I was doing some brainstorming about a completely new type of tournament structure that could bring into play the multiplayer aspects of skins challenges. I've dreamed up a quite unique structure here that should be very fun to participate in. The outline here, in abstract, is a large pool of players, that play up into smaller pools, until 2 players get up to the highest pool and the winner is determined.
hopefully I lay this out in an understandable way. here goes. It all starts with the first pool. Keep in mind this is all experimental right now - might not work out at all exactly how I imagine - I am open to suggestions for changes/improvements.
The Amoeba
Pool One
All pool one matches must be played with 4 players. Any player that wins 3 or more skins moves onto Pool 2. The rest stay in pool one and may continue to arrange pool 1 matches against other pool 1 opponents if they want. If 3 players tie with 3 skins each, they all move up, the fourth stays in pool one. If 2 players each get 2 skins, and the rest are carried over and are still tied at the end - no players advance to pool 2. (3 skins won means you at least broke even - these numbers are not completely arbitrary - only slightly lol)
I realize.logistically arranging 4 player games is a nightmare - but you can play anyone in your pool, there are no parings. For now, until this thing reaches a critical mass (hopefully) I will stipulate that the 4th player in pool 1 can be random - they don't even have to be in the pool - only 3 do - and the fourth can be invited to join and sign in after the match is over - this should help the Amoeba get some legs.
Pool 2
Pool 2 matches will be played with 3 players. Players who win at least 4 skins move on to the championship pool. players who win 1-3 skins stay in Pool 2, players who win 0 skins get bumped back down to Pool 1. If it is all a push, everyone stays in Pool 2. If any skins are taken - those with zero skins get bumped back into Pool 1. (hope that is clear)
Championship Pool
As soon as 2 players get into this pool, all play in other pools stops! These two players have to arrange a one on one skins match for whatever bet. Who ever gets the most skins is the champ!

As this is Skins for no credits, we have to do this in practice mode. see the post below for info.
reporting
report results in this thread. 2 ways a) a screenshot of the skins scorecard. b) A simple report of results that is verified in thread by at least 1 other player in the group.
I'm not sure if skins results can be verified by looking at players history, but I may do that if something looks wrong or I suspect some sort of collusion.
I will update the pools as often as I can.
ok, questions - fire away. If anyone finds this interesting enough to help organize let me know.
