A possible tournament

[makinbakin123]

Hey all. Basically, I've always thought there should be some ranking system or tournament for Napoleonic Wars. I'm proposing an Unofficial Napoleonic Wars Tournament. The most logical way of doing it would probably be in linebattles at some scheduled time during the weekend. It would include hopefully include 32 regiments and the set up would be bracketed, sort of like march madness. I think it should take place over the summer say.. June through August. There should be a cash prize. And if there should be a cash prize, there should also be a fee to register. For example, let's say to join the tournament a regiment must pay 50 USD (via paypal). If there were 32 teams that paid the register fee, there could be a large cash prize for the winners such as $500, $300 for second and $100 for third. And your regiment could have the chance to crown themselves "Best Regiment NA" Sorry to say, the tournament would exclude EU regiments unless they are willing to play late at night. Now I know it seems this is all big and odd, but like I said Napoleonic Wars should have a ranking system. Of course I couldn't do this all on my own so I would need other people to help me run it. I'll take any advice there is on this. I would love to see regiments jump at the opportunity. Thanks

Edit: I have moved this to general napoleonic wars. Any comments you have, please find the thread there. Thanks

There have been plenty of competative linebattle leagues for the mount and musket installment but there never has been much interest for a NW league from what I've seen.

Good luck though, NW need some more competative events.

1 vs 1 linebattles are not very amusing in my opinion. Would rather see a tournament for 3 vs 3 at the least.
Also 50 USD entry fee is a lot. And I doubt that 32 US regiments have the disillusion to think that they can get the first, second or third place. (Does the US community even have 32 active and skilled line infantry regiments?)

Well yeah. I was using 50 USD as an example. I've talked to other people and they say that currently the community isn't ready for cash prizes and such. So right now I'm looking for regiments to participate in a tournament. I need at least 6 other regiments. Please contact makinbakin on steam if you're looking to enter. Thanks

In my opinion they are the most annoyable of all kinds of linebattles. Though I'm an infantry guy and I don't want to get shot every freaking round. What seems to happen in these huge linebattles a lot. = Long waiting cba. 

But anyway, goodluck with hosting something like that. I can ensure you that this will be very hard to organise. For the fact that there are quite some "trollish" regiments in this community who easily break rules for example, and quite some regiments can not bring up the numbers then they say they can. And then the times.

I would say you must make it very interesting for regiments to join this. Basicly a tournament without prizes is somewhat pointless (in my POV) to regimental leaders. That would be just the same as their own regular linebattles. And now they might even need to fight regiments they don't even want to fight.

I've been thinking of having something like this as well quite a while ago, however like I'm saying, it's just to hard and the risk of failure is to high to give it a try. However I wish you once again the best of luck with this. I hope you can set something good up.

A prize could be as simple as an avatar, signature, banner or medal. Anything that makes a regiment seem "better" or more "famous" than other regiments is good enough prize for most people.
