Have a Rookie Tourney

I was posting around the Forums, and noticed a topic called "Rookie Tourney". Now, there's no information or anything in it, just a blank space for threads. The idea is somewhat intriguing though, so maybe we can look into having one?

Agreed... But what is it? ._.

I agree. Maybe a dorm upgrade, and limit it to Slifer's, since they're the rookies of the academy?

While in theory its a cool and interesting idea, there is no way to guarantee that someone is a rookie. Someone could be using an alt on DN that has very poor stats to enter and win the tournament. Also, just defining who a rookie would be by their DN account would be nearly impossible because it only tracks your ranked games. Someone could have below average ranked stats but have played thousands of unranked games

Why don't we keep track of "rookies" using the league system? See who's had wins and losses here, showing our skill against other academy members. May be a more accurate way to determine such.

I agree with XraishionX. This will help mods and admins see suspicious activity for alt accounts. If someone created an account immediately after the tourney is announced and began losing a lot of games one after another.

HOWEVER, at the end of the day the DP will be split amongst you(the rookie) and your sponsor. And if the sponsor's IP matches their rookie we can know easily.

And those who haven't played for the league?

0-0 and slifer = rookie =]

I like all these ideas. We need a Mod to take a look.

Agreed with Jikan.
@ EHeroDuelist: We could always just say those who haven't participated much in the league or isn't very active may not participate in the Rookie Tourneys. Though a very bad idea.

The greatest benefit about this tourney is the fact that each rookie will have an experienced duelist to teach them great strategies and deck creating tips. This is going to be awesome to watch. Rookies being trained by the top duelist pitted against each other.

It sounds lame but it's gonna be awesome if executed correctly.

Please, I rarely play in BA; if I'm playing in a Tourney and my opponents are rookies... you see where I'm going with this?
