Tournament Directory

Like a telephone directory, but for tournaments.

[tournamentdirectory]

Sorry, I’m on Hiatus.

The Tournament Directory seeks to be a comprehensive list of every single tournament here- with an entry for each.

Please don't take any order of entry as a sign of anything; tournaments are added as I think of them and have energy to do them +a few secret factors.

If you know a tournament you want submitted, mention me on the introduction post, send me an ask, message me, or just generally call my attention to them.

The tagging system is still a work in progress, and if you have any advice, let me know!

Very slowly, this blog is branching out to also collecting #tips for tournaments and other tournament-related things. If you have a tournament question or are #looking for tournaments of a specific type, this is trying to be the place.

Common used tags:

[THIS LIST SUBJECT TO CHANGE]

#tournament entry is for just the tournament entries. #tournament directory is about this blog. #looking for tournaments is for people who are seeking tournaments.

#ask. #submission.

#let me know if you have a preferred description! and #runner approved description pertain to the description, and whether or not the runner approved it.

#stage: submissions -> stage: running -> stage: ended. #stage: hiatus indicates tournaments taking a break, while #stage: defunct indicates those 'permanently' inactive (though they may still well come back)!

#gimme a sec before reblogging this! is an indicator that, well, you should give me a sec before reblogging this. Typically used while doing post linking things or otherwise needing a post published before it's done.

A variety of specific tags relating to tournament content are used.

I absolutely endorse this; if anyone wants any help / advice / etc. feel free to come to me!

[tournamentdirectory]

Hey! I'm pretty sure there's a tournament's of hot 80s musicians somewhere and I submitted people for the tournament about a month ago. I can't find the blog anymore, even though I tried hard to look for it. Do you by chance know which blog it was? I hope I didn't miss all the fun. I was so sure I followed the blog

Followers?

EDIT: An anon said it might be @the-hottest-band-tournament.

[tournament-announcer]

Has there been anything like a "hottest actors 2000s-now" tournament?

I honestly have no idea, you can check @tournamentdirectory maybe? Or maybe someone who sees this knows

[tournamentdirectory]

followers?

We absolutely love the poll result grabber you posted. We use it to keep track of who is winning without having to cast a vote and potentially mess up a couple of the closer polls we have had. And it also makes it easier to calculate how many votes separate the options so we don't have to do the calculations

If you made it: Thanks!

If you didn't but know who did: could you thank them for us?

And if you don't know, then maybe they'll see this when you have a moment to come back and get the message...

@rolluptheclouds did you make https://glittering.world/poll-grabber? You've been thanked!

[tournament-announcer]

Do you know of any tournaments about teenagers unreasonably hated by the fandom? I found out about yall-hate-kids-tourney and immediately thought of Wesley Crusher but he's too old for that one ofc

I don’t know anon, maybe someone else does? Or check @tournamentdirectory!

[tournamentdirectory]

No worries about the hiatus, take care of yourself. Thanks for all you do!

thank you!!!! :)

[tournamentdirectory]

hey, I'm on indefinite hiatus for a bit. I've been on it for a while, really, I just didn't announce it.

I'm feeling pretty tired just doing my daily activities, and tournamentdirectory isn't in the same sort of hyperfocused-effortlessness that it was when I started. I just don't have the energy to spare.

I can still publish #tournament ideas, and will, or respond to some asks. the actual entries will likely not be posted for quite some time.

sorry. thanks for understanding.

[tournamentdirectory]

another tournament idea. you may have heard of "blue hair and pronouns" or "white hair and trauma" (anime boy trope I think) but consider. "blue eyes and trauma" bracket. you know the type. the really vivid aqua blue eyes with no shines that's a little dead inside.

please someone make this i don't have the time. or alternately if this already exists please link me in the notes so i can be abnormal about the characters. thank you

@ me if you make it!

[tournamentdirectory]

Tournament ideas I have

Mamas boy bracket: aka a bracket for people who would do the most insane stuff for their parents, it is just to see who loves their parent the most (think Percy Jackson, Eleanor Lamb from bioshock)

Awful haircut showdown: for all fictional characters who’s hair is just AWFUL

Cheese battle: it is just to see which cheese is the best cheese

I can probably think of some more but my creative juices are non existent ATM

@ me if you make it!

[tournamentdirectory]

some tournament ideas that i have been clinging to but don't think I'll ever have the time to run:

"echo" tourney, for characters that only/mostly speak using snippets of things they've heard/seen before (ex. Lapis from Steven Universe, Bumblebee from Transformers (in some iterations at least), relevant to me as an autistic person who regularly loses speech

conceited loserguy tourney, for characters that act like they think they are hot shit but are secretly really pathetic and/or sad (NOT derogatory. this is said with love), need a hug, and/or have deep-set self loathing (ex. shintaro kisaragi from the kagerou project, leon fou bartfort from the anime "trapped in a dating sim: the world of otome games is hard for mobs", natsuki subaru from re:zero)

the unpredictable tourney, in which submitters submit pairs of characters that they want to see matched up with one another, along with the topic they want their matchup to be for (ex. a submission could be "hoshino ai (oshi no ko) versus pinkie pie (my little pony) for the title of Most Depressed"); a preliminary round would be run with as many of these matchups as desired, and then the victors would go against a randomized opponent for a randomized matchup topic (so you could get something like "pinkie pie versus entrapta: who is the most morally reprehensible?"); rinse and repeat as many times as interested or until only one victor remains! the way I'm picturing this one, the first preliminary round could have duplicate characters which would then be removed for the second and future rounds

@ me if you make them!

[tournamentdirectory]

I was thinking of starting a tournament but don't want to copy somebody else's on accident. Is there a tournament for characters with numbered names, like C3P0?

Followers?

But don't be afraid to duplicate! the more the merrier :D

[tournamentdirectory]

Is there a tournament for canonically confirmed lgbtq+ characters?

Followers?

[tournamentdirectory]

do you (or any of ur followers) know if there is/was a siblings tournament of any kind? Like best sibling pair, tragic siblings, rlly anything?

yeah there are some. followers feel free to share more the @titular-twins-tournament (entry here)

@tragicsibsshowdown (entry here)

@twinshowdown (entry here)

@oc-siblings-bracket (entry here)

[tournamentdirectory]

I was thinking of starting a tournament but realized two other folks had already started it (ie got submissions) but hadn't run the polls yet (it's been some months since both updated). Do you think it would be okay for me to still start up the tournament (I don't want to steal their idea)?

Yeah, I think so! My view, at least, is the more tournaments the better. just @ me when you make them!

if anyone disagrees/agrees, feel free to state your reasoning in reblogs or replies :)

Give me a v! an o! a t! and an e! What does that spell? VOTE for the best cheerleader in fiction in @cheerleader-contention!!!
