    Only people who have signed up to the team tournament may reply to this thread (other than myself since I am seemingly now running this lol). What format do you want the tournament to take? I have some suggestions: Collab battle -Number of rounds - One -Each team makes a collab. A public vote or judging will decide who wins. Knock-Out Tournament -Number of rounds - 8 teams - 3 rounds - 4 teams - 2 rounds -Each round matchups are made. -The losing team is eliminated. Swiss Tournament -Set number of rounds (can be any number) -No teams are eliminated. -You always battle the team that is closest to you in score. -Read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss-system_tournament Or you guys can suggest something else. I am strongly suggesting against a World Cup style system as this will be a very long tournament if that system is adopted.

    Collabs should be for qualification/finals/tiebreakers. Just ask the teams how many battles they're roughly interested in.

    i think Swiss would be a nice format,but lets go for Knock out! @Mats i think that there should be themes for rounds to,like... R1=Doubles R2=Wipers R3=Creativity it would be a nice ideia to train people

    Some ppl cant do wipers very well, (idk who,) wouldnt that put them at a disadvantage? It would make better sense to switch out wipers with Difficulty or something. and what do you mean by Doubles?

    Double is a video featuring two people. So two people from each team go head to head as part of the matchup, for example: Spinner 1 vs spinner A spinner 2 vs spinner B spinner 3 and 4 vs vs spinner C and D All matches worth 1 points, so 2 points win the round.

    So is it going to be just a collab battle or will it have themes?

    Everyone so far has voted for knock-out tournament, not collab battle.

    It should be collab battle for qualifications and/or finals. And knock out before/after qualifications and/or finals. That should make it more interesting o:

    So. If we were to do knock-out (my vote), each team would send one combo for each round period? Or one combo from each competitor?

    It's not exactly a "Tournament" per se, if it's a Collab batte. I'm going with Swiss format, i'd want to have more battles.

    Knock out, then Collab battle for the finals. :D

    See my reply to DJspin on page 1 of the thread to see how it works.
