🏅 Raid Tournaments – Log, Overview, Attacking, Matchmaking, Scoring, Restrictions, Special Rules, and Rewards

Absolutely no idea why / how SGG ended up on 32 week rotation…

I tried asking Staff in a separate part of the forum but never got any response back… Typical tho…

@Guvnor

Question - Why Is there a set Tournament Rule Rotation?

Question is borne from two places:

1. SGG announcement by @mhalttu back in the 2* tournament debarcle (see below)
2. Ongoing rotation clearly evident to the point where I have been making the Tournament Threads 5-8 days in advance & have been right every time…

@mhalttu

The weekly tournaments are not random, they are run on a rotation. Of course, we do reserve the right to change the contents of the rotation at any time. Right now the rotation is 32 weeks.

Skip down a bit to my possible solution…

Why?

Is it mainly an “ease of coding” thing to put the tournaments on a set rotation? It seems like it’s a bit of a missed opportunity… There are many tournament combinations which will just never happen.

There are a total of 54 different Tournament Combinations with the existing 6 elemental Restrictions, 3 rules & 3 star levels… But the tournaments are on a 32 week rotation.

Current Distribution

So after 56 tournaments (to date) we are:

• roughly even on the distribution of tournament rules
• Skewed distribution towards 5* Battles (which is fine I guess)
• MASSIVELY skewed in the elemental restriction.

Tournaments Never Existed:

Below 20 Tournaments have never (and based on the ongoing rotation) will never exist

Additionally there are 2 more that have occurred which will be excluded from the ongoing rotation (based on there being 34 types existing so far but only 32 in the ongoing cycle. One has already been excluded/skipped:
Tournament #14 → 5*, Buff Booster, Nil
Tournaments below #7 also appear to be being ignored in the ongoing rotation.

So of the 21/22 tournaments that are not being repeated we have the following distribution:

Rule	Count
3*	8
4*	6
5*	7
Bloody Battle	7
Buff Booster	8
Rush Attack	6
No Red	3
No Blue	3
No Green	4
No Yellow	5
No Purple	5
Nil	1

Which looks kinda even (except for in the colour department)… But if you then look at what is missing in each Star Rating you can see its not at all even:

@Guvnor

Possible Solution

This is actually something Zeph & I discussed on the Tournament Log sheet a little while back.

@Guvnor

My RNG solution:

My suggestion would be

Hero Resrriction *
40% chance for 5*
35% chance for 4*
25% chance for 3*

Rule
Even split across all rules (current and future)
Thus 33.33% chance for each rule
(Buff booster, rush attack, bloody battle)

Elemental restrictions
Even chance for all restrictions, including no restriction.
Thus 16.667% chance for each colour restriction (no red, blue, green, purple, yellow, none)

Additional proposal - class restrictions
I’d also like to add in a proposal for class restrictions.
No class restrictions = 30%
7% chance for restriction on any of the 10 classes
