Hello. This is just an idea, maybe someone will find it interesting and decide to host it.
Here you can find all details, informations, rules and so on about this Mount&Blade Warband (Native) tournament :
http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,330295.0.html In my opinion, tournaments like that should be the future of NW community. Last NWL season proved that it's hard to keep regiments in league, when they don't have, lost any chances to succeed. Group stage, then single elimination can remedy this situation. I could write more about this situation mostly about K-KA withdrawal but I belive that we all heard about this.
After thousands hours in game, a lot of players are here, in community more for tournaments and rivalisation than fun from line battles. That's why I belive that quick, exciting tournaments for 16 best NW teams (12 invited by a host, 4 from eliminations, maybe) should be hosted for them, maybe during holidays, as after next NWL season will starts.
Ofc, NWL rules are great. This is only idea of quicker, tournaments with group stages and knockouts after, to make it more interesting, exciting, and avoid massive signs off after defeats in title deciders.
