Okay, unlike Scat I love tournaments. They get me all giddy inside. I honestly think their the best thing, that's why I signed up.
BUT the way you've gone about it is really dumb. Why do we need another title when NOBODY was asking for one? It confuses me because it isn't necessary. After being scrapped for an active set of competitors to flesh out the league, we're spreading it out even more? We aren't at that scale yet, and making another title is just going to make match ups even less diverse. Everybody's going to get tile shots, and I don't want to be the guy who takes this too seriously, but it doesn't make sense to me.
And don't even get me started on that stupid ass rule against major reversals. That's the only thing that keeps this fucking game balanced.
As for the overall rules of the league, I agree with
@Roadster completely (not that you asked me to begin with)
If you were to this tournament the right way, make it for the number one contendership for the World title, runner up gets an IC Title shot. We don't need a Universal Championship (did anybody other than you even like that name?)
Just let us go crazy playing 2K17 cause it's actually really fun when I'm not worrying about whether or not I've used 3 major reversals (lastly, the banned moves list is way too long, i say
unban everything and if somethings gotta go as weeks go on, it's gotta go)
