The layout of live tournaments - brainstorm

Note: Normally at every game update time, all ongoing battles are removed. It will be made like this: only 24 hours passed since battle start date battles will get deleted. Thus, tournaments will not get affected

Official live tournaments will be saturday and sunday

There will be 4 tournaments based on different time zones

a) USA time zone - 1 AM game time , 20 PM local time (Saturday 1 AM, Sunday 1 AM)
b) Other time zone - 8 AM game time (Saturday 8 AM, Sunday 8 AM)
c) India time zone - 15 PM game time , 20 PM local time (Saturday 15 PM, Sunday 15 PM)
d) Germany time zone - 22 PM game time , 20 PM local time (Saturday 22 PM, Sunday 22 PM)

A player will be able to enter every tournaments in a day

A player can join with maximum 1 of his/her account. Using multi accounts are ban reason. Also from 1 IP only 1 account will be allowed to register tournament battles

A Pokemon will be available to use only 1 tournament each day. So if you use your Pokemon then trade it, the other player will not able to use it in that day's Tournament

Tournament registrations will start 1 hour before starting time and you will be able to register the tournament until 10 minute left

Once the last 10 minutes left, you wont be able to change your team or remove your registrations

When registering tournament, it will register your current bag team

Once the tournament starts, you wont be able to change or modify your team

After the tournament registration, if you change any of your registered Pokemon, it will be removed from your team

For example evolving or de-evolving your Pokemon, trading your Pokemon, releasing it into the wilderness

If no Pokemon lefts in your registered team due to above issues, you will be automatically counted as lost the battle

Tournament flow will be like below

Once the registrations end, every registered player will be randomly matched to someone else randomly

For example lets say 7 players registered to the tournament as Player 1 to Player 7

First round will be as below

Player 1 vs Player 3 : Winner Player 3
Player 2 vs Player 6 : Winner Player 2
Player 5 vs Player 4 : Winner Player 5
Player 7 - automatically counted as winner

Second round

Player 3 vs Player 5 : Winner Player 3
Player 2 vs Player 7 : Winner Player 7

Final round

Player 3 vs Player 7 : Winner Player 3

There will be also a match between Player 5 and Player 2 for to be ranked as 3

Player 5 vs Player 2 : Winner Player 2

Rank 1 : Player 3
Rank 2 : Player 7
Rank 3 : Player 2

So it will be always 1 match : winner moves up and loser get eliminated

For every match you win, you will get 1 tournament point (unless your enemy is automatically counted as a loser)

Once the tournament ends, number 3 ranked player will get extra 3 points, number 2 ranked player will get 5 extra points and number 1 will get extra 10 tournament points

Also every player will get money reward like this = 200,000 * Number of Collected Tournament points + 200,000 * (1.3 ^ Number of Collected Tournament points)

Player 1 gets 0 gold
Player 2 gets (1+3) * 200,000 + 1.3^4 * 200,000 = 800,000 + 2.85 * 200,000 = 800,000 + 570,000 = 1,370,000 gold
Player 3 gets (3+10) * 200,000 + 1.3^13 * 200,000 = 2,600,000 + 30.28 * 200,000 = 2,600,000 + 6,056,000 = 8,656,000 gold
Player 4 gets 0 gold
Player 5 gets 1 * 200,000 + 1.3^1 * 200,000 = 460,000 gold
Player 6 gets 0 gold
Player 7 gets (1+5) * 200,000 + 1.3^6 * 200,000 = 1,200,000 + 4.82 * 200,000 = 1,200,000 + 964,000 = 2,164,000 gold

Also the number 1 player will get 3 shiny eggs, number 2 player will get 3 legendary eggs, number 3 player will get 3 ultra rare eggs and the rest of the players will get 3 rare egg as rewards

The match starting times will be like below

Lets say tournamen starting date is 8 AM so the registrations will be closed at 7:50 AM

At the 8 AM you will be automatically entered live PvP tournament match

If you are in a NPC or wild Pokemon battle, those battles will be deleted and your live PvP match will start

However, if you are in any other match such as live PvP or ELO league battle etc, your tournament match will still start but it will be computer controlled

Even if your current match ends, you still won't be able to do live match. So make sure that you are not in any battle before the tournament matches starting time

The tournament battles will be limited to 30 minutes

If in 30 minutes the battle does not end, 1 of the player will be randomly chosen as a winner

So at 8:30 AM, all matches will be ended and the next round versues will be decided

There will be resting time between 8:30 AM and 8:40 AM

At 8:40 AM, round 2 will start

At 9:10 AM, the round 2 will be ended and at 9:20 AM, round 3 will start

At 9:50 AM, the round 3 will be ended and at 10:00 AM, round 4 will start

This will continue until the final round starts

At the same time of final round, there will be also match between number loser of the 1 before round of final round players to determine number 3 player

Restrictions

At saturday official tournaments there will be no class restriction

At sunday official tournaments, the allowed classes will be one of the below ones randomly chosen

{Common}, {Uncommon}, {Rare}, {Ultra Rare}, {Starter | Legendary}
{Shiny Common | Shiny Uncommon | Shiny Rare | Shiny Ultra Rare | Shiny Starter | Shiny Legendary}
{Mega Common | Mega Uncommon | Mega Rare | Mega Ultra Rare | Mega Starter}
{Mega Legendary}
{Shiny Mega Common | Shiny Mega Uncommon | Shiny Mega Rare | Shiny Mega Ultra Rare | Shiny Mega Starter}
{Shiny Mega Legendary}

So total 10 different groups

You will be able to use any of the allowed filter class Pokemon however only 1 Id of a Pokemon will be allowed

So you won't be able to use same Pokemon Id twice in your Pokemon team



Player composed tournaments

Any player will be able to start their own tournament

To compose your own tournament, you will be need to distribute at least 5 million gold reward yourself

The amount of gold reward you have determined for the tournament will be immediately deducted from your account as soon as you compose the tournament

Collecting gold from participating players are strictly against rules and will get you get banned. So you have to put your own gold yourself alone

The player determined money will be distributed like below

Number 1 player of the tournament gets 50%, number 2 gets 30% and number 3 gets 20% of the tournament reward gold

The player will be able to select composition any filter class Pokemon as a filter

For example players can make a tournament where only Common and Shiny Mega Rare class Pokemon allowed

Players will be able to ban any player from joining that tournament. The ban will be only for that specific tournament

Players will be able to set start date of the tournament (at least 1 hours later than the composition time and maximum 24 hours later than the composition time)

Registrations to the tournament will start immediately until 10 minutes lef to the start date

Players will be able to set maximum match duration time among 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 minutes (30 minutes in official tournaments)

Players will be able to set rest time between matches among 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 minutes (10 minutes in official tournaments)

Players will be able to set maximum tournament size among 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 and unlimited players (default unlimited in official tournaments)

Players will be able to allow only account bound Pokemon to be used or not as an allowed team filter

Players will be able to set minimum or maximum allowed Pokemon level as an allowed team filter

If Pokemon Id or level (only if maximum level filter is applied) of registered Pokemon changes, those will be removed from your team like in official tournaments. If your team get 0 Pokemon, you will be automatically counted as defeated

The rest of the user composed tournaments flow is same as official tournaments



All tournament ranking results and gained rewards will be sent as a private message to the user

All tournaments battle results and rankings history will be kept

Ok,CeF^^Ill put my gold in tourneies^^

[StopBanning]

Where is the tourney page?

[aviad]

let's say 128 players registered. we'll have 7 half hours with 7 10min breaks, so a total of 7*30 +70= 280 min== 4 hours and 40 minutes.
How do you expect people to wait these long? I don't believe that new players will be willing to wait this long...timing must be reduced, 10 minutes each round, and if everyone completes before maybe a PM about next round starting time with 5 minutes break between.
this sounds more reasonable to me

[StopBanning]

avaid,will u answer my question?

[CeFurkan]

Where is the tourney page?

it is not ready yet

this is just discussion

we can reduce match time to 20 minutes and breaks to 5 minutes if everyone is agree

[StopBanning]

CeFurkan,thank you for letting me know^^Let me know when the tourney page is ready^^

[CeFurkan]

if battle remains below round 10, and if it is still not ended in 20 minutes, both participants will be counted as a loser

if battle continue until 20 minutes, one of the players will be randomly chosen as a winner

maximum battle time will be 20 minutes

next round of battle will start after 5 minutes of the current round all matches ending

Seems a bit complicated Cef, I agree with Aviad. You should limit the max amount of entrants to say 32 per tournament and have a knock out tournament. And the reward structure should be changed to make it more balanced and easier to understand.

Every win - +1 additional tournament point

If you made it to last 32 - 1 tournament points + 1 common egg
Last 16 - 3 tournament points + 1 uncommon egg
Last 8 - 5 tournament points + 1 rare egg
Last 4 - 7 tournament points + 2 rare eggs
4th place - 10 tournament points + 3 rare eggs
3rd place - 12 tournament points + 1 ultra rare egg
2nd place - 15 tournament points + 1 legendary egg
1st place - 20 tournament points + 1 shiny egg

Every 5 tournament points can be traded to say 1 silver medal. 

This way everyone participating will know what rewards they can get.

my rewards are better

32 players per tournament too much restriction

however we have decided this

if all battles in that round ends, after 5 minute immediately new round will begin

a private message will be sent to all players 5 minute before round begins

maximum allowed time for tournament matches will be 20 minutes

if enemy player misses total 10 moves, he will be automatically counted as a loser

if enemy player is not online (i will count last 10 minute as online), computer will control his account

once your account is computer controlled, you can not get it back

[kunwarkharbanda]

"if enemy player is not online (i will count last 10 minute as online), computer will control his account

once your account is computer controlled, you can not get it back"

what if he was online 10 mins ago, went offline 5 misn before tourny starts and is back before the match starts

will it be computer controlled or live pvp

[CeFurkan]

"if enemy player is not online (i will count last 10 minute as online), computer will control his account

what if he was online 10 mins ago, went offline 5 misn before tourny starts  and is back  before the match starts

will it be computer controlled or live pvp

even if he comes 30 seconds before match starts, he will be counted as online

but make sure you refresh any page or logout login back etc

otherwise would be computer controlled

however we may add this feature

take control of ongoing battle button in tournament page

i am thinking about that too

[kunwarkharbanda]

that would be excellent if u can have " take control of ongoing battle button""

its good if same button can also be for elo live matches or gw live matches as well

[CeFurkan]

that would be excellent if u can have  " take control of ongoing battle button""

its good if same button can also be for elo live matches or gw live matches as well

those matches are already live

[kunwarkharbanda]

isnt take control of ongoing battle means ,, if its cpu control and u come online few seconds alte u can switch from cpu controlled to live pvp ??

now if elo or gw starts as cpu control and player comes after 1 turn or 2 turn it stays cpu

[SeaQueen]

This sounds fun

I like how we'll be using different a randomly selected class and that players can easily set up their own tour ^^

[CeFurkan]

isnt take control of ongoing battle means  ,, if its cpu control and u come online few seconds alte u can switch from cpu controlled to live pvp ??

now if elo or gw starts as cpu control and player comes after 1 turn or 2 turn it stays cpu

yes it is that way

they start only as live if you have selected from your control panel and activated

but this gave me an idea

i can add take control button to ELO PvP match screen and Guild War screen

[zap10]

Well whatever, once you're done please make a detailed guide to all this and simplified enough so we'd all understand. All this seems to complicated. Also how are you going to structure the tournament? Knockout style? Group stage? Literally I've got no idea on whats going on.

it will be knockout style so you either win or lose and leave the tournament

also if you were not online at the beginning of match but later arrived, you will be able to take control of the match just like we have added for ELO PvP battles and Guild War battles

[Rule Follower]
