Hey. Since I just mentioned this in the chat and there's little activity at the moment, I want to share it here, too.
Yesterday there was some discussion about not running mini-tournaments while the league is running. I agreed at the time, but then I thought about it later. If we did that, we'd rarely if ever run another mini-tournament. Even if we ran them during the downtime between leagues, that just means people wouldn't have any downtime at all. Honestly, that's not how they were ever meant to be viewed, so I want to correct this mentality before we get rooted too deeply in it.
The league is one part of Charms Organized Play, but it isn't the only part. The mini-tournaments should essentially be viewed as a completely separate section. We've managed to run two mini-tournaments thus far and both were successful, and I'd like to build on that success by making them more regular. Ideally, I'd like to start running them on a bimonthly basis. If you didn't have time to raise Pokemon for 'em you could just not compete, and it'd give more options for those of us who aren't in the league. In some cases it'd also give league members who've already finished the majority of their matches something extra to do, too.
Just some food for thought. All discussion is welcome.
