Blah rule about not being able to host Shoddy tournaments on the Battle Stadium board; I suggest a subsection is made. Shoddy is 10000000x better than Wi-Fi, so I think it deserves a board as much as Wi-Fi does. It's pretty necessary to have a board for them in order to run Suspect Tests and such. (And I can't see how anything bad could possibly come of it...)

Shoddy threads were banned because you can just organize Shoddy tournaments using the program. I mean, Wifi doesn't have a chatroom feature, but Shoddy does. :#
The chatroom is hardly enough to host a tournament, especially with the constant nonsense and Mike yelling "BAMBINO" every once in a while.

Besides, the point of a tournament (in most cases) is to get results. You don't get any viable results from last minute tournaments.

I agree, why not make a little sub forum for the shoddy people?

Ah, this sounds interesting. What with the 'supposed' lack of lag on Shoddy, a subsection for it would seem very useful. However, one would state that a bit of sense is required there, possibly an enforcement of the 4WR, but as a whole I think it -could- work.

I'm in support of this.

Just a quick question...If we do indeed get the shoddy subforum, well it be modeled like the wifi battle stadium is right now? That is...Quick Battle thread at the top and separate threads and tournaments in the body and stuff like that? I only ask because wifi battling is a bit different from Shoddy in the sense that it doesn't take as much work to coordinate battle, and battles also go much quicker on Shoddy as well.

I like the idea though ^_^

Since that's being discussed with the staff, perhaps making a social group and use that to organize events and whatnot? Post dates of the tournament in the description of the group and invite people who would like to participate to join the group. Thinking about that idea, it sounds like it would be much more organized and would encourage more activity in that aspect of the community.

IIRC, every tourney ever held in shoddy PC server failed to be completed. If this is a serious issue, it should be treated seriously by giving punishment to participants who don't complete their battles in time. I partly blame the fact that we don't have a working ladder system to test our teams, but that only holds a small past in this issue.
