I opened a poll in the thread with a suggested date of third full weekend in July, whether that be one day or two. Let me know what format everyone would prefer, I think the majority is FT3 all thru like the majors with losers bracket.
Keep in mind if we do a losers bracket, that's gonna be a ton of matches going on at once. We would seriously need some all hands on deck streaming if we hope to catch most/all that we can.
another edit: Or we could keep it simple and just stream the semis and finals?
Ok my preferred format is:
2 day (unless its easier to do 1 day) I feel this gives the Spotters, players, streamers and TO's time to rest between sets and rounds.
I like FT5 because of the adaptability of it but I understand its easier to keep it shorter and I'm willing to play FT3. Its FT2 I think is shit. So I vote FT3 all the way through.
Losers Bracket: I feel this is a must, I know I have iffy games and having the chance to come back is where its at, its also hype. Maybe just stream the Semi finals onward because I feel most would just watch the finals anyways. I do like watching my sets and analyzing what players did but I think everything is recorded in game through MK11's replay feature.
As for entry fees: I like Free and $5. I think there are multiple ways to get money for TYM and those doing all the work. A donate option for TYM would be awesome and maybe a fund for tournaments that can be used for prize pools. YouTube, Twitch, GoFundMe and any other ideas we can come up with that has people donate for future/current tournaments. Maybe even on top of $5 entry fees.
Along with my idea above i think 1-4 places being paid is the way to go. We can even ask the winner if they would like to donate 20% to TYM or have a permanent percentage taken for everything that goes into maintenance of the site and tournaments?
