tbh I think that bw needs more classic tournaments. In last few years there were only few major tournaments + ofc mighty defiler tours. Too many D and C ranks tours/leagues, invitational tours, tours where forbidden is to build something or only mirrors etc instead normal ones. I prefer open tours with some cool map pool and interesting format + some prize pool to compete for ^^

I agree with you, and this is something I briefly touched upon a month ago when we had our yearly meeting. When it comes to filling a certain niche though, it gets complicated. Defiler is an awesome weekly tournament that fills a very clear niche. So we don't want to hold a tournament that competes with Defiler in terms of timeslot or format (this would alienate players and viewers alike for no good reason).

Then we have the TLS, another awesome tournament that fills a clear niche. Scheduling is not impossible here, but might be a hassle at times, since we don't want players or viewers being forced to choose one tournament over the other. As if that's not enough, the TL community doesn't have an enormous amount of casters, and the casters we do have also have other obligations and interests besides casting BW (at least I think they do).

I believe Defiler and TLS are the biggest currently running 1v1 tournaments. What SBWI needs to do is figure out how our 1v1 tournament(s) can fit into the current tournament-climate (for lack of a better word).

Before I start drifting too much off-topic, I'll get back to your post:
  • We will definitely hold "normal", 1v1, open tournaments.
  • We want to support the map making community, meaning that we aim to include newly created maps in the map pool of (hopefully) all our tournaments.
  • Format is a more complex question. It is one of the things that differentiates one tournament from another, but it shouldn't be there only to make a tournament stand out from the rest. It needs to be fair to the players, approachable to viewers and players alike and it needs to be easy to grasp in order to avoid misunderstandings and needless confusion.
  • We want to have as generous of a prize pool as we can afford. A high prize pool obviously adds more incentive to participate, and also helps foster a competitive spirit among the participants.


However, there are other things that also needs to be taken into consideration:
  • Catering to a wide audience. 1v1 tournaments like Defiler targets a fairly specific audience. Weird 1v1 tournaments like Gem League targets another (although I'm sure I'm not the only one who enjoys watching both). We also want to host 2v2 tournaments in the future, which is yet another type of audience. We can't limit ourselves to just hosting one of the above -- we're likely gonna mix it up a bit.
  • Casters are a limited resource.
  • Graphic designers (to make banners, cheerfuls, logos, etc) are even more scarce.
  • Other stuff. The above is just what I could come up with on the top of my head.


This isn't reason enough to be pessimistic though. The last couple of weeks have probably been hectic for many, as the last weeks of the spring term tends to be for students. With beginning of summer, as people get more free time, I hope we can start hosting tournaments. If nothing else, that's a personal goal for me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hopefully that shed some light on the reasoning of SBWI. If anyone has any questions or suggestions regarding future tournaments, feel free to post them in this thread. I can't promise to answer all questions, and as far as suggestions go I can only guarantee that those from SBWI-members will be discussed. + Show Spoiler +
The reason for that is simply that all suggestions brought up within the organization will, regardless of topic, always get some sort of response. Whereas this is a forum thread, so it's possible that I, or someone else on the board, forget to respond or don't have access to the internet or something like that.
Obviously, if you have a really good idea we'll implement it regardless of whether or not you're member ^^

Update with our picture from the Barcraft! Although I am sad that the back row and the 2 guys standing in the back couldn't fit the picture, it was nonetheless glorious when we appeared on Sayle's stream.

Poland and Sweden are awesome!

I'm assuming the Australian barcraft didn't happen. So were the swedish and the polish barcraft's the only ones?

Hahaha and please post more pics from the swedish one, jaevlaterran.

Probably a combination of school and me working him to death.
SC is like sex. You should play often, but never too hard. And you should only try hard when it matters.

Yea, it's true. I mentioned it at the end of my last cast, but didn't feel like making a "hey look at me and tell me how awesome I am," retirement thread. Really did bring a smile to my face to see you say that though.
