2 Tournaments per Month?

[obi_xyz]

Hello.

I talked around with lot of people who play FP fairly frequently and one of main topics was that there is not enough tournaments and that wait is too long and max level guys mostly come back for tournaments and some competition here and there. I know there are people who play normal competitions a LOT but it is not many people. Stats can be seen in Comps page when you see how many people registered while every tournament gets 500, even 600+ registrations.

But at the same time, me and everyone I talked about really wanted more tournaments because they are VERY FUN. With increased player numbers in recent times, it would surely help to retain players and to give more entertainment. Custom Competitions are great but they simply cannot measure to tournament structure.

Why not make 2 per month? But they should be a bit different. Like we had: Crappies, Smallmouth, etc... Bring them back into rotation. Or new ones, it doesn't matter. Let us have fun catching smaller fish again and not just giants (most of the time). Crappies was one of my favorite tournaments because it was a massive change of pace and it was extremely fun. Who would have thought that catching such small fish is such fun in tourey environment. Same with Smallies and Bass Open.

There is so many lakes and sooo much fish to make tournaments around. These "secondary" tournaments could even have less rewards (baitcoins). People will play them no matter what are the rewards and you guys can make new Packs for these tournaments.

For start, not even every month should have 2. Start adding them as you see fit and by next year we could have a impressive tournament calendar.

Dunno, just a suggestion.

Besides having multiple tournaments, I think it would be nice to have more diversity in types of tournaments.  Most essentially are just catching the biggest fish which gets dull as most folks just repeatedly go to certain hot spots and do the same thing over and over again.

Some ideas include Speedruns (how fast can you catch certain # or types a fish), Fish Carousel (having to catch different types of fishes within a certain period of time), Spin style (catch a fish having to use different methods twitching, spot-go, etc.), various methods), or Multi-Day and/or under difference weather conditions.
