RE: Tournament Creators, the Future of Steem Monsters is in your hands

in #steemmonsters5 years ago

I would suggest paying out either top 16 or top 32 (preferably top 32 or even 64, but that requires quite some funds), because that's how the bracket is built. It makes little sense to me to pay out top 12 or top 20 when there are 16 players that make it to the same round. It happened that I missed out on the prizes, simply because I didn't play the qualifier round...

I know the feeling well of barely missing the bottom prizes.
I think 25 is a good number to try out.

I think @simplymike is right, it needs to be a multiplier of 4, to ensure it's all competitors that make a specific round get a prize.

Ah, I see. Good point.

It makes no sense that the people who play the qualifier round have 2 more points than the people who don't. That's not fair ... if 8 people reach the quarter final, but the people who have played the qualifier round have more points, because they fought an extra battle...

I'd love to do a tourney - no legendaries, novice or bronze league - that would work by private invitation only, so we can exclude the big hitters. If some of the smaller /less experienced accounts don't get a fair chance to rank high in a toutnament every once in a while, they will stop entering.

Now allI need is to figure out a idea to raise some money so we can payout a lot of players...

This is the exact reason why I enter in the final 15 minutes of a tournament. This could have a negative affect though, where I might be knocked out first round by a really strong player.

I know @sparkesy43 is current raising funds for a “deep” prize pool tourney. Maybe you both can join forces?

Having no Legendaries would be a very different game play, but everything is worth a shot.

Before @heyimsnuffles figured out how the bracket was built, I always signed up very early. That has changed, and I like to keep my eye on the players' list to decide when to sign up. I don't have a problem risking having to fight an extra battle in bronze or silver league tournaments, but gold... If it's a rather small tournament, I still prefer to go on to the next round without having to play.

I don't really like the idea of not being able to use legendary cards - I adore my legendaries - but it is the only way to set up a tournament and level the playing field for everyone by filtering out those legendary summoners. Don't get me wrong, I do own some - maxed or at level 3 - and I love playing them, because they give me a shot against people I wouldn't be able to beat otherwise, but I'm willing to give in because I want the smaller players to have a shot too.

I had picked up that @sparkesy43 was planning to host a tournament with a deep prize pool, but I had missed the fundraising post he published two days ago. Just replied, proposing we could indeed join forces. Thanks for the heads up, @mellofello!
