Since a lot of you voted yes or maybe in participating in a fediverse tournament, I've decided to give hosting a tournament a go.
Mark October 14th at 6pm UTC on your calendars, for the Splatoon 3 Fediverse Championships!
Anyone can participate in this tournament, as long as you have an account on a social media website that supports the ActivityPub protocol (Lemmy and Kbin excluded, I'd recommend joining a Mastodon server, like here at https://wetdry.world if you only have a Lemmy or Kbin ActivityPub account).
You'll need to assemble a team of 4 players. I'm not setting up any Discord server for this, but I'd highly recommend scrolling through the replies on this post or making a reply with contact information and your splashtag.
Edit: I believe @Butterfree made a Discord server that people can join at https://discord.gg/BjeGAfcG
For full details and rules, please visit the tournament page [lethallava.land].
Teams must be registered by 09/10/23, if you want to pull out of the tournament please let me know before 10/10/23.
If there's a Splatfest, Big Run or Grizzco Random Weapons Rotation, the tournament will be rescheduled.
No prizes will be given out during this event.

@splatoon@splatoon@lemmy.world I shared a bit of information before it started and I just want to flag up two posts of people looking for teammates if you'd like to get in contact with them
@experiencer@lethallava.land@splatoon@wetdry.world @splatoon@lemmy.world [lemmy.world] I'm not quite sure whether the tournament page link is working correctly on Firefish, so here's the link

@splatoon@wetdry.world @splatoon@lemmy.world [lemmy.world] this is cool. The web page is nice too. Though I know it says that there isn’t a rank minimum, but an X rank recommendation for battles. There is no way I’ll be able to make X rank by that time.
I guess that means I’d get knocked out in the early stages. But I accept that fate. Haha.
@splatoon@curious_robot @splatoon@lemmy.world you're A rank right?
I'd completely embarrass myself if I wasn't hosting and I entered, I'm B rank.
The web page thing is just something that Misskey and its forks offer, just something easy to use.
Just because you don't have X rank by the way doesn't mean you're not good
@splatoon@wetdry.world @splatoon@lemmy.world [lemmy.world] yea, clawed my way up but yea. This is true.
Haha it’s a shame you won’t get to play too, though it’s a big undertaking to organise a tournament, I really hope we get enough people. Even if it’s just 4 teams. :)
@splatoon@wetdry.world @splatoon@lemmy.world [lemmy.world]
Would you consider having at least best-of-3 sets, and also possibly a double-elimination format for the tournament? As it stands, a single-elim one-game tourney means that half of the players that make time for the event will play probably not more than 5 minutes of gameplay.
@one_suit_samus @splatoon@wetdry.world @splatoon@lemmy.world [lemmy.world]
I agree with this, Single-match sets would be way too short to play, one match could last anywhere between 45 or so seconds and 5+ minutes.
Meaning that most teams could have a really short run in the tourney.
Also, a single-elim format might be way too punishing for teams considering how much variance in skill levels we could have here
@splatoon@AbsentAria @one_suit_samus @splatoon@lemmy.world I'll make a change to best-of-3 now, thank you for the feedback
@experiencer@lethallava.land@splatoon@wetdry.world @AbsentAria@neovibe.app @one_suit_samus@retro.pizza @splatoon@lemmy.world [lemmy.world] by the way, I was a bit confused about double elimination, so I didn't add that to the changes I've made
I'm not entirely sure how double elimination works in the bracket system that we will be hopefully using since obviously a team gets eliminated if they lose the best of 3 lol
@experiencer @splatoon @one_suit_samus The traditional bracket systems should work with double-elim formats. It just means we have a losers bracket as well so it takes two losses to be knocked out the tourney and if you lose once you still have a chance at winning.
@experiencer@lethallava.land@AbsentAria@neovibe.app @splatoon@wetdry.world @one_suit_samus@retro.pizza ah I see
I'm not ruling out having a losers bracket when it happens, but it's not in my plans right now if that's alright
Thank you both for all the help and support, I'm super new to this stuff
@splatoon@wetdry.world @splatoon@lemmy.world [lemmy.world]
So I am looking for a team and was wondering who would like to join in?
@Butterfree and @NorthWestWind@wetdry.world are you still interested in making a team together?
@Binette sure sure! who's gonna be the 4th one? My Switch friend code is in my bio!
@Butterfree
We're going to fish for a 4th one! Hopefully someone asks.
I'll add you as soon as I'm home 
! Thanks for joining in 
@Binette @splatoon @Butterfree Yeah! I'm still interested!
@splatoon@wetdry.world @splatoon@lemmy.world [lemmy.world] @Butterfree @NorthWestWind@wetdry.world
Um so I got a big problem...
I wouldn't be available for Friday the 15th due to school, but if it's Saturday the 16th I would be able to play.
@Binette @splatoon@wetdry.world @splatoon@lemmy.world [lemmy.world] @NorthWestWind@wetdry.world same for me now that i think of it. the bus for me is a long way home, and im not aware of my college schedule, really. so there's a chance i might miss it
@splatoon@Butterfree @NorthWestWind @Binette did I seriously mess up the dates?
It was supposed to be a Saturday, not a Friday
so as a PSA for everyone since I'm going to boost this: the tournament is on Saturday 16th September not Friday 15th September
@splatoon@wetdry.world @Butterfree@lethallava.land [lethallava.land] @NorthWestWind@wetdry.world
Honestly with the times zones and everything it gets confusing, I get it X)
Well at least I'll get to participate 
@splatoon@Binette @NorthWestWind @Butterfree I'm hoping at the end that it should be a fun and enjoyable tournament if I get enough teams to get involved
Right now, I've been notified of no complete teams via DMs but it's only been a day or so lol
@Binette @splatoon @NorthWestWind @Butterfree I would still be interested as well o/ If you still need members
@Binette @splatoon @NorthWestWind @Butterfree yaaaaay! Do we have a group message chat?
@curious_robot@aus.social @splatoon@wetdry.world @NorthWestWind@wetdry.world @Butterfree@lethallava.land [lethallava.land]
We're probably going to use discord, but we don't have one yet 
@splatoon@Binette @curious_robot @NorthWestWind @Butterfree so if I'm right, that makes a full team!
When you're ready, can you all decide on a group name so I can write it down.
@Binette @splatoon @NorthWestWind @Butterfree sounds good, let me know and I can send my discord id 
@splatoon@wetdry.world @splatoon@lemmy.world [lemmy.world]
I just noticed, but September 15th is a Friday, not a Saturday.
Is it going to be Friday the 15th or Saturday the 16th?
Very cool, thanks for hosting!
Pinned to /c/splatoon for some more visibility too, hopefully!
Have fun and wish everyone the best of luck! :D
