Considering 1v1 tournament-- WIn Big , or Lose big ?

[Martok]

i dont think comedian is a profession you should persue.

Certainly not here, where no one has a sense of humor.

No one cares about 1v1

That isn't true. Roaming One v One encounters are a completely different experience from a simple duel. Roaming random encounters are fun, the very essence of the game (spare me, I have heard the rhetoric before), are very enjoyable, and many players seek them. Duels are the stuff of the eighth-grade playground.

Im considering setting up a new 1v1 tourney however with a HUGE concept.

All toons must be 40/RR80 minimum. Tournament is done WIth NO UI and Loser deletes toon.
So in the end only 1 person will walk out rest are all "dead" Tricky part is verifying that everyone is playing by the "rules" so i'm trying to figure out how to do that.

Thoughts?

Doesn't seem like a great idea.

There are certain matchups which are almost impossible to win. It's like a rock, paper, scissors tournament but players can only choose one.

The cons of losing greatly outweigh the pros of winning.

The bragging rights are not going to hold value especially when there's going to be a winning class and not a winning player.

So far including myself we have 3 people willing / signed up. Need at least 7 more to make it worthwhile. I would prefer 20 total at least, but will do it with just 10 if thats all we can get . I also have 3 Refs that have agreed to assist , depending on participants might need few more.. but will see.

Eh.. single elimination tournaments are usually 8, 16 or 32, so really just need 5 more

I feel for having such a big lose or big win more is better. Otherwise could just have 2 people lol . But appreciate it and if we don’t have 10 will see what next options are.
