Event Idea for MRP

[MrTooTooT 103]

I couldn't fall asleep without typing up this idea and yes, I know I'm going to get absolutely flamed/ratioed for this idea, but I'd rather see what the community would think of such an idea. So, feast your eyes on this idea I call:

The Garnet Gaming MilitaryRP Factions Tournament!

The tournament would be made up of the different factions of MilitaryRP.

These factions are:

Base: US                                                                                            Tali  

Tier 1: Delta Force                                                                            Badri 313                              

Tier 2: Rangers                                                                                 TSFU

Tier 3: GB                                                                                           055th

There are three formats that this tournament can be framed:

1) Having the US and Tali doing their own separate tournaments, finding out which is the best faction and then the final two factions duking it out.

2) Each of the tiers battle each other out (Base, Tier 1, 2 and 3) until there is a winner. 

3) Literally just do a wheel deciding which factions fight.

Now that we discussed how the tournament itself would be formatted, let's talk about the individual games itself:

Each of the factions would be allowed to have 5 members involved in this tournament and 2 reserves in the case that one isn't able to make it.

It would be in a best of 3 matches. The matches would be held on 3 different maps, which can involve the OBJ's and some other extra areas, such as Village, Swamp and Cargo.

Each match would be decided by whichever faction gets to 10 rounds first, equaling a potential 20 rounds in a match.

It would be 1v1 simulations that each faction will decide who to put in. In order to make sure it is not dominated by a singular person; each team will require that each person goes two times during the match, no more than five and no singular player can go more than two times in a row.

Because of this, there would be an actual strategy to figure out who is the best person for each round. A good way of going through this tournament is to figure out who has gone and who still has turns left.

Now that we discussed how all this would be formatted, let's answer the one question that you may be asking: Why? Why host a tournament?

The answer can be given in two ways,

1) Because it could be fun lol. The idea of having a tournament every once in a while, could be a fun way to engage the community and allow for factions to have bragging rights in a sense, to see who the best faction is truly. It can also be a fresh new way to get old players back and engage them with the newer community.

2) Because there could be an actual incentive to do this. For example, factions can design their headquarters to give their place a little flair, but that costs ingame money and usually a whole bunch. We can make the tournament a high risk, high reward situation where the faction can gather up some money, put it into a prize pool as a way of entering the tournament and if they win, they can get a massive payout.

I honestly just wanted to type something up during my LOA because I had been thinking of this idea before I left and I know this would probably never be accepted unless some things are put in, so that’s why I didn’t put it into a suggestions area instead. I just wanted to type out a format, show yall how this would work and see what yall thought. Love it? Hate it? Wanna send death threats and dox me? Please tell me so

Ngl love the idea, I would think it needs Garnets approval and help though.

I hosted a scuffed MRP tournament (as probably no one remembers) so I wanted to give the stuff I learned from that.

1) Do it fast. The longer you wait in between matches the harder it gets to schedule stuff. People lose interest, resign, etc.

2) If you want to spectate/record matches you can have both people join a squad and turn halos off. With the format you're doing here you may not want that because some people could abuse that but maybe in some of the matches where you know the people would play fairly.

3) Single elimination. This and other rules are stuff I stole from the rocket league community. They do a ton of showmatches, 1v1s, fusions, etc and have really good formatting and rules if you are looking for inspiration.

Sounds like a really cool idea so I hope it works out well!

I love this idea but the only problem is getting 5 active player from each faction because of time zone difference and work and school  would be a pain in the ass .

I personally believe it could be possible. If you set up times properly and tell people when a match would be held, I personally know that people will be there. The sizes of reserves could also change as well instead of it just being 2, could be 3, 4, or even 5 if we wanted to.

Alright, thanks for all the advice! I'll be sure to look up a rule book from the community and steal their wonderful ideas
