at the end of very end 2023 going into 2024 is kind of dumb. And tourney's should ideally happen at the beginning or middle of the month to make a clear delineation.

>>62051

The host's idea for placing Tag-Team near January was because of last year's Tag-Team was set in the same month (due to the original host messing it up) but at the same time, we don't want to place it much on January since it was originally on December.

Plus, King ends in Dec 10th so hosting Tag-Team too early after that would be too much for anons.

Okay, so based on recent discussion:

>Tag-Team = January 5th
>Co-Op = February 2nd
>/tv/ = March 1st/April 5th
>Good vs. Evil (Entry Rounds) = May 24
>Toon vs. Evil = June 21st
>Good /v/s Evil = July 12th

>>62362
Why a giant gap after April? I think smaller heroes and villains tournaments would play out better than combining them. At that point, they're unisex Ms/Mr and King/Queen split by morality. There were already concerns we were just making replacements for the main tournaments during them in stealth threads.

>>62364
But then again, I also think the finale could be hype.

>>62362

I think it's best we delay Heroes and Villains until we find a proper solution to handling them. Instead, /trash/ and Trio of /co/ should be hosted on June-August.

>>62362
Is this still going on the assumption /cov/'s happening October? Cause it could fit in here March, with /tv/ (or something like it) in April.

>>62364
Why the gap? Simple, the biggest problem with the heroes and villains tourneys was the fact that there were FOUR of them with only a week to breathe each. This is to help prevent burnout.

>>62364
>I think smaller heroes and villains tournaments would play out better than combining them
I can understand your concern, but I say that this would make campaigns and RPing an absolute blast.

>>62362
>>62364
>>62374
Actually, you do have a point, that is too big of a timeframe, and by the time the main game begins we've lost some vocality already (y'know, what the GvE plan is TRYING TO PREVENT). So let's say, should it happen:

>Toon vs. Evil = June 7th
>Good /v/s Evil = July 5th

>>62376
Okay but what about the bigger gaps February-May? Can you address >>62369

>>62369
Yep. The burnout only comes from /tnt/, not the big leagues.

>>34152
>Trio of /co/
>2024
I hope it will be ok, although I expected it to be at the end of this year, but ok. I think that would be fun to see.

>>41852
>>60150
Co-op? Is it a competition of the best trio or quadro team of /co/ or something else?

>>62387
Yeah, what’s co op?

>>62387
>>62388
Co-op like gaming. It's /v/'s Tag-Team. We did one this year.

>>62391
I understand. Thanks for the explanation!

>>62376
Also, let's say only Toon vs. Evil's entry rounds happen in May. /v/'s entry round will happen June 28-29.

>>62391
In two, three or four? Or all together?

>>62626
You pair two characters together and give them a team name. For example, one of the teams that made it to Elite Eight was Law and Order, which was Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth from Ace Attorney.

>>62628
If that happens I would not hesitate to nominate Surtha Ek, would be a funny way to meme about and also represent Total Warhammer without having to go for one of the OC Legendary Lords.

>>62628
I'd rather take that over another Heroes and Villains provided it could be hosted on /vst/ and wouldn't fuck with Queen and King.

So the recent /aco/ got a lot of people excited for the idea of a male and female /trash/ (trashman and trashwoman I guess). This is assumingly on top of the free-for-all /trash/ tourney that was long-planned. Maybe this could be one of the new tourney's the first half of next year?

>>63549
I'd be down for that.

Don't forget the mascot tournament on /sp/.

>>63791
Not against it, but that shit would be more barren than the Heroes of /co/ finals

>>63549
The free-for-all tournament should move to /b/, thus easing the plan of creating at least one tournament for each 4chan board.

>>63895
/b/ is actual trash, no.

>>63895
Hell no, that's a poor replacement for a tournament on every single board.

>>63895
Besides the fact /b/ anon's are giga retarded it would be way too fast.

>>63899
Ehh. Modern Day /b/ is actually rather slow funnily enough. Infact I think /v/ is actually faster nowadays

>>63924
It has a lower bump and image limit though.

Updated schedule:
>Tag-Team = January 5th
>/cro/sso/v/er= February 2nd
>Co-Op = March 1st
>/tv/ = April 5th/May 3rd
>/clash/ = June 7th

I don't know what we'll do with the Good vs. Evil tourneys.

>>63929
>/clash/
What's this exactly? /trash/?
Also there doesn't have to be a month long gap April/May. /lit/'s, /m/ and /fit/ have been in the air for a long time. Also of course there's some /tnt/ experiments like /a/ heroes/villains and DTVA.

>>63935
It’d be nice to see an /m/ tournament happen.

>>63935
Yeah, /clash/ is the name I came up with for the /trash/ tourney. Also the gap is because we haven't unanimously agreed on what to do with /a/ or GvE.

>>63929

So are we going to have a Trio of /co/ and 3-player /v/ somewhere between June-July?

>>64277
Way too few trios to warrant it at all. If you ask me, /clash/ should allow duos and trios so we get it both ways. It IS a free-for-all, as they're saying.

>>64308
It should allow whatever. 1,000,000 people? The whole nation of Israel? sure.

>>63929
the mods on /tv/ finally agrees on making a tournament?

>>64344
I'm sure mods could be easy to deal with. This AND /clash/ were gonna happen LAST year, but H&V happened instead.

>>64353
THIS*

>>64308
>Way too few trios to warrant it at all.
WRONG! There is much more, you just need to be imaginative and connect it in three. But enough for qualification and rounds! I can list 200 fictitious trios for you.

I wanna make having an /a/ side tourney top priority.

>>64392
Okay, so: W/a/ifu and Husbando. Happening on April and June, since those are HUGE months for the anime industry. This means /tv/ happens on May and July, and /clash/ in August.

>>64400
I was thinking more a heroes/villains variant. The actual male and female tourney wouldn't feel right outside of /a/ itself.

>>64403
Absolutely! I suppose this means no GvE but that's probably for the best. Now we need a few people to help run it. I might be able to do the polls for the actual fights but not the entry rounds, given my job. I also say it starts on March 29th cause that's when spring break starts, at least over here.

>>64392
I agree, it's about time we've had an /a/ tourney.

So are we still doing the crossover on Friday or are we waiting for February?

>>64488
Do you really want CHAD CHAD JOB JOB filling every post so much?

>>64551
I think it's pretty much confirmed to happen early next year.
>>64552
yes

>>64552
Yes.

I'm starting to agree with distributing the main tournaments year-round rather than shoving them all in September to December. Not only to alleviate the wait of an entire year for tournaments, but also if we ever get something as major as /a/ and/or /tv/ tournaments, that's 6-8 tournament months in a row if they're just one after the other. People are burned out from 4 consecutive tournaments already.

>>64619
I disagree for several reasons.
>I want to see who's crowned King and Queen of their respective boards shortly after each other
>not everyone participates in side tournaments or other board tournaments and would be pissed off if the schedule changed if they already allotted specific times off for them each year
>we already can alleviate the wait for each tournament with the side tournaments

>>64619
You don't have to participate in every tourney. They're down to the people specifically on those boards so it's not expected that everyone will participate in every one. For example, I don't participate in the /mlp/ one's and couldn't tell you shit about its lore or who even won.

>>64619
I’m not burned out and want even more.

>>64619
Not everyone participates in every tournament, there are people who only go to the /co/ tourneys and some that only go to the Mr. one.
I went to the /co/ tournaments, but I didn't do much. I am only passionate about video games, I didn't put too much effort in these ones to not be tired when the /v/ ones start.

>>64619
We shouldn't separate it further, rather we should shorten it, at least for major tourneys. My suggestion is to close off at exactly 512 fighters successfully nominated, then go to qualifiers in the morning. This makes creating the poll faster, it shortens the tourneys by a day, and it helps people make absolute sure of who should get in so we don't end up with later threads where we get a bunch of "underdog slides" where people vote for literal whos as opposed to ACTUAL underdogs.

>>64821
Timezones kill that idea

I'm personally fine with the major tournaments being linked together in the final months, so long as there's enough side tournaments to engage with in the mean time.

Is there a final date for /cov/ yet?

>>65182
1 hour.

>>65182
Since apparently tag team is the 5th of January that would put /cov/ either 2nd of February or 1st or March, depending where co-op should go.

>>65182
>>65187

It's happening on February 2nd

>>65187
>>65291
Where are you getting these dates?

>>65316

It's literally listed here: >>63929

>>65324
>dates that were never commented on by hosts
>that horrible /cov/ name
It's fake.

This is getting kind of pointless as people can just spontaneously make tourney's.

Have we made a final decision on whether or not /tv/ or /a/ happens in the Spring?

>>66631
I don't think scheduling matters much at this point beyond some /tnt/ specific stuff. Probably some rando anon will pick it up whenever.

The possibility of a /tv/ tournament seems to be grtting a lot of positive reception when it’s been mentioned in Queen /v/ lately, think we should try it again at some point?

Hello people
So anons in the Queen of /v/ thread seem to be interested in a colors tournament
Yes, a fucking colors tournament. Like you Green, Yellows and reds kind of colors
I ideally want to do this after King of /v/ or Tag Team.
I really would like it if someone who has hosted tournaments in the past to help me run this because I do not want to fuck this up for everyone and waste everyone's time
So what do you guys think, would any of you previous tournament host be interested in helping run a colors tournament

>>69196
Btw I have a trip name established so now you'll know who you're talking to
Fucking hate this shit

>>69196
Okay, how about this: King of /v/ fighters are given one of eight colors (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Black and White). They're battles are against someone of a different color. So you're not just voting for a King, you're voting for a nation. It could make for some PHENOMENAL lore, far better than just "LMAO SEVEN MEANS BATTLER GETS RAPED LAUGH LAUGH"

>>69216
With this 7, Battler gets raped.
