More actions
Strawman proposal for a Championship series. Please edit and leave thoughts, comments.
Season
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
13. A new tourney starts every 3 weeks, so there will probably be overlaps.
Formats
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
Trophy
The BGB Tankard
