Tournament Changes in July

Tournaments have been run basically the same way for a while - meaning, weekly and now daily tournaments, with a few special event tournaments thrown in. I've probably been the biggest supporter of continuing running a variety of tournaments. For July, we are trying something different: running fewer tournaments but putting more hype behind them. Could it fail horribly? Of course. Then again, once all the tournaments go live, it could succeed. What's cool is that if it doesn't seem to be working, we could always add stuff back in.

(No, it's not really a word...it will hopefully make sense once the rest of the month is explained. Also, no I take no responsibility for coming up with that word lol).   The best I could do would be to maybe run a Skirmish during the last week of June, which would continue into the Fourth of July weekend (yes, July 4th is a Monday, but some may celebrate the weekend). That's not a solution though; that just means there will be 2 weeks without a week long tournament instead of 3 (or 4 if you don't count the Soccer tourney).   I'll also be taking the feedback from here when we plan out August, which was partly the point of this thread
