1) How long the Tournament should be?
3 to 4 weeks

2) How long should the notice be?
2 to 4 weeks

3) will people still be willing to take part if there aren't any prizes?
Definitely, I will send you prizes if you get one going!

4) when should I do the snapshot of the Alliance for handing out awards?
Beginning

5) I will be using the combat API key for my next Tournament because the combat API key has better stats, and I already have code for it but will this turn anyone way from taking part in the Tournament?
Won't make a difference to me...

1) How long the Tournament should be? 3-4 weeks

2) How long should the notice be? gathering API key information, I would say 1 week
(keep in mind I still have to collect the API keys. This time around I will be having the alliance leaders gather the API key and send them to me.)

3) will people still be willing to take part if there aren't any prizes? yes, if people really want prizes they could petition their own alliance to give prizes.

4) when should I do the snapshot of the Alliance for handing out awards? once you start the tournament or at the end works.  Both is to much of a hassle.  But given the week notice, players should have the chance to jump to whatever alliance they plan to tourney in.
(in my last Tournament  I did rewards based on what alliance the person was in at the end of the Tournament so alliance switching wouldn't cause any problem when I went to hand out prizes and sent the devs the player ID list for medals)

5) I will be using the combat API key for my next Tournament because the combat API key has better stats, and I already have code for it but will this turn anyone way from taking part in the Tournament? that will not deter WoT or HotH

1) 3 weeks

2) A few days (less incentive for exodusing for tourney) up to a week

3) yes

4) Isn´t at the beginning AND the end possible, and only everyone in at both times gets rewards?

5) The normal key gives us way more interesting stats!

1. Three weeks is good.
2. Two days / Max of 5 days
3. Yes, I know a lot of alliances who would fight for fun / regional pride. But maybe regional winners' medals with some simple design, instead of overall, would make sense.
4. Last day of the tourney, so you award players based on where they finally end up.
5. Combat API is way more awesome. Please do it. The stats you gave for NF tourney were amazing.

1) How long the Tournament should be? Anything up to a month

2) How long should the notice be? Less the better, a week is plenty. I'd prefer 24hrs
(keep in mind I still have to collect the API keys. This time around I will be having the alliance leaders gather the API key and send them to me.)

3) will people still be willing to take part if there aren't any prizes? Yes

4) when should I do the snapshot of the Alliance for handing out awards? At the start
(in my last Tournament  I did rewards based on what alliance the person was in at the end of the Tournament so alliance switching wouldn't cause any problem when I went to hand out prizes and sent the devs the player ID list for medals)

5) I will be using the combat API key for my next Tournament because the combat API key has better stats, and I already have code for it but will this turn anyone way from taking part in the Tournament? No

    1) How long the Tournament should be?

    In my opinion, 3 weeks seems optimal. Not to short of a time frame to be irrelevant for an adequate challenge, but also not so long as to a major drain on resources and upsetting to any plans that may be in the works.


2) How long should the notice be?

At least 2 weeks.


  1. will people still be willing to take part if there isn't any prizes?

    Like the medals, but yes, I would be happy to compete for the challenge.


4) when should i do the snapshot of the alliance for handing out prizes?

I for one dislike the idea of shifting Allegiances during a tournament if this is supposed to be Alliance (team) based competition, so at the beginning.


5) I will be using the combat API key for my next Tournament because the combat API key has better stats and I already have code for it but will this turn anyone way from taking part in the Tournament? Not in my case.

Most needed to divide the occupation time  by the number of members in the alliance to arrive at a fair score. This will level the playing field for the smaller alliances. And be a far more interesting event.

Not essentially, but large alliances could split themselves up for the tourney duration. 

You could perhaps even limit the number or players in each alliance to maybe teams of 10 or 20. Teams could form for just the tourney then return to their normal alliances. It would be very tactical to pick your teams well.

Surely this would be far far more interesting for everyone.
