Creating tournament topics

When creating tournament topics, please use the format:

MM.DD.YY - Map - # hours

It's not hard, and it'll help when looking back on shit in the future. Winter shouldn't have to do all of the work for you.

We could also start putting the winner in the topic titles too, after the number of hours. That's up to you, just an idea.

No, but it is nice to have a little bit of order. It makes things easier to archive and access later on.

The only thing that I would suggest is abandoning the MM/DD/YY format because it is ambiguous, given the many variations of the date format used around the world (not to mention that the American way in particular is kind of silly). I would stick with DD MONTH YYYY (e.g. 19 February 2012 or 19 FEB 2012), just to avoid confusion.

^ precisely. Although I think it is necessary; topic titles are supposed to be descriptive.

And good point on the date format, xurich, although I feel most people will know it's the American date. I'm English, and I know!

Good topic. Please sticky this to the top of the uTanks Tournament section as well. Could you also sticky the Cup Lists thread in the uTanks Tournament section to the top since I can't sticky topics.

Thanks!

Edit: Also, since most tournaments are 1 hours (mainly for uTanks, but TP seems to be this way too), I don't think you need to put 1 hour in the 1 hour tourney topics, just a 2 hour in the 2 hours would be sufficient.
