What the title says.
Step 1: Think of a good idea.
- Try to do metas people play. Maybe ORAS 1v1, USUM 1v1, or USUM 1v1 with a twist, like s rank pokemon are banned.
- Try to think of metas people would be excited to play. While you might think a tournament is a cool way to introduce a meta nobody's played, in actuality people just might sign up at all.
- Will it be single elim? Double elim? Swiss? Don't make it round robin, by the way.
- Best of 3? Best of 5? Best of 3 OF best of 3s?
Step 2: Contact a tournaments host for their approval.
- Self explanatory. Example here.
Step 3: Making signups thread + Planning
- Go here and make a thread for the signups.
- You're also gonna want to make a discord for it and have everyone join so they can schedule.
- You'll want to wait either a week for signups, or until you get a good number of signups you want. Try to aim for something like 16, 24, 32, 48, etc.
- Know whether you will have a round robin finals, and just generally be familiar with double elimination and single elimination tours. Double Elim tours should have the losers bracket finalist need to beat the winner's bracket finalist in 2 best of whatevers.
- Yes you can play in your own tour.
- Link your discord in the OP of your signups post.
Step 4: Hosting.
- Now you put up round 1.
- THIS RESOURCE is very very important, is it how you generate matchups. Put each username on a new line, then generate.
- If you want something like 48 but are just a little of, maybe you have 42, put in byes until you reach your desired number (shows with current size)
- Tag participants. Some users (like me) have different usernames than tag ids. The members tab has tag ids and usernames which correspond.
- Make a new thread for each round.
- Give people a week to play.
- Be active on discord.
- Don't wait on people to get games done after deadline, don't be afraid to make act calls, be kind of afraid to coinflip.
- Make fair activity and extension decisions. If people ask for a short extension, give it to them.
- If you're playing you should get someone else to make matchups for you (pastebin them the list of people formatted by the ifm hodor site so it's easy for them obviously) OR provide video evidence of you making the matchups fairly with the ifm hodor site.
This is how you host a tour. It's actually not hard at all, so get hosting I guess.
