Team Tournament Format

I agree. It would be really awesome to have Tag-Team event. I mean, there are so many great ideas, the WBO should at least give it a try
Doesn't hurt to try a team tournament once or twice & if it goes wrong, which is understandable, we could end it there. Otherwise, all this hard work will go to waste.
If scout25 and I host a tournament, we will have an unofficial tag team tournament afterwards. We can post on how it goes if you want.
Where would you be hosting the tournament? Just wondering.
Niles Illinois.
That would be awesome for other people to join a team although 1 suggestion if it came to teams of 3 would we need a bigger?[/code][/spoiler]
I think if every team can keep track of their wins and losses than an appointed group of people can have a thread for team beypoints or maybe even a a completely different system for teams.
This is the thing about tag team tournaments, if the WBO started that basically for the rest of your WBO career that blader you go into your first tournament with would be your partner. Here are numerous problems with that.

- Beypoints would have to have an entire new section
- Beypoint processing for 2 people would have to be processed as if it were 1 person
- If one blader is significantly stronger than the other one blader could have a rank weaker than they are
- If one blader is significantly weaker than the other one blader could have a rank stronger rank than they are
- If one blader of a tag team leaves the WBO you can't enter tag team tournaments again
- Tag teams would have to be established before the tournament
- If a Tag team is established before hand, and one blader does not show up the other cannot participate
- What if there is an odd number of bladers at the tournament?
- If a blader without an account shows up to the tournament and everyone has a partner, who will be there partner?

These were just a few problems until all of these can be solved, I honestly think the WBO can move toward this goal. I don't want to burst anyone's bubble (I would love to have tag team tournaments) but these are the hard facts.
Edit: never mind

Eh, no, you could change whenever you want, because matches would be processed between players, not between given teams, which is also why we think a Tag Team format is the only one really possible.

No ... Matches would still be between players, it would just be the overall format of the tournament that would be better, but we already process different formats/molds of events.

No, that is what I explained. We would otherwise have to create new accounts for each team, and that would make the user count simply inaccurate. Why would you need to do that when there would be at least two matches per tag team-battle anyway ?

No, for the reasons stated above.

Idem.

No, because you never battle with him or her in a battle ...

Even with your misunderstanding of how the battles would be processed, I do not comprehend how this would be a problem or why tag teams could not be formed at the tournament.

No.

That is the only true issue hah.

It could just be someone else who has no account, or someone who has an account already; why not ?

See, we are ready hah.
I think that, while it would be slightly exclusive (as in excluding) I think that tag teams should be formed when the thread itself is made, and the people who sign up would be the only ones able to participate. This would take care of the odd number problem, along with others, but I'm sure this idea may have as many, if not more, flaws.
Just putting it out there.
dont have tag team battles have team battles like in beyblade metal master

i agree with you wbo should have team battles
Team battles are out of the question I believe. Honestly, we shouldn't follow the anime, it's not always right. Tag teams would be way easier and efficient.
So can we do it. It wil be cool if we could tho.
I don't know if this was discussed, but I would like to suggest that each member of the team use only one bey per match. That way, changing beys between rounds would not happen.

There is no reason for team battles to be out of the question. I'm sure there is a way to make it work. We just need enough participants.
There is no reason? Besides the fact that it would require at least 32 contestants, assuming we would have four person teams, and some areas (such as Chicago) have trouble getting 8 participants. Also, it would require some planning beforehand as to who would battle when, when in tag tournaments it would just be alternation.
I believe that team tournaments could be incorporated as a subcategory in larger tournaments with many many people. This way we would not have the possibility of lack of participants. Addressing the second issue of planning. This is a very dedicated community, if people want a team tournament it is up to them to help plan it.

Good idea.
When will this happen because I have a team.

We implemented a Team Format many years ago. Check our Organizer's Guide for details: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gDJ8...sp=sharing
