[Community / Tournaments]

Since a lot of you voted yes or maybe in participating in a fediverse tournament, I've decided to give hosting a tournament a go.

Mark October 14th at 6pm UTC on your calendars, for the Splatoon 3 Fediverse Championships!

Anyone can participate in this tournament, as long as you have an account on a social media website that supports the ActivityPub protocol (Lemmy and Kbin excluded, I'd recommend joining a Mastodon server, like here at https://wetdry.world if you only have a Lemmy or Kbin ActivityPub account).

You'll need to assemble a team of 4 players. I'm not setting up any Discord server for this, but I'd highly recommend scrolling through the replies on this post or making a reply with contact information and your splashtag.

Edit: I believe @Butterfree made a Discord server that people can join at https://discord.gg/BjeGAfcG

For full details and rules, please visit the tournament page.

Teams must be registered by 09/10/23, if you want to pull out of the tournament please let me know before 10/10/23.

If there's a Splatfest, Big Run or Grizzco Random Weapons Rotation, the tournament will be rescheduled.

No prizes will be given out during this event.

Would you consider having at least best-of-3 sets, and also possibly a double-elimination format for the tournament? As it stands, a single-elim one-game tourney means that half of the players that make time for the event will play probably not more than 5 minutes of gameplay.

I agree with this, Single-match sets would be way too short to play, one match could last anywhere between 45 or so seconds and 5+ minutes.
Meaning that most teams could have a really short run in the tourney.
Also, a single-elim format might be way too punishing for teams considering how much variance in skill levels we could have here
