[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man_proposal Strawman proposal] for a Championship series. Please edit and leave thoughts, comments.  
The BGB Championship series is a series of tournaments played asynchronously and primarily on [[Board Game Arena]]. Each tournament will give participants points towards becoming the overall champion.


== Season ==
In order to accommodate different players, there will be two main tracks: [[#Breezy Series|The Breezy Series]] and the [[#Main Event Series|The Main Event Series]]. There will also be a third Experimental track for those wanting even more.
September through May. Take the summer off since vacations can be disruptive. Also try and keep the games light during the holidays.


== Number of tournaments ==
[[#Breezy Series|The Breezy Series]] will be for lighter, easy to learn games that should play relatively quickly, usually in 5 days or less. The season will also be shorter at 6 tournaments. Tournaments will not overlap.
13. A new tourney starts every 3 weeks, so there will probably be overlaps.


== Formats ==
[[#Main Event Series|The Main Event Series]] is for longer, more involved games. It is expected that players in these tournaments be able to make a couple moves a day to keep the games moving. The season will be longer, spanning most of the year
5 round Swiss for multiplayer games. Single elimination for 2 player games.


Once it's out of testing there’s also the group stage then knockout format for 2p tournaments over straight single elimination
=== Participation ===
All tournaments are optional. Anyone can join any tournament and participants are not required to play all the tournaments in a series.


== Trophy ==  
=== Why have a series? ===
* The BGB Tankard
Because we like to play games, so why not a game within the game? Also, having a schedule gives people time to try games ahead of time and decide if they want to participate. It also gives time for people to practice.
* The Golden Tank
* The BGB Cup


== Point system ==

Proposals for what games to play. All games will be freely available on an online digital platform such as BGA, Yucatá, GameParlor.
The Breezy Series is designed to accommodate as many players as possible. The games are lighter and shorter. And the tournament settings will give players more time so people don't have to worry about timing out if they can't make moves as often.

Revision as of 16:22, 22 August 2021

The BGB Championship series is a series of tournaments played asynchronously and primarily on Board Game Arena. Each tournament will give participants points towards becoming the overall champion.

In order to accommodate different players, there will be two main tracks: The Breezy Series and the The Main Event Series. There will also be a third Experimental track for those wanting even more.

The Breezy Series will be for lighter, easy to learn games that should play relatively quickly, usually in 5 days or less. The season will also be shorter at 6 tournaments. Tournaments will not overlap.

The Main Event Series is for longer, more involved games. It is expected that players in these tournaments be able to make a couple moves a day to keep the games moving. The season will be longer, spanning most of the year

Participation

All tournaments are optional. Anyone can join any tournament and participants are not required to play all the tournaments in a series.

Why have a series?
