So I was looking at all these various leagues in the NW community (cool stuff
) and I was thinking that there should be some form of invitational tournament or cup type things. Looking at European Football (Soccer) they have several things like that, such as the Champions League and random competition that occur kind of parallel to the various leagues, with invitations being given out due to teams performance in certain competitions. So I was thinking having some kind of proposing something of the sort and seeing what you guys thought:
1. My first idea I thought was to have a single-match invitational thing similar to the FA Community Shield where the winner of the NWL would take on the winner of the TNWL in maybe a best-of-3 series of first to 10 games over the course of a week or so.
2. My second idea was a FA Cup style knockout tournament, where any number of regiments can sign up with maybe the bigger boys of the community not getting in on the action til the later rounds to allow the smaller regiments to get some tournament experience and advance abit. Of course, drawbacks would be organizing that thing and setting up how it all works, which I am not gonna bother myself with x.x
3. My third idea was another knockout tournament, but being alot simpler than my previous idea. I was thinking more of just a straight up invitational tournament with invitations being given to regiments based on their performance in their respective leagues (kinda like the champions league). Ex: Invitations go out to the 1-3 Place of the TNWL, 1-3 place of League 1 of the NWL (if a regiment in 1-3 place of NWL already qualified, qualification would trickle down the list until it got to someone without an invitation), 1-2 place of Semi-Pro TNWL, 1-2 place of League 2 of NWL.
I know theres alot of leagues going on right now, but the way I am designing this is so itd happen "post-season", so after they all finish. Also I think a tournament like this should be kind of important is competitive NW is to survive as there needs to be something really centralizing the competitive scene without merging/removing leagues (The more competitions, the better you ask me). Tell me what y'all think!
