{{Proposal}}
With the COVID-19 pandemic in the last few months, online tournaments have seen a rise. Many top players have started to enter these tournaments, and several tournaments and series have been created for this occasion. There have been many tournaments full of both top players and Wi-Fi Warriors such as the tournaments in {{Trn|The Quarantine Series|series}}, and a majority of them have been documented on SmashWiki.

#'''Support'''. I feel that everyone before me has already said most of what needs to be said. If you ask me, even if COVID-19's implications on competitive Smash come to a close sooner than later, it's still given enough of a foundation for online play to continue growing and growing in prominence. We absolutely need to have a discussion about the notability/reporting of tournaments in general before we specify them for online tournaments... However, as ignorant of online tournaments as I am, I think it would be nice to eventually report the most "notable" ones here on Smashwiki.

So I think this is pretty much set in stone, right? I think we should move forward with reporting online tournaments. [[User:Pokebub|Pokebub]] ([[User talk:Pokebub|talk]]) 19:50, May 17, 2020 (EDT)
:Exactly, we already covered The Quarantine Series.

We should decide what kinds of tournaments should be allowed on the news section, eg what should it be based off of.

:{|class="wikitable"
!Game!!Acceptable tournaments
|-
| 64||Case by case basis, but should be based on amount of notable players. Certain regional events in South America, US, or Japan would definitely be considered nationals.
|-
| Melee||Any tournaments that feature a large amount of MPGR-ranked players from various regions. Regionals should not be counted here unless the regional in question is super stacked.
|-
| Brawl||Pretty much just Return to Subspace lol
|-
| PM||Same case as 64, minus the regional problems.
|-
| SSB4||Same case as Brawl, should there ever be any notable throwback tournament then we list it.
|-
| Ultimate||Same case as Melee, except PGRU.
|-
| Online events||In the case of online, it should follow roughly the same rules as whatever game is being hosted on it. For Ultimate specifically, I'd argue that we should only list tournaments with either a high attendance (by this point maybe like <s>300+?</s> 600) or a large showing of PGRU or WWR players.
|-
|Other events||Invitationals should only be listed if it includes players on a national level. Arcadians should also be listed if it reaches a notable amount of attendance. Pre/Post-major local tournaments should be included if notable enough.

[[User:Pokebub|Pokebub]] ([[User talk:Pokebub|talk]]) 21:13, May 17, 2020 (EDT) I think this is a pretty good outline for starters. Definitely should not be included in this form on any policy pages though. [[User:Pokebub|Pokebub]] ([[User talk:Pokebub|talk]]) 21:13, May 17, 2020 (EDT)
Oh wow, I think thats a good selection for a passing result. [[User:S3AHAWK|<span style="font-family: Arial;color:Blue;">S3AHAWK</span>]][[File:S3AHAWK_Signature_icon_1.png|20px]][[File:S3AHAWK_signature_icon_2.png|20px]] ([[User talk:S3AHAWK|''<span style="color: Red;">talk</span>'']]) 21:19, May 17, 2020 (EDT)
300 isn't good enough in my opinion, since tournaments without much notable players consistently reach that mark. I would say 600 minimum, with exceptions to the ones that you listed.

:Well sounds like a good call to me. I'm definitely inexperienced when it comes to denoting notability of online Ultimate events. [[User:Pokebub|Pokebub]] ([[User talk:Pokebub|talk]]) 12:34, May 21, 2020 (EDT)
