What About RANK Tornaments ?
Virtuoso vs Virtuoso
Professional vs Professional
Adept vs Adept

Each Tornament on a random table, (dosnt tell you until you enter the actual room)

Either 8 Ball UK or 8 Ball USA
That way it will bring your skillz up on both tables and it wont be to hard because you'll be playing against somebody in your own rank genre

What do you think ?

not a bad idea - but how would you determine the tournament winner??

and what if there are say 1 adept and 5 pros online?

i think it is a great idea m8 in principal.....

however adept against adept could be 799 against 701 - not really the same level.

also, when i first joined i took great satisfaction of knocking a pro or a virt out of a competition as very rarely would you get the chance to play them otherwise.

but it really is something to consider for the future

ummmm i dont mean all in one Tornment lol, i mean a tornament for each of the ranks maby not virtoso because there not that many of em so what about a somethink like below,

1 Tornament, Professional + virtoso VS professional + virtoso

Another Tornament, Adept + intermidet VS Adept + Intermidet

then its an equal playing field

And great point bigmerv, but maby if the lower ranked people of (adept + intermidet) be put with other lower rank (adept + intermidet) (gose for the same with Virtoso + professional)

then EVERYONE in each rank class has a chance of of winning the torny,

because at the minet it seems to be all the top top players winning ( you have to come on early morning to even get a look in :D )

And also mixing the tables between 8 ball UK and 8 ball USA Cuts down the number of tornys and also gives some people a chance

You might be good on UK table but useless on USA table, there for getting people playing on both tables
Using there good and strong points within the games

Yeah, Flumpy mate your right. Or what if something like one Virtuoso 16 Professionals and three Newbies 12 Intermediates and one Novice entered. That means that the Virtuoso and the Novice have no opponent to play so they would have an automatic tournament win and then the Newbies would have a Semi-Final and one of them would have a BYE into the final.(Not really fair).
It's a good idea but you would need at least 16-32 of each rank(Novice to Virtuoso(or at least Newbie to Virtuoso).

You could change this tournament idea from Adept vs Adept, Professional vs Professional etc. into a Random tournament, which is, for example:
In Round 1 people can get either race to 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 in either game type and in Round 2 the same thing, Round the same thing and so on.
It's sort of an okay idea I think, but it all depends on what you other guys think.

That's my answer to the player ranks versus each other with the same ranking and that my idea to make this thread change into a Random Tournament thread.(If k_o_p wants it because he is the thread owner.)

If he allows it, you can have full credit to the idea mate.

well in that case, I have to disagree.

There are already 24 tournaments per day as is, and many would priortise the bigger tournaments anyway.

And then for winning one, there is not as great of an achievement as winning a normal tournament

niall, only virt in us 8, hmmm wonder how many he will win being only player who virtuoso at moment.

uk 8 ball, only 3 virtuoso at moment, torny with 3 players.


us 9 ball, 8 virts, torny with 8 players.



a lot of pros like myself dont play rank so wont enter a ranked torny,

only players i think this will suit is adept players

That's the disadvantage of this tournament idea.

I think we should go along with my idea, the Random Tournament.

Don't you all think that.

say 35 enterd the torny, then the odd one out plays the first one that looses there games

when it gets to the semi finals

like this

1 - 3
1 - 4
1 - 5
2 - 1 Players 2 & 1 go out, they took 22 mins
2 - 3
2 - 4
2 - 5
3 - 4
3 - 5
4 - 5

The players that take the longest finishing there games gose out

Still left with 3 players,

3 VS 4 3 - winner of match, 18 mins to finish
4 VS 5 4 - winner of match 20 mins to finish
5 VS 3 5 - winner of match 15 mins to finish

the two that finish there games first, the winner of that game wins the tornament

Good point, Damien. Players could just not play ranked so they can enter the Intermediate tournaments so that they have an easier chance of winning it.
This tournament suggestion has a lot of disadvantages.
I think we should go with the Random Tournament idea.

Lol, we're just suggesting that there's disadvantages to this lol, but in all honesty, I don't think we should be coming up with ideas about tournaments being added as the tournament schedule is full and Nick will not add in anymore. (Unless he's re-doing the tournament schedule and decides to stick one of these suggestions in).
