The first iteration of our revamped winter tour has just concluded, with the Luminous Lunalas winning, congrats (insert Obama medal meme here)! This thread can be used for any feedback for the tournament format, timing, etc. as well as a place for anyone, player, manager, or helper, to drop teams / sets made during the tour.
A few things to spark discussion that I think can be worked with the most:
Format - Vague to speak on fully, but the format was somewhat experimental this tour and thus can be worked with. Did you enjoy boosts, did you dislike them? What about slots, was SS BO3 too much to stay? Anything of the sorts, the format can be tweaked as we go, this tour slot has always been changing and it can continue to as we try to stabilize it for the best tour possible.
Name - Let's face it, the name isn't that catchy. It doesn't have the same ring to it as Most Wanted or the prestige attached that UPL does, so it can be worked with too. It's not bad by any means, but could stand out more to get the tour more attention.
Length - 5 weeks into finals, how did that feel for the format? 8 teams 7 weeks or more teams and a "division" style could also be possible somewhat like what Sparksblade suggested here with a home / away type system. If that isn't preferred and 5 weeks felt great for the tour, another option is changing playoffs from top 2 to top 3. This would increase competition until the end, and give the top team a bigger advantage with a bye to finals.
With all those thrown out there, any and all discussion about the tour is welcome!
