Forum:YVD Tournament Rules

Rules
Mainly the basic rules I believe to be are: -If there are any rules that I left out that should be listed, please let me know.
 * What should be the limit of contestants?
 * How long do competing contestants have to complete a Match?
 * What happens to a contestant that does not complete their Match in the given time?
 * What happens to contestants that do not get along are put into a Match?
 * How do we arrange with who is going against who?

Yugioh DED's suggestions

 * I think the total number of contestants should be 32.
 * I say contestants have three days to complete their Match.
 * The obvious answer I believe to a person that doesn't complete their Match in the given time will be disqualified, and the other person will move on to the next round.
 * About two contestants that do not get along being put into a Match; I think we should separate them, choose another two contestants (preferably ones that also do not get along as well), and switch their places with each other.
 * I honestly do not know how to arrange who would go against who.  Yugioh DED ( talk  •  contribs ) 18:56, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Pato's Suggestions
I think we should make a list of the people that are wanting 2 get in, like this:

Drew-Gi-Oh!'s suggestions(1)

 * What should be the limit of contestants? 16-64.
 * How long do competing contestants have to complete a Match? a week at max
 * What happens to a contestant that does not complete their Match in the given time? Disqualify both, I suppose.
 * What happens to contestants that do not get along are put into a Match? it's life, deal with it.
 * How do we arrange with who is going against who? I suppose you could always do the random matchups like in random tournaments. Or maybe by skill level or something, however that could be arranged.

 * Disqualifying both players would be bad, meaning that there'd be an odd amount of players that would end up in the Semi-Finals. Also, a week for a Match? a little TOO long, wouldn't you say? People would take that advantage and duel at the last minute.--- Yugioh DED ( talk  •  contribs ) 22:16, August 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well some people are busy with school and stuff. Give them a week. Also Drew I'm doing the matchups. Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 23:49, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Falzar FZ's suggestions

 * What should be the limit of contestants? I prefer exactly 4 or 8 or 16; although 6 is ok as well
 * How long do competing contestants have to complete a Match? A week seems reasonable
 * What happens to a contestant that does not complete their Match in the given time? Sudden Death... idk
 * What happens to contestants that do not get along are put into a Match? Have someone watching; as judge (I think that's a function on YVD, but I haven't used it before)
 * How do we arrange with who is going against who? RNG
 * Also, the the table I was asked to make should be good. It currently has a table of matchups (with the forks and stuff (ASCII art = win)), times and I was thinking of adding a section on deck names. Any thoughts on what else I might add? -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 02:25, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Falzar, I was thinking that we should get a list of everyone's decklist to Pato (of course because he's in charge of keeping track of things), as well as their Side Deck. It's going to be a little of a hassle, but who ever will be against who, I'm going to have to give each oher their opponent's deck. Therefore, we know that, 1, none of the players BEFORE the Match Side Deck/Main Deck a card that they didn't have Side'd/Main'd before JUST to get an advantage over the opponent, and 2, so one of the players can in fact tell us if his/her opponent used such cards (Ex. System Down, etc.). Sound good?--- Yugioh DED ( talk  •  contribs ) 05:06, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Yugioh DED's suggestions
Well, I think the most reasonable answer as to if someone doesn't complete their Match in the given time is that the other person will be moving on, but if BOTH seem to not be participating, I guess Falzar's idea works; whoever messages Fallensilence that they're on first will move on (any better suggestions of the situation are welcomed). And I was also thinking, Pato, that I'll start gathering everybody's YVD username (after we have enough players; 16 the tops then), give it to you for storage, then when the official page is being made, Falzar, Pato will give the usernames for you to put up by everyone's Yugioh Wikia username.--- Yugioh DED ( talk  •  contribs ) 04:55, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Fallensilence's suggestions
This may be a stupid question but are we using traditional or official? Official sounds the best. Especially with the new ban list coming up, I'd like to see what comes up, especially to see what happens to the top tiers. Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 05:15, August 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think you mean "advanced" instead of official. Yeah of course advanced. This is another reason why starting the tournament in a few days is REALLY bad. Since they'll have to post their decklists, and since you can only have 1 list, the banlist would.....be a little too messy on the tournament's part.--- Yugioh DED ( talk  •  contribs ) 05:19, August 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * This is really going to build suspense. I can't wait to see what happens in the tournament. And for the banlist, I wouldn't say messy, I would say "clean-up" mistakes to make everything fair. By the way good job on gathering people, you gathered more people in the YVD tournament and plus you gathered a team! Nice! Well I'd like to see how things end up on September 10th! Man this is like planning a party. Have I said that yet? Oh well. I think we got most of the rules covered up so yeah great job everyone. Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 05:24, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Drew-Gi-Oh!'s suggestions (2)
Except for the fact there hasn't been a really reasonable object to what happens if the Match hasn't been completed in time. I mean, how would you determine who would go? A coin toss? No Thanks. Sudden Death? Yeah, because both players can do a sudden death match instead of a regular match. I was thinking, maybe it could be either a.) Voluntary Surrender (Like in the latest tournament where Fallen's Comp wasn't working) OR Decklist Comparation. I.E. you look at the Decklists and judges would decide which would seem to be victorious, IN A WORST-CASE SCENARIO, IF NEITHER DUELIST CAN REACH A DESIGNATED TIME. Like if it were Worms VS. Ally of Justice, the outcome could probaly be ruled in the favor of AOJ if it's Deckbuild was superior. Any other suggestions? --Drew-Gi-Oh! (talk) 05:32, August 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well I really would look down on seeing which deck is better to see who goes to the next match. Voluntary Surrender is great. Sudden Death would be perfect if they don't have enough time. Double KO would be perfect if they don't make the deadline and I can rearrange the next match a little easier. However I might think of making another loser's round by deckbuild.
