Currently, we only have two tournament categories: [[:Category:Regional tournaments]] and [[:Category:National tournaments]]. However, these categories are rather misleading, as they are grouping together tournaments that differ significantly on how stacked they are. For example, {{Trn|Tri-state Showdown: Fall 2019}} is grouped as a national alongside {{Trn|EVO 2019}} despite the former having significantly less top and high-level players in attendance, and it's inaccurate to assume that these two tournaments were similarly stacked. To better represent the size of each tournaments, I'm proposing to split either both categories or just the national category, as the problems are most apparent in the latter.

:Additionally we should split the categories by games, it would be more work but these categories are already very large, and often people will be searching for tournaments of a specific game, making it much harder for them to find what they're looking for. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 15:49, May 11, 2022 (EDT) | :Additionally we should split the categories by games, it would be more work but these categories are already very large, and often people will be searching for tournaments of a specific game, making it much harder for them to find what they're looking for. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 15:49, May 11, 2022 (EDT) | ||

:Think I agree with these too. Regional, Super regional, major, and super major should be the main tournament categories. And the game splitting categories perhaps can be handled by bot, like how the online icon was handled last time.

I have my own spreadsheet of a bunch of tournaments split into regionals, nationals and majors that’d I’d be more than willing to give. It’s notably been used in the all-time Top 100 lists and I have a rigorous system in place for it, and it’s pretty highly respected I think. | I have my own spreadsheet of a bunch of tournaments split into regionals, nationals and majors that’d I’d be more than willing to give.

I also have ones for the other games, but PGR and OrionRank cover Smash 4 and Ult pretty well, and my 64/Brawl/PM ones I don’t feel confident enough in yet to give out to people, but yeah. <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:Pikachu942|Pikachu942]] ([[User talk:Pikachu942|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Pikachu942|contribs]]) 11:38, May 13, 2022 (EDT)</small> | |||
:I can definitely vouch for Pikachu942's knowledge of the competitive Melee scene. I also saw the older version of this spreadsheet, so I'm glad to see a more up-to-date one! [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 13:39, May 13, 2022 (EDT) | |||
