Yeah^.Personally, I don't understand the reluctance..
The idea is to keep the site fresh and exciting.
If you can't be assed making these things official. the site gets stagnent
Stop fighting these thing's and just give the people what they want
I think it's sad when people like RULE, T_N and others have to make up tournament's and do all of the leg work
because mod's dont want to chip in, by forming some brackets
Being a mod aint just about deleting votes, and answring p.m's
It's about keeping the site going in the right direction, by offering the users oppurtunities to show of their skill's and do what they love most (rapping)...Give us some insperation
After all it is the mods who have the power to make tournaments official
So why waste them, that's not what you was given them for
And this isnt me mod bashing..So dont catch feelings

Nah .... the tourny schedules done and dusted... took us long enough to finalise it
We tried having shit loads of official tournaments last year ... they just got ignored in the end up ... it made tournaments lose any importance.... nobody gave a shit
when there's 2 a year on each side it's something to look forward to ... build up a bit of anticipation

But this is genuinly a fresh concept, if you think people are going to ignore this Tournament and not give a shit about it, then you SEVERERLY mistaken...

I've heard it all before though .... and i dunno about everybody else ... but i don't feel like sitting through another year of people screaming for more tournaments ... then ignoring them once they get what they want ..... just to ultimately reach exactly the same point this time next year.
we waited till the start of the year to put this new tournament schedule into action .... that was decided over the last few months as the best set up for everybody involved... whether they realise it or not.

I'm not going to argue with you on that point. I can well believe that tournaments have happened in the past, and just totally gone to pot through people not giving a shit once they'd GOT WHAT THEY WANTED...
But if I said to you, I set up a thread, To get people paired up, I spread word around, (PM them, comment them) with the link see what kind of reaction we get
if I can say, get 32 people paired up in teams (16 is too small, and 64 is way too big)
Would you atleast consider it, if your satisfied with the response and the feedback
it generates?

I can see both sides. I think tournaments getting ignored has more than just users interest to blame. I think there are alot of reasons. I think instead of going back and forth arguing, it should be a collaborative effort as to how we can spice things up and still keep tournaments exciting. The page that tries to sell exclusive says "monthly" tournaments. I think we are doing some false advertising. I think that monthly is excessive, but two a year seems a little less than enough. Rather than saying people ignore tournaments, lets not have them...it would be more beneficial to find out why they are ignored, and attack the root of the problem. Seems more proactive and less reactive. I wasn't a real close part of the talks on tournaments amongst staff or I would have clearly expressed my thoughts at that time. Idk. On the other hand I couldnt really give a fuck less to a certain degree.

This is how i see it..... we eventualy work out a schedule ... we're gonna go with it for a while..... not just say ....fuck it ... after what?... 6 days.
2 a year might not sound like much ...... but there will always be a tournament or qualifying happening all year round
Jan - Audi Qualifying
Feb - Tourny early rounds
Mar - Tourny final rounds
Apr - Text Qualifying
May - Tourny early rounds
Jun - Tourny final rounds
etc
etc
etc
any more tournys and shit just gets cluttered and they run into each other .... that was the biggest problem last year
