As the summer grows near, I hope the developers have a new tournament planned which would be number XI.  "My opinion" is that the game needs a tournament soon, as many players have a large gold burn and many troops stored up.  Tournaments are the only event where alliances can actually win something formal - medals and prizes.

I'm asking if the devs could do this tournament in June, July, or August in 2019 or at least let us know when the next one will begin.

Suggestions to improve the tournament (and I hope others will make suggestions as well):

1.  Shorten the length of the tournament from a month down to 3 weeks.

2.  Provide an incentive for all alliances to participate with prizes such as gold or prestige per person that plays in the tournament for the top 3 alliances and region winners.  

Specifically, I would like to see:

a.  1st place participants get 300 million each in gold to replace lost troops or to buy prestige.

b.  2nd place participants get 150 million each in gold to replace lost troops or to buy prestige.

c.  3rd place participants get 75 million each in gold to replace lost troops or to buy prestige.

d.  Winners of regions not in the top 3 places to get 20 million each in gold for each region they won for those that participated.

3.  I realize many alliances have not participated in past tournaments, but would like to see all the top 30 alliances play in this next one with possible side bets of gold or prestige.  Anything to create some fun and bragging rights for a few months would be worth it imo.  

Respectfully yours,
