Let's start announcing some tournaments!

I am willing to host a tournament, but I would need a scorinator

Same story here. I'd like to host a Masters tournament but need a scorinator

[Bergnovinaia]

Here's a possible scorinator that can be used:

How about we do it this way. Everyone who wants to hold a tournament says so here. Then we vote on the person who will host the first tournament. I could collect the votes with my puppet, Ashishim.

I think that's how we'll do it, for the masters and grand slams anyways... if a nation wants to hold their own small tournament, they can post here and run it. However, other nations must place bids that will be voted on by the ITA commitee. (The reason why I think it should be the ITA commitee is because the committee has the most experienced players who won't just vote for somebody because they are there friend or something).

I agree, but I think even the small tournaments should be regulated, otherwise everyone with a scorinator will try to host a tournament at once.

I'm new to using a scorinator, so any chance you feel like explaining how this one works?

I still don't get it.

[Churchma]

Lonara- only thing I don't get right now, is how are we going to determine the players rank? There's a ton of people so far, so how could everyone be ranked?

[Lonara]

Good question.

[South Norwega]

Hmm. With this scorinator I might host a small tournament.

And to the above, I don't think anyone has any rank at all at the moment. No games have been played.

This... and if you'd like an explanation as to how players are actually ranked, read the OP. I didn't spend a few hours writing it for nothing.

[Tyrrin]

To everyone who is trying to host a tournament, try to hold back your enthusiasm a bit. The first tournament should be hosted by an experienced host, and we can only do one tournament at a time.

I understand how they are ranked; I just worded my question wrong I guess.

If you look at the scorinator's versions 1.2 and 1.5, you insert a sort of "ranking/rp bonus" into the red box on the top of the excel sheet. The higher the number, the better your odds are at winning the match. This is where my question arose.

Say you are the #2 singles player in the world, facing the #48 player in the world. What numbers are going to be put into the red boxes on the top of the excel sheet? If I can understand how the ITA suggests I handle this, then I know I'll be able host a tournament.

When you host a tournament, you will have players posting role-plays (RPs). The RP box is just your marking of the RP, so the better the RP (in your opinion), the higher the number put into the box, and the better the chance of winning.

And I've got said scorinator to work.

[Churchma]

And I've got said scorinator to work.

I've figured out the scorinator as well, and I've messed around with it since yesterday. I'll put my bid for a tournament on here once I get back from my vacation (I'll be back the first week in June). I'd put it up sooner, but I'm going to be busy until I leave.
