Congrats to Dapple Productions Havoc Cue and the rest of the Squid Junction team on running their 75th tourney. Solid consistent tourney that has been around for over 3 years. Here’s to 75 more. 🍻

Last week, sendou.ink hosted 36 tournaments- the most ever in a single week. While this is a great achievement for Sendou, we need to do much better as TOs collectively in addressing this bloat. We can't continue to fragment the player base as badly as we are now.

There's a lot of colours on this chart, and it might get compressed, but in summary around half of the tournaments each month are actually non affiliated to any org. However, some orgs do make up a significant proportion of the total tournaments hosted every week.

I’ve made a slightly longer write up on the other site but while this isn’t a smoking gun, it’s more evidence that smaller tournaments might be cannibalizing larger ones for players Thanks to Cue for the inspiration and for his marvelous analysis
