Warrior General Games

There are a few popular tournaments that always or usually run every season (TOC, Combine Invitational, etc). These tournaments should be able to be verified by the GLB admins in order for people to obtain rings for winning.

My thought is that in order to prevent people from making a small tourney and horde rings, there could be a process that allows certain tournaments to be verified and approved (or denied) to allocate rings out as well.

I was thinking something like:
- Must run all (or most) age ranges
- Must have 3 prior seasons of a successfully ran tourney before applying to be verified (more successful seasons= better chance, etc)


This is just the groundwork for it, will gladly add on with more user input.
The verifying process could be something like a Support Ticket, linking the PFs and providing all the tournament information, or something along those lines.

What is the end state? Do you want there to be fewer Tourneys?

thumbs down. Hate this idea.

so right now random people can give away rings? that seems odd.

Bort mentioned several seasons ago (when GLB moved from Catch22 using Bracketmaster to having tournament registration and brackets in-house) that he had wanted to allow others to use the same system for their GLB-related tournaments. My guess is that was low-priority enough that it encountered some obstacle that prevented it from being completed.

There are a number of current barriers to implementing the OP. One is that the custom trophies that you'll see on some teams are placed by an admin; I don't believe that there's an easy tool for doing so, which is why you don't see those trophies on owner/GM profiles (who, frankly, should get them too), much less player profiles. Another is that many (most?) of the tournaments aren't wrapping until very late in the season, with winners sometimes being submitted during the offseason, aka "admin busy season." Together, you'd have an already cumbersome process multiplied by a factor of at least 55 (one for every player!), all information that any sane admin would require the tournament organizers to provide, if only to deter them from making such a request.

Speaking as someone who's been on both sides of the user-organized tournaments, I wouldn't even say that providing rings to players would be desirable unless it were SUPER easy to do... and then what would be the point?
