I tried to make up many tournaments, none of them really worked, I'm going to tell you the reasons and how to make a *working* tournament, especially for teams:
1.) Losing interest - Some people really want to start a tournament, they are making a site, JCF threads, etc... and then they just forget the idea and going to try something else because they think it's not that interesing anymore, or something. That's the biggest reason - Jazz2 Online 4vs4 Tournament was failed because of that, so did the 2vs2 tournament, and other tournaments I recently don't remember.
2.) No rules - People don't make rules and then teams\players flame each other and argue about "WHO WON THE MATCH", "IT IS CANCELLED OR NOT!!", "WE WON IT, YOU BAD REFEREE!!", "HOST IS LAGGING US!!", etc... that's the reason that TGC failed. Players always flamed each other and we couldn't run the tournament like that... making rules would fix this problem.
3.) Players\teams can't meet each other - Most of the tournaments failed because of that. American players couldn't meet europeans. I found a solution - you can just make dates and time for those matches, and then the players know when to meet each other and there are no problems. You can also ask the players for the latest\earliest time they can stay online to play JJ2. =P
4.) Losing matches - "I LOST THE MATCH SO I LEAVE THE TOURNAMENT, GOODBYE, I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE GONNA KICK ME". Just don't register this kind of people, which is the worst.
How to make a good tournament:
- Make clearly rules and ask people if they actually understand them.
- Be sure you are interesed on this tournament and do not suddenly stop it.
- Use JCF or make a website to place your announcements.
- Don't make ladders. One team will play 10 times and other team won't play at all, which is bad.
I think I already said everything... :god:
