@GamePhoenix I received word back on the Tournament policies. Although there are no
formally written rules, but we ask that your tournament do the following
- Do not ask for personal information when having users sign up for a tournament bracket
- Do not require users to utilize an external site for the tournament. Using Challonge for posting a bracket is fine, but users should be able to follow the tournament entirely on the PokeBeach websie
- Keep the tournament short and concise. Preferably withing a month's time span. Two weeks would be gold.
- As such, the deadlines for the tournament must be strictly met. Find a way to handle matches that are unable to occur. If you'd like, you can refer to PokeBeach's monthly PTCGO tournament rules for handling this situation.
We hope that your tournament operates smoothly. It might take a lot more work managing than you originally thought, so make sure to set aside much time to plan and manage tournament operations.
Personally, I would recommend using a week's time span for signups. Then use that information to create a Swiss-round style Challonge tournament bracket. Post a picture of the bracket on Pokebeach, and give members 3-4 days to complete each match and report back. Whatever you plan to do,
make sure the participants know the timing and exact schedule of the tournament so they can plan accordingly.
