    Why the hell is everyone dropping out? Can't they just play it like a normal tour, screw everything else, MUST BEAT EVERYONE, etc..

    ok, i get it that people don't want to do 100s of battles just to get approved to battle in the tour, we should just follow Harlot's format tbh

    @T-dogg-With vintage books.

    And I really don't see why a best forum tour winner format needs to be changed. We have the POCL going on and if the captain picks team etc it would be too similar to the POCL. This is what me and VB agreed on. Well I couldn't bother jackass about those who dropped out.

    That was last years thread. The people with the most points qualify regardless of the win/loss ratio. You don't have to do 100 battles. just do around 30 which should earn you enough points if you win most of them.

    There should also be a limit to what tiers can people choose

    VGC 2010? Wifi Ubers Triples? Serious? Rofl gl to whoever has to play those guys

    This tour sucks anyway so I guess that's a non-issue!!!

    EDIT: 30 battles just to have a chance at being in the team, a great deal imo

    If you dont like the format, then gtfo and don't join, stop complaining like a bitch, just because you don't want to do battles to get qualified just because you are lazy then I guess this tournament is not for you then.
    Jez guys, calm your farm or tell your jirachi to use more calm minds.

    I have no idea how that terrible tournament managed to win best tour, but clearly there is a problem with the format since the vast majority of players are calling it stupid.

    With the key difference that there is no auction and your player pool is restricted to those within your channel.

    Like Luck there's no way I'm playing a ton of matches this year to qualify.
    Also user Vintage Books should probably contribute to this thread.

    Well. since everyone is just complaining BUT NOT SUGGESTING SOLUTIONS, I'll like to propose something.

    I didn't participate in last year tornament, but I taked some time to check out how it played out and I have to agree, the qualifying round its easily exploitable, since you win 1 point regardles of if you win or not, you just have to fight a lot lot LOT to be able to join the tournament. I can see why people think this format is troublesome, since not everyone has the time to look for 30+ different players and fight them.

    So I want to propose this: A limit of battles. 12 battles at most. Since we are 4 teams, I'll say every user who wants to qualify for the tour must battle 4 users per opposing team, making it 12 battles total. The user can choose who to challenge and all that, but the limit is 12. And the teams choose who qualify to the main tour based on that Win/Lose ratio, NOT the points.

    This way are less the battles you have to worry about, everyone can win or lose the same amount of matches, and the people who earn the right to fight in the tour are the best players, not the ones who played the most matches

    I think it oughta be a captain picked by your directors and the people just sign up for the team they want. Then captain decides lineup for Week 1, 2, etc. Kind of like WC and POCL system of teams. The tiers would be OU, UU, LU, NU, LC, and Ubers. Sure, it's like the POCL pretty much, but the system is much simpler and user friendly and I think people would like this system, but maybe not. :<

    If anyone cares my proposed suggestion was that 4 captains are assigned by tour directors or w.e and then have a couple of days to conduct testing within the pool of player they are given and then rank those players in descending order of skill and the cutoff would be 10 or something and then when the two channels matchup the corresponding seeds would play eachother.

    I don't understand why we HAVE to play by last years format just because it won some stupid award. If it's broke, fix it.

    I would consider cohosting again were something like this planned.

    Nexus, you should not take the PO Awards seriously.

    Upon the request of many users, and with support from Tour Director IFM, I'm shutting this tour down.

    EDIT: Xinc also agrees with this decision.
