Daily Bronze to Diamond Cap

Tinkerman · 12-22-2024, 08:09 AM

The tourney has gone over 32/64, so I've just withdrawn. There are only 33 teams, so if someone else withdraws in the next 20 mins - the thing will fire and CWit might not go crazy

Haha I just saw this Tinkerman: I appreciate the shoutout.

I was going to post about this tournament here: I helped Nico with the creation of this format and I think it's genuinely a tournament that a lot of people can compete in! A bronze to diamond cap with a really tight cap, and a ten combi limit so you need to make decisions and can't use all of your good players! It's had some trouble filling but it's one of the most fulfilling building experiences I've had this year.

I also plan on having stream leaderboards starting in January similar to how Laptop, EVC, and Dr.D do for their tournaments, so use the time now to build your team and test so when leaderboards start you can start doing well!

It's a cool format with a heck of a lot of build options. Right now, it'd probably help this tourney fill if it simply had it's prizes changed to TB4 instead of packs.

Today's tourney went up to 33/64 while I was tweaking my roster, so it won't fire as a 32 again. I don't want to, but I'm gonna see if withdrawing will get it it to start instantly.

If a daily or weekly isn't half full with an hour to go, I think the number of teams should be cut then, rather than waiting for the time to expire. Each time this tourney has gone 1 or 2 over 32, it's been in the last half hour or so - then taken 24 hours to get to 64!

starting tomorrow it is at 32 permanently. shouldn't have any problem filling going forward. hopefully we can get it popular enough that we can push it back to 64!

Filled early today. I'm a bit overmatched now anyway - now that people have got their rosters together! 4 months away from the game has left me a lot of ground to attempt to make up, but I'll keep trying to add good combis and give this tourney a waz again when you need slots filling.

Tinkerman · 12-31-2024, 07:54 AM

Looks like this could be changed back to a 64 now, especially with people trying to qualify for PTCS. No need to keep it at 32 unnecessarily.

the 17th-32nd pack prize is now gone, since there were people that were joining with no team just to get free packs. sadly people had to ruin that. we'll check back in next week and see if it's still firing pretty quickly to see if maybe 64 is okay!

Tinkerman · 12-31-2024, 05:35 PM

I caught a bit of Laptop earlier when he was chatting about that, smh. Maybe without the spongers there'll be a slot for me in the morning.

cwhitman · 01-05-2025, 08:35 PM

also heads up! starting with tomorrow's bronze to diamond we're starting leaderboards! as of now i'm giving out 12k pp to the person with the most tournament wins during the week and 5k to the one who beats me the most! this might change if we get OOTP support but am going to start here.

Tinkerman · 01-07-2025, 01:47 PM

How come this isn't back to 64 yet?

nico is potentially looking at some fun 48 person round robin options, hopefully to be updated soon!

Tinkerman · 01-07-2025, 05:48 PM

Cool, it'll be interesting to see how quick that fills cause I'd like to make it a regular if I can.

Any update on this?

I was stoked to get the bounty against you yesterday!

Paul announced on stream that TB5 and the last refresh are likely coming next week so fingers crossed that'll happen!

I did get OOTP confirmation that they will help support this which is exciting! need to check in with nico.

Last week's winners were
lgeldart12 of the McLeod Hill Marauaders with two wins

and Loloortz of the Galveston Shorebirds with the tiebreak and one bounty win.

I did win two last week so maybe i should have won

cwhitman · 01-26-2025, 08:53 PM

crazy week! tinkerman wins both rewards! tiebreaker on the overall win over the galveston shorebirds. will get nico to send the rewards your way soon.

Tinkerman · 01-27-2025, 09:01 AM

Thanks, CWhit! Those lucky game 7 wins came in handy

Good that it's up to 64 again now. I also appreciate you posting these updates on the forum.
