User Created Illuvium Tournaments

Custom Illuvial Hunts
Players search for specific Illuvials or rare versions like holo or dark holo Illuvials in the Illuvium Overworld within a set time frame. Each round, players submit their captured Illuvials and are ranked based on their findings. Registration must be completed before the tournament starts. Illuvials not captured in time count as unsuccessful attempts.

Rank Advancement Challenges
Players compete to reach a specific rank or range of ranks in the Illuvium Arena within a set period. Those who achieve the target ranks become eligible for prizes. Participants must register and reach the required rank by the tournament's end, with prizes awarded based on final positions.

Sit-and-Go Tournaments
These tournaments start as soon as the target number of participants is reached. Typically smaller and shorter, players engage in a series of battles or challenges, with the winner determined by performance.

Creating a Tournament
Creating a tournament in Illuvium allows users to promote their projects, products, or brands. Creators can offer various prizes, including Illuvials, NFTs like land, or ILV/ETH tokens.

Setup Options
Tournament creators need to specify:

Type of Illuvials to hunt or capture.
Rank requirements for Rank Advancement Challenges.
Entry fees, if applicable.
Prize distribution, including Illuvials, NFTs, or tokens.
Tournament time frame.
Any additional requirements, such as joining a specific Discord server or completing a prerequisite.
Note: Only approved Illuvium staff or whitelisted members can create official Illuvium tournaments.

By offering customizable tournament options, Illuvium provides a flexible and engaging platform for players to test their skills, earn rewards, and connect with the community.

Here are some tournament elements from other blockchain games that could be integrated into Illuvium to enhance the gaming experience:

1. Guild vs. Guild Tournaments (Axie Infinity)

Guilds compete against each other in organized tournaments. Players represent their guilds, and the performance of each member contributes to the overall score of the guild. Winning guilds earn collective rewards that can be distributed among members.

2. Seasonal Leagues (Gods Unchained)

Players compete in seasonal leagues, where they accumulate points over a season. At the end of the season, top performers are rewarded with unique items, NFTs, or tokens. Seasons can have unique themes and challenges to keep the competition fresh.

3. Staking-Based Tournaments (Splinterlands)

Players stake tokens to enter tournaments, which helps reduce frivolous entries and ensures committed participation. The prize pool can be generated from the staked tokens, creating a self-sustaining reward system.

4. Draft Tournaments (Skyweaver)

Players draft their team from a random selection of Illuvials rather than using their own collection. This levels the playing field and tests strategic skills. Draft tournaments can have entry fees and offer significant rewards.

5. Community Voting on Tournament Rules (The Sandbox)

Allow the community to vote on tournament formats, rules, and prizes. This increases engagement and ensures that the tournaments reflect the interests and preferences of the player base.

6. Sponsored Tournaments (My Crypto Heroes)

Brands or influential community members sponsor tournaments, providing prizes and increasing the tournament's prestige. Sponsors can offer special NFTs, exclusive items, or large token prizes.

7. Leaderboard-Based Rewards (F1 Delta Time)
   Players earn points based on their performance in regular tournaments, with a global leaderboard tracking the top performers. Regular rewards are distributed based on leaderboard rankings, encouraging continuous participation.

8. Real-Time PvP Tournaments (ChainGuardians)
   Real-time player vs. player tournaments where participants compete live, creating a dynamic and engaging spectator experience. Real-time tournaments can have live commentary and streaming, increasing the visibility and excitement of the events.

9. Progressive Jackpot Tournaments (Decentral Games)
   A portion of entry fees contributes to a progressive jackpot that grows until it is won. This can create excitement and larger prizes over time, incentivizing more players to participate.

10. Player-Created Challenges (CryptoKitties)
    Allow players to create their own challenges and mini-tournaments within the game, setting their own rules and entry requirements. This fosters a creative and engaged community, with custom prizes set by the challenge creators.

Integrating these elements into Illuvium can provide varied and engaging tournament formats, encouraging greater participation and community involvement.

Great idea

Do you see this as a feature built and hosted by ILV?
or unofficial community based tournaments?
