Title: Bracket tourney
Post by: XD9 on February 21, 2016, 03:15:01 am
Wondering if anyone has ever tried a bracket tourney march madness style for a dominion league.  Would also be cool to have each division leader in the dominion league do a playoff.

There were a lot of different ideas thrown around and a lot of discussion (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=10331.0) as to what the league would look like when it was originally forming.

Other tournaments such as GokoDom  (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?board=22.0)and f.ds Championships (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?board=65.0) have all been organized as well that are different formats than the league. 

In the end it is really a matter of organization and interest.  Running a large-scale tournament or league takes a lot of time and effort (Kirian, Stef, and others can attest to that), and so those types of tournaments happen infrequently. 

But basically, yes.  Tournaments have been run in a bracket style tourney before.  Having each division leader do a playoff was discussed at one point I think, but rejected.  I don't remember the reason exactly but I agree with not running a system like that.  In my opinion it would cause way too much delay starting the next season.
