Tournament on 1/7/17(Saturday): Sign-up Here!
VOD Part 1 Here!
Part 2 Here!
Hey hows it going everyone Dusk here with some exciting news. I am glad to officially announce a bi/weekly tournament for Minus. One issue I have with this games competitive seen is that we don't really get to see many tournaments. To counteract this I decided to make my own set of tournaments that would incorporate a few ideas by competitive members of the community. One thing I want to do is add a seasonal stage list to add variety. Also seeding, I don't think there ever has been a Minus tournament with seeding so we might as well start somewhere. Another thing I want to mention is that many of these matches may not be streamed unless I can find someone who will dedicate the stream to this or if I decide to stream that day. I will do my best to at least attempt to stream the "finals" for each tournament, although I cannot promise I will nor can I promise there will be commentary. If you are willing to stream it completely please let me know and we will work something out.
Being the first tournament of the season the poll will be open until the season begins. You will be able to vote for two stages to be dropped from the current list of legal stages. The stages being dropped will be replaced by Pokemon Stadium 1 and Metal Cavern. One will be a counter and the other will be a starter. I will also take executive action and have another poll to either take off Lylat and Halberd completely or to replace them with Yoshi's Brawl and Castle Siege. So as the community it is up to you to decide the fate of these stages. Decide wisely as you will be playing with this stage list for a season.

Will Lylat and/or Halberd be reconsidered as legal stages if they are temporarily replaced?

Currently the community seems to not like the stages at all so I might not consider it or if I do I'll they won't be packaged together.

how do you plan on managing the schedule between bi-weeklies and weeklies?

Great question, as of now I will push for a tournament as long as I can get a TO. Also I'm still debating on whether or not it should be weekly or bi-weekly, might do a poll for that. For sure I won't run a tournament if there's a bigger tournament planned like a BS or an official.

If you do them biweekly, i can definitly find the time to stream at least the 3 finals games once i get my computer. Ican also upload the vods to my channel if youd like.

Spear Pillar and Lavender Town won the vote, so why is Pokemon Stadium 2 being replaced?
Click to expand...
Spear Pillar and Ps2 were voted out just typo'd Lavender town thanks for pointing it out!

Edit: I looked at the post I saw the old poll was linked before you could vote and saw that one had different results. There was another poll at the top of the page that people ignored I guess that had Spear Pillar at number and PS2 tying with LT. I decided to remove PS2 because I put both in an RNG machine and got PS2 as the outcome. Seeing as the other poll removed Lavender Town puts me in a pickle. Also I didn't know that poll still existed until right now and I said the poll closed two days ago. I don't know why the website kept on linking to that poll when I remember switching the hyperlink on it.
Edit 2: I'm stupid it linked to the same poll.
