Eaters won only two majors. An unbeatable team would won all.

Every team is beatable, or can loose some of its key players during a tournament.

I think ALL MAJORS should stay, they have a nice history behind. The only thing is How often they should kick off.
5 MAJORS a year? FC + 2 ranked + 2 box? FC every year. The other rotate so you close the cycle every 2 years ( year and a half in box)

Down to 5 will free space to accomodate ALL the other minors or new ones/formats coming. Minor Tournaments could rise their profile and participation, and MAJORS become more an unique special event.

The bigger minors (XFL, R/B Minors) may need to take a cut too...not only MAJORS...well, all this depends On what type of tournament circuit you'd like to have...

Do you honestly believe there are too many tournaments? As I have never heard this said before. Or are you just using that as an excuse to try and get merged tournaments?


Well, what are you planning to do with the Tour?

Are you adding six tournaments? Are they cross division? Sounds not. That would make twelve.

As long as people are joining and there are enough staff to run them then fair enough.

There is no need to reduce the Majors. If anything the issue is people not getting in.

+1 to rotation. However I would still prefer FC+1+1 majors.


Why? You don't have to play in them.

It's not about the amount. Right now it's just that the schedules cover the full year and there are no overlapping tourneys for the same div. So you could always apply to a major with the same team.

If you are talking tourney saturation, remember that not everyone play both Ranked an Box.

For example, I don't play ranked, so for me only the following tourneys exist:

Fumbbl Cup, Black Cup, Wheel of Chaos, Crown of Sand, Blackbox Minors
... brawls, and now rumbles, xfl

I'd imagine this is similar for many - but far from all - coaches.

On the other hand, when you add in the Stunty Leeg Majors, the saturation for some of us is even higher. Not that I think that's a bad thing. Tourneys and Metagroups are pretty much all I play. If anything (and I've said this before) I'd like to see more of them; specifically minors for S.

As long as the interest in Majors remains high, why would anyone want to reduce them?

I agree SMACKs are currently not working, ok so let's fix that, but leave Majors be! I tend to think that a weekly rotation might be good for SMACKs, along with a little more Buzz. So one week's ROO and one week's VET and so on. Plus, maybe some meta group event like the ARR Brawl. If I could think of a good one I'd already have started it...

I play all kinds of majors and I don't find there are too many. It's not like anyone always makes the finals so there are often large gaps between kick offs anyway. It only gets tight if you go on a deep run and it's not like that happens all the time.

Part of this is simply not being aware. I almost missed the Black Cup because I was expecting it to be in August like all the literature on the site implied. I wasn't the only one caught off guard by that.

Many thanks to PC, and good luck (and thanks) to easilyamused!

Another thing that IMHO is calling for a rethinking is MAJORS qualifiers. At least MAJORS should be timezone friendly. NAF has proved that is possible to engage different timezones if the right format is put in place.


The only problem with this is that it dosn't solve the problem in the main draw where we are back to the existing format.


Which means it solves 87.5% of the problem (assuming 8-player qualifiers).

When I pointed out that there where to many tournaments and maybe reduce them it was in the vein of increasing participation.

I do not think there needs to be a reduction because I think all the coaches that want to play in tournaments have more than enough choice and are not being denied entry because of to many entrants.

What I meant was that for some of them if you haven't pimped up your team or/and maybe been lucky and picked the right race you might not get in.

Fumbbl Cup and Black Cup at least take everyone.
