[Community / Tournaments]
Since a lot of you voted yes or maybe in participating in a fediverse tournament, I’ve decided to give hosting a tournament a go.
Mark September 16th at 6pm UTC on your calendars, for the Splatoon 3 Fediverse Championships!
Anyone can participate in this tournament, as long as you have an account on a social media website that supports the ActivityPub protocol (Lemmy and Kbin excluded, I’d recommend joining a Mastodon server, like here at https://wetdry.world if you only have a Lemmy or Kbin ActivityPub account).
You’ll need to assemble a team of 4 players. I’m not setting up any Discord server for this, but I’d highly recommend scrolling through the replies on this post or making a reply with contact information and your splashtag.
For full details and rules, please visit the tournament page.
Teams must be registered by 12/09/23, if you want to pull out of the tournament please let me know before 13/09/23.
If there’s a Splatfest, Big Run or Grizzco Random Weapons Rotation, the tournament will be rescheduled.
No prizes will be given out during this event.

Very cool, thanks for hosting!
Pinned to /c/splatoon for some more visibility too, hopefully!
Have fun and wish everyone the best of luck! :D
Thanks for pinning! I’ve only just noticed now.
Hoping we do start getting some entries soon, since I have one sorta official team entry now.
@splatoon@wetdry.world @splatoon@lemmy.world this is cool. The web page is nice too. Though I know it says that there isn’t a rank minimum, but an X rank recommendation for battles. There is no way I’ll be able to make X rank by that time.
I guess that means I’d get knocked out in the early stages. But I accept that fate. Haha.
@curious_robot @splatoon@lemmy.world you’re A rank right?
I’d completely embarrass myself if I wasn’t hosting and I entered, I’m B rank.
The web page thing is just something that Misskey and its forks offer, just something easy to use.
Just because you don’t have X rank by the way doesn’t mean you’re not good
@splatoon@wetdry.world @splatoon@lemmy.world yea, clawed my way up but yea. This is true.
Haha it’s a shame you won’t get to play too, though it’s a big undertaking to organise a tournament, I really hope we get enough people. Even if it’s just 4 teams. :)

Would you consider having at least best-of-3 sets, and also possibly a double-elimination format for the tournament? As it stands, a single-elim one-game tourney means that half of the players that make time for the event will play probably not more than 5 minutes of gameplay.@one_suit_samus @splatoon@wetdry.world @splatoon@lemmy.world
I agree with this, Single-match sets would be way too short to play, one match could last anywhere between 45 or so seconds and 5+ minutes.
Meaning that most teams could have a really short run in the tourney.
Also, a single-elim format might be way too punishing for teams considering how much variance in skill levels we could have here@AbsentAria @one_suit_samus @splatoon@lemmy.world I’ll make a change to best-of-3 now, thank you for the feedback
