Why is almost every big event in Europe getting lowered in value on this site? {{Trn|Temple: Hermes Edition}}, {{Trn|e-Caribana}}, {{Trn|95 Kings of Fields 2}} and {{Trn|COLOSSEL 2022}} are notably either dropping from supermajor to major, or from major to superregional, and Europe is doing well in the post-online landscape.--[[User:Hydreigonfan01|Hydreigonfan01]] ([[User talk:Hydreigonfan01|talk]]) 18:38, February 13, 2024 (EST)
:Well for one, 95 Kings of Fields 2 was never considered a major on the wiki to begin with. Second, it's not just Europe. The wiki is currently in the process of retiering old events for ''Ultimate'' (and ''Brawl'' too). Basically, Stuart, the guy behind the LumiRank algorithm, has been assisting us with retiering past events using the current LumiRank algorithm over the past PGR/OrionRank algorithms, both of which have some glaring flaws to it. For example, in judging 2019 tournaments we used the top 150 that the LumiRank algorithm generated instead of PGR's top 50 or OrionRank's top 100. All of this is documented on our Discord, but the changes were only done if a supermajority agreed to it.
:Due to this, a lot of tournaments that should have been majors but were not recognized as such were promoted (eg Suplex City Smash and a few 2019 Sumabatos), however on the other hand there were also several events that had overinflated scores due to entrants count and its multipliers or the ranking's overreliance on depth rather than top 100 talent, and it just so happened that a lot of European events got caught up in the fire since a lot ended up falling for the latter. 
:An example of this is VCA 2022. It had a lot of European talent, including all of Europe's top 10 at the time, which was why OrionRank recognized it as a major. However when it [https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1201019014307119177/1201703523448782890/image.png came to players in the LumiRank algorithm's top 150] it falls short compared to other major events. Specifically, VCA 2022 had 1 top 10 (Glutonny), 4 top 50 (Bloom, Sisqui, Fatality, Abadango), and 5 top 100 (Mr.R, Raflow, quiK, Space, Leon). With that in mind, how different is VCA 2022 than an event like {{Trn|Sumabato SP 24}}, which has more top players especially in the top 50 (1 top 5 - acola; 2 top 25 - Yoshidora and Asimo; 5 top 50 - Abadango, HIKARU, Kome, Shirayuki, and Rizeasu; and 4 top 100) but is not considered a major. Entrants count yes, but I think most global rankings have established that entrants count isn't necessarily always a factor as to whether a tournament is a major or not (or else Riptide 2022 and 2023 would be considered one). When VCA 2022 was put up to a vote, 7 users agreed to demote while only 3 voted no, which was a supermajority, and thus VCA 2022 was demoted.

==Major reclassification results==
While the wiki had previously used the PGRU and OrionRank as a baseline for tournaments to be considered "majors" and "supermajors", there have been many cases where events on either one of the rankings were classified as "majors" but their status was heavily disputed, while on the other hand there have been tournaments that clearly met the standards to be a major but were not classified as such by the rankings due to the rankings' flaws. While the wiki had attempted to address some of these problems in the past, most notably with raising the OrionRank major threshold from 2,400 to 3,000; major consistency remained an issue for past events.
As such, starting in January 28th, 2024, efforts were made to reclassify majors on the wiki with the help of Stuart98, the one behind the LumiRank algorithm. Tournaments up for consideration were taken from Stuart's OmegaRank algorithm, and each tournament was voted on to decide whether to promote, demote, or maintain its current status, with a supermajority (2/3 voters in support) and at least 5 votes for a change to occur. References were provided, however due to the severe issues with PGRU and OrionRank outlined [https://nutradewar.medium.com/wednesday-morning-mythra-8-9-perpetually-underranked-japan-or-how-we-got-here-ft-stuart98-2fd58ffc3c16 here], the top 150 for 2019 and 2022 used LumiRank's output rather than the rankings present at that time (which were given the nicknames "LumiRank 2019" and "LumiRank 2022", respectively), while the 2021 rankings used OmegaRank's output for the OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse timeframe. Although the results are still present on Discord, they are also being posted on the wiki for future reference, as well as an explanation as to why some tournaments previously considered majors, or considered majors by other sources, are no longer considered majors/not considered majors on the wiki.

==Regen 2024==
As discussed in Discord, Regen 2024 sits as a pretty-comfortable A-tier on the [[LumiRank 2024.2]] tournament tier system, which normally means the event is a major. However, many players have since questioned whether this assessment is accurate, especially because the event has a lack of top 50 players. Using the LumiRank 2024.1 ranking, the only top 50 players in attendance are {{Sm|Glutonny}} (#22), {{Sm|MkLeo}} (#25), and {{Sm|crêpe salée}} (#32); none of these players are also ranked top 20, and even though Glutonny and MkLeo have previously won majors, they were not ranked highly in the last season, and this ranking ultimately takes more importance than whether they had won majors or were top 10 players in prior seasons. There has never been a major on the wiki that had this little top 50 players in attendance, not to mention how there is not a single top 20 player in attendance.
With this in mind, a vote was performed on the SmashWiki Discord on whether to categorize Regen 2024 as a major. The results were the following:
{|class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align:center"

Are there going to be votes on the Discord for whether or not Sumabato SP 53 will count as a major per these wiki's rules? The tournament only had 3 top 20 players in Raru, Snow and Doramigi, and we have axed out tournaments that had very few top 20 players like DELTA 8.5 (which only had 1 top 20 player in Shuton), as well as weird invitational events like the first Luminosity Invitational. Like Raki won a "major" but it didn't feel like he won an actual major given that the only top 20 player he played against was Doramigi.--[[User:Hydreigonfan01|Hydreigonfan01]] ([[User talk:Hydreigonfan01|talk]]) 14:31, November 30, 2024 (EST)
: I'm definitely open to having a vote on it, but I'm a bit skeptical it won't be approved as a major. Looking at our previous votes 95 King of Fields 3, UltCore, Let's Make Big Moves 2022, and Seibugeki 8 all survived with a similar number of top players. But we can see.

:Regardless of how the vote turns out, it doesn't really matter whether or not Raki only beat one Top 20 player. Dabuz won Civil War in Smash 4 with CaptainZack as his only Top 10 win, and that event was unambiguously a supermajor. The players in attendance are what matters.

European tournaments and majors[edit]

Why is almost every big event in Europe getting lowered in value on this site? Temple: Hermes Edition, e-Caribana, 95 Kings of Fields 2 and COLOSSEL 2022 are notably either dropping from supermajor to major, or from major to superregional, and Europe is doing well in the post-online landscape.--Hydreigonfan01 (talk) 18:38, February 13, 2024 (EST)

Well for one, 95 Kings of Fields 2 was never considered a major on the wiki to begin with. Second, it's not just Europe. The wiki is currently in the process of retiering old events for Ultimate (and Brawl too). Basically, Stuart, the guy behind the LumiRank algorithm, has been assisting us with retiering past events using the current LumiRank algorithm over the past PGR/OrionRank algorithms, both of which have some glaring flaws to it. For example, in judging 2019 tournaments we used the top 150 that the LumiRank algorithm generated instead of PGR's top 50 or OrionRank's top 100. All of this is documented on our Discord, but the changes were only done if a supermajority agreed to it.
Due to this, a lot of tournaments that should have been majors but were not recognized as such were promoted (eg Suplex City Smash and a few 2019 Sumabatos), however on the other hand there were also several events that had overinflated scores due to entrants count and its multipliers or the ranking's overreliance on depth rather than top 100 talent, and it just so happened that a lot of European events got caught up in the fire since a lot ended up falling for the latter.
An example of this is VCA 2022. It had a lot of European talent, including all of Europe's top 10 at the time, which was why OrionRank recognized it as a major. However when it came to players in the LumiRank algorithm's top 150 it falls short compared to other major events. Specifically, VCA 2022 had 1 top 10 (Glutonny), 4 top 50 (Bloom, Sisqui, Fatality, Abadango), and 5 top 100 (Mr.R, Raflow, quiK, Space, Leon). With that in mind, how different is VCA 2022 than an event like Sumabato SP 24, which has more top players especially in the top 50 (1 top 5 - acola; 2 top 25 - Yoshidora and Asimo; 5 top 50 - Abadango, HIKARU, Kome, Shirayuki, and Rizeasu; and 4 top 100) but is not considered a major. Entrants count yes, but I think most global rankings have established that entrants count isn't necessarily always a factor as to whether a tournament is a major or not (or else Riptide 2022 and 2023 would be considered one). When VCA 2022 was put up to a vote, 7 users agreed to demote while only 3 voted no, which was a supermajority, and thus VCA 2022 was demoted.

Major reclassification results[edit]

While the wiki had previously used the PGRU and OrionRank as a baseline for tournaments to be considered "majors" and "supermajors", there have been many cases where events on either one of the rankings were classified as "majors" but their status was heavily disputed, while on the other hand there have been tournaments that clearly met the standards to be a major but were not classified as such by the rankings due to the rankings' flaws. While the wiki had attempted to address some of these problems in the past, most notably with raising the OrionRank major threshold from 2,400 to 3,000; major consistency remained an issue for past events.

As such, starting in January 28th, 2024, efforts were made to reclassify majors on the wiki with the help of Stuart98, the one behind the LumiRank algorithm. Tournaments up for consideration were taken from Stuart's OmegaRank algorithm, and each tournament was voted on to decide whether to promote, demote, or maintain its current status, with a supermajority (2/3 voters in support) and at least 5 votes for a change to occur. References were provided, however due to the severe issues with PGRU and OrionRank outlined here, the top 150 for 2019 and 2022 used LumiRank's output rather than the rankings present at that time (which were given the nicknames "LumiRank 2019" and "LumiRank 2022", respectively), while the 2021 rankings used OmegaRank's output for the OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse timeframe. Although the results are still present on Discord, they are also being posted on the wiki for future reference, as well as an explanation as to why some tournaments previously considered majors, or considered majors by other sources, are no longer considered majors/not considered majors on the wiki.

Regen 2024[edit]

As discussed in Discord, Regen 2024 sits as a pretty-comfortable A-tier on the LumiRank 2024.2 tournament tier system, which normally means the event is a major. However, many players have since questioned whether this assessment is accurate, especially because the event has a lack of top 50 players. Using the LumiRank 2024.1 ranking, the only top 50 players in attendance are Glutonny (#22), MkLeo (#25), and crêpe salée (#32); none of these players are also ranked top 20, and even though Glutonny and MkLeo have previously won majors, they were not ranked highly in the last season, and this ranking ultimately takes more importance than whether they had won majors or were top 10 players in prior seasons. There has never been a major on the wiki that had this little top 50 players in attendance, not to mention how there is not a single top 20 player in attendance.

With this in mind, a vote was performed on the SmashWiki Discord on whether to categorize Regen 2024 as a major. The results were the following:

Tournament Date of vote Entrants Top 5/10/25/50/100/150 attendance Suggested change Yes votes No votes Result
Regen 2024 8/24/2024 571 0/0/2/1/3/5 Categorize as major 1 16 Categorized as superregional

Regen 2024 will be revisited at the end of the LumiRank 2024.2 season in case any major shifts took place between the two seasons. CookiesCnC Signature.pngCreme 23:59, August 24, 2024 (EDT)

Major reclassification results, part 2[edit]

Following Regen 2024, a few other LumiRank events were put up for a vote.

Similar to Regen 2024, DELTA 8.5 will be revisited at the end of the LumiRank 2024.2 season. CookiesCnC Signature.pngCreme 20:11, August 26, 2024 (EDT)

From now on, instead of making a new section for each tournament whenever a discussion happens, the vote should be added onto the table above. With that being said, UFA 2024 will also be revisited at the end of the LumiRank 2024.2 season. CookiesCnC Signature.pngCreme 01:20, September 15, 2024 (EDT)

Are there going to be votes on the Discord for whether or not Sumabato SP 53 will count as a major per these wiki's rules? The tournament only had 3 top 20 players in Raru, Snow and Doramigi, and we have axed out tournaments that had very few top 20 players like DELTA 8.5 (which only had 1 top 20 player in Shuton), as well as weird invitational events like the first Luminosity Invitational. Like Raki won a "major" but it didn't feel like he won an actual major given that the only top 20 player he played against was Doramigi.--Hydreigonfan01 (talk) 14:31, November 30, 2024 (EST)

I'm definitely open to having a vote on it, but I'm a bit skeptical it won't be approved as a major. Looking at our previous votes 95 King of Fields 3, UltCore, Let's Make Big Moves 2022, and Seibugeki 8 all survived with a similar number of top players. But we can see.

We are still in the middle of finishing a few votes but I'll put it on when it's done. CookiesCnC Signature.pngCreme 16:23, November 30, 2024 (EST)
Since you proposed the vote but aren't on the Discord, do you mind mentioning what your vote would be? It'll count as a vote on the Discord. CookiesCnC Signature.pngCreme 14:02, December 1, 2024 (EST)
Regardless of how the vote turns out, it doesn't really matter whether or not Raki only beat one Top 20 player. Dabuz won Civil War in Smash 4 with CaptainZack as his only Top 10 win, and that event was unambiguously a supermajor. The players in attendance are what matters.
