I was wondering if it would be a good idea to have tournaments in [B] with prizes (Gear, special players) Like in the [R] majors. I myself do not think it would ruin [B] It would simply add to the fun. Having special players to target for a kill etc. In [R] coaches can protect their prizes by picking and waiting for next tournament. In [B] they would "be used" and DIE!

I just want to see what the general opinion is on this subject. So feel free to comment. O_o

Would we get to choose which of our teams was entered into the tournament, or just which team we would prefer to play? Rolling Eyes

A better idea would be to remove stupid tournament prizes from [R].

Hehehe, one step at a time, my friend Smile

I find it hard to believe I'm the only person who finds it absurd that [R] is supposed to be LRB-compliant in every way possible and then deliberately introduces non-LRB nonsense prizes.

I have resolved never to accept any silly prize I might have the misfortune of becoming eligible for.

prizes are mentioned as rewards to tournaments in the rulebook... they're optional, but certainly not "non-LRB"

There is no section in the LRB that suggests that the LC can hand out absurd prizes at will.

Those prizes aren`t exactly handed out 'at will'.

But lets not take the second step after the first - how should tourneys look like in [B]? Would teams or coaches sign up? Would there be a minimum number of teams needed? How would teams be matched? Many questions...

Thinking about a concept, how about the following:
Coaches sign up and each coach should have teams in at least 3 different TR categories (like SMACK). Coaches are then paired and every coach may look at his opponents teams and can make 1 match with one of his own teams. When making this match it has to be noted, that you cannot pick a match, where your TS is more than 5 TS higher after handicaps. The other coach does the same.
Now there are multiple outcomes:
Both coaches pick the same matchup -> Winner advances.
Both coaches pick a different matchup -> Both matches are played. If coaches are tied after the 2 games, the box schedules a 3rd match at random (Note: If one team is involved in 2 matchups, the coach of that team may choose which matchup to play first.)
