Idea of a Christmas 19 Tournament, Opinions about 19 Seasons?

Ishape

Let me start off by saying this is just an idea I came across which could be an alternative to the 19 seasons or perhaps fit right into it or if nobody wants it, not exist at all, nevertheless I thought Id share the idea. Ive heard a multitude of people who strongly oppose 19 seasons. A few of the concerns I find following the seasons is will a team be able to stay in tact and active for a year? Is it fair to require them to consistently premade? Is this something the bracket needs or wants? There is obviously some pro's about the seasons in the sense that it will keep 19s active and hopefully competitive and if it does happen I will support it and im sure there is plenty who will.

The idea of a 19 tournament sometime around Christmas (Probably before) could be a less hyped and smaller version of the Twink Cup something id imagine to be between 6-8 teams. The seeding for the Christmas Tournament could be decided based on how teams have done throughout the season(s) that have taken place between the Twink Cup and the Christmas tournament. If the season idea falls through, seeding could be determined through an arena tournament as the Twink Cup is. This idea can serve as something that can tie the seasons into 19s or it can replace it. Something to consider if this were to happen would be that the winner of the Christmas tournament could secure the number one seed for the Twink Cup. Obviously not mandatory its just an idea... In addition Im sure that along with pride, there would be some sort of prize pool involved in the Christmas tournament hopefully a bit smaller then the Twink Cup prize pool so that it doesn't take away the hype surrounding the 19 Twink Cup.

There is obviously still the idea of nothing in between the Twink Cup although with the increasing amount of activity it seems that something in between would be suitable. Feel free to comment below on how you feel about seasons, a tournament around Christmas time, or how you feel that nothing should be done between the Cup.
 
If it is indeed the 30-39 bracket, I'd like to see everyone fight in only red/green holiday outfits, and all shall use the the Reindeer mount (food buff)

But 19s will, without a doubt, have something organized
 
Seasons do not allow breaks in between cups, especially if you're going to seed people based off the way they finish a season. I know most of the my guild will be taking a break from playing after this year's cup.

Right... The seasons not happening which they may not because there is alot of problems with them shouldnt effect the idea of a christmas tournament.
 
numbers wise the seasons aren't really that troubling

39s will never be a fraction of what 19s is and it will die out and struggle for pops even if it gets a large tournament going. No offense, 19s is the only bracket that's going to make the long haul (besides maybe 20s). If efforts for a 39s were applied appropriately to 19s questions of the NWL and xmas tournament wouldn't be necessary, the bracket would be year round guaranteed, that's why I am troubled when I see talk of 39s, currently any success that it has will take away from 19s.

Can't focus on 1 bracket only! Constantly playing 19s gets boring specially when it's run by Horde 24/7. :/

A lot of 19s are encouraging 39 revival aND will switch once TC is over. Yes you might lose queue times for 19s, but we'll be reviving an unfortunately dead bracket that is so much fun with the diversity the available gear provides! :)

Haven't we been fighting for active twink brackets?
Didn't we have several threads complaining about only having 2 active twink brackets to play in just a few weeks ago?

If you don't want to play 39s and want to stay in with 19s, that's entirely understandable. Last year, it was impossible to get me off my 10 twink no matter what. But please, don't discourage others from supporting this movement, man!
 
I encourage that all brackets thrive- but to take activity from 19s and move it directy to 39s is suicide for both brackets. If you've been here a while, you know that no bracket will ever have the activity that they once had- and 19s is our best bet for sustainable games. Why risk that on something "new". Again, a 39s tournament sounds great- but posting about it in this thread, not on the 30-39 bracket forums, is toxic to the possability of this event and the future of this bracket.

I would not have an issue with a 39s revival if it wasn't for the fact that it will take directly from 19s, but your spot on, 39s is suicide for 19s and 39s, I'm not looking to start over from scratch come next twinkcup when people want pops again. A 39s revival would kill any momentum 19s currently has.

Of all the times you could run a tournament the holiday season would have to be the worst.

Good luck getting 20+ people on at the same time around christmas time.

im a little confused here. #1- Christmas is the largest holiday other than summer break that people are apready taking time off from school/work (a reason summer has worked so well for the community in the past)

I dont know how accurate this statement will be, but i feel like the winter months people spend more time inside due to weather. Possibly, some twinks that would be taking vacations or what not over the summer would be inside with nothing to do during the christmas holliday.

39s will never be a fraction of what 19s are if the MODs have an attitude like that. 39 revival is gonna happen with or without your help or input. Forcing people to play 19s by not associating with other brackets or speaking negative about their efforts is quite frankly boldfaced, selfish and disregards everyone who wants this event to happen. At first I thought your biased was at least a positive reinforcement of 19s...now I see it also includes negative efforts towards 39s. As a MOD that kinda talk is shameful and very very selfish, and if that representation of TI continues to go in that direction, you won't just lose people in general but you will lose people all together from visiting the site except 19 fanatics.
The actions that are happening here are worse than the inactivity when @Shane was around, change needs to happen or else change will be forced...

It only get frigid in Winter in certain parts of the World. Where I live on it has only snowed three times in 50 years.
Another bracket's revival should be discussed in that section of the forum.
 
This is a 19 thread in the 19s bracket section. We should not be derailing and trying to take it over to promote 39s. This is exactly what we don't need ><

I think his point is that around Christmas time a lot of people are generally not spending their entire holiday playing world of warcraft
