Heya people.
Cutting to the chase: the grunt work of the Tournaments will now be done by a committee designated for that purpose, as Gym and RP are. This is to have the community hold the decisions on this stuff with the mods overlooking how things go, instead of the mods doing everything. If you look on all other areas it works that way and only in Tourney we have a mod dictatorship, which strikes me a weird, if you ask me.
The committee will have basically 5 jobs:
a) Approve of Tournament ideas with respective hosts
b) Approve of Prizes for Tournaments, including legendary pokemon for the winner(s) or runner-up(s), regular prizes for battlers and refs, special prizes (like UC for flavor) and prizes for prediction tournaments
c) Set up basic guidelines for tournaments.
d) Replace hosts on tournaments taking way too long (this is subjective, but rule of thumb is one year, except if the tournament is being updated regularly).
e) Run (or get someone to do it) the Official ASB Tournament periodically (today it is being held every 2 years, counting from when each started, but a different timeframe can be picked by the committee).
The mods will update the old Allowed/Excluded legendary pokemon list, which will serve as a parameter for:
a) which mons can be given on regular tournaments
b) which mons can be given on official ASB tournaments
c) how you cannot under any circunstance give out Mew or Arceus or Mega-Rayquaza on any tournament, you twerk.
As long as that list is obeyed, the prizes for tournaments are entirely at the discretion of the committee.
BTW, this means that the host/subhost will need to be more dilligent here, are there usually won't be someone else doing tags and helping him keep things going. If the committee is to intervene, changes are that they will take over the tournament, and I assume you won't want that.
The initial committee will be handpicked by me. I will be looking for active people basically. I intend to have a varied committee with good battlers, good refs, flavorheads etc. Preferably without mods (projmods are ok tho). As soon as we pick the committee we will begin a transition, with me setting up the first set of basic guidelines and the committee picking up from there.
This thread is here to inform you of that and to give opportunity for people interested to nominate themselves for the job. No need for a formal nomanation, just a simple "I am interested" post will suffice. Granted, I can pick people that don't post here, as long as they have interest, but you posting makes my life easier, right?
peace
