Weekly and monthly automated PvP tournaments?

[Eaty]

Hey, I was thinking about adding automated tournaments in PRO.

 

I thought about a weekly random battle tournament and a monthly OU tournament. Nothing is decided yet as I want your input first.

An NPC could fully handle these tournaments. If we have too many participants, it could make different tournament trees.

 

Random Battles would be thrice a month and OU once a month. You have the whole week/month time to register.

To participate you have to pay a fee. Not sure about the amount but I think 10,000-20,000 for random battles and 30,000-50,000 for OU sounds fair.

The entry fee would get split between first, second and third place. The % can be discussed at a later point.

 

You need to bring a few hours time for the tournament.

• The NPC will queue you and handle all battle starts.
  • You disconnect in a battle you lose. Potentially a BO3 for unlucky disconnects?
  • Once a battle is finished you'll be in a queue until your next battle starts.
    • This keeps going until the tournament ends.
• If the server crashes the NPC gives you 15 minutes to re-enter the tournament after the server rebooted.
  • If you don't re-enter within time you'll be disqualified.
  • The server should be stable by then tho!

 

Please give reasons to make it easier to follow your argumentations.

Seems a good idea but the servers should be stable

How about introducing RU,NU etc so we can get out of this boring cycle?

i think its a good idea, but how about having the tournament cycle styles

so like first its OU, then UU, then RU, then NU, ETC. and then it keeps rotating

[Iampvp]

very good idea

[Patomilenar]

Excellent idea, this brings a new motivation for those who play PVP, and sometimes tires of playing only Ranked to climb ladder, tournaments are much more fun in my opinion, I fully support tournaments in this format !! ++ 1

Nice idea

I think the idea is great, but could be better to apply it in another way, as some people mentioned above. I think that you with your sources have the ability to take into account all % of usages of any pokemon. With that it would not be incredibly difficult to establish all existents  tiers: ( uber, ou, uu, ru, nu, pu .. ) and make the ingame tournaments rotative or randomized between these modalities would make pro the perfect game competitively to be able to have variety and use all kinds of pokémon
