Making Mule Tournaments

[Drilan]

 A few months ago I suggested to players how cool it would be to make a tournament at end of year and most of them agreed and said it would be awesome and they suggested some things on their own. The Tournament will be like this: Only 64 players qualify for it. Every player has to accumulate an amount of wins throughout the year to be able to compete, Example: 50 wins. Why so much?? cause we want the best players on it and in some way get players to play many games as possible. 1st round of tournament would be a 16 game shootout (16x4=64 players). Only 16 players moves on to Semi-Finals and every round consist of 9 games each. The 1st player to win 3 games on his match out of 9, moves on. Why 9?? cause if every player has 2 wins(4x2= 8 games) there has to be a decisive 9 to see who moves on. The Semi-Final round would be the same as 1st, the difference is that is a 4 game shootout (4x4=16 players left) and only the 4 players that wins 3 games on its respective matches, are the ones to move on to The Finals. Finals would be different. It consist of a 17 game marathon, the 1st player to get to 5 wins is our Grand Mule Champion of that year! And planetmule staff can gave the Champ some bonuses like: making a new color on their planeteer of his/her choice, T-shirts , caps , even money$$$ ,etc. etc...
If anyone has new cool suggestions, feel free to write it down and make this happen in a near future.

50 wins in a year is too high.

Guys! remember I mentioned that 50 wins is just an example. Thats why players suggestions and ideas are welcome to make it happen and to be fair for all of us. But the real thing is this: I said 50 for many reasons and I will explain why. 50 wins is based on math, time, skill and a few other things. A year has 52 weeks right? If the tournament becomes a reality and qualification starts on January 1st, then we have 48 weeks to reach the 50 win mark, leaving the last 4 weeks of the year for the Tournament. That means that every players has to win only 1.1 games a week !!! Trying to win just 1 game a week is too much to ask?? I think not. Every week you see like 10 to 15 players that manage to win at least 2 games and there are 23,628 players registered here. Assuming that 20K of them are 1 account players and the other 3,628 are SMURFS! Is still a lot of players that can reach the 50 mark. Even the 1st 500 ranked players coulndnt find it that difficult cause they show good skills and willingness. We are only asking for 64 players out of 20K that there already are. The main purpose of this, is also to look for the more skillful players to compete and to make it a privilege to be there cause you earn it based on skills.
