There’s supposed to be one grand championship tournament a year (audio and text)

THIS, there's been multiple GC's throughout LB Text History.

2006: 2 GC's
2007: 3 GC's
2008: GC
2009: 3 GC's (Crew Text) & 1st Topical
2010: 2 GC's, Topical, 1st Tag Team & 1st One Bar
2011: GC (All Star), Topical, Tag Team & 1st Rookie
2012: 2 GC's (1 All Star Crew), 2 Topicals, Scheme, Tag Team, One Bar & Rookie (Early 2013)
2013: 2 GC's, Scheme, Anonymous Topical, Tag Team, One Bar & Rookie (Early 2014)
2014: 2 GC's, 2 Topicals, Scheme, Concept, Anonymous Topical, Tag Team & One Bar
2015: GC, Concept, Scheme, Topical, Tag Team & One Bar
2016: Concept, Scheme, Topical, Tag Team & One Bar
2017: GC, Scheme, Tag Team
2018: GC, Summer Text, Scheme, Concept, Tag Team & Rookie
2019: GC, Winter Text, Summer Throwdown, Concept, Scheme, 2 Tag Team's & One Bar
2020: GC (Winter Text), Spring Throwdown, Scheme, One Bar


For the most part there's been 2 per year so why not change the Summer & Winter Tournaments to GC's? That would give 2018 & 2019 only 2 GC's.


I don't think the Throwdown Tournaments should be converted to GC's though but there should be 2 opportunities to get a GC title because as it stands now if you weren't here in January or couldn't make it then you've got to wait until next year to try again.

A GC in Jan and one in June sounds good.

STD’s should remain secondary.

Agree, what's your reasoning for not changing Summer/Text Champion to GC? Just curious.

Cool it's good to know mine won't be converted to GC cause I won it 2 months earlier.

Nobody's agreed to convert them yet but I feel ya.


The reason I'm against converting Throwdowns (Seasonal's 2.0) is because I think I get the concept behind them. It's to fill the schedule between the other established Text Tournaments (Scheme, Concept, Topical, Tag Team & One Bar) and it especially helps Audio (Scheme, Concept & Tag Team) fill the side up. People have argued about having too many tournaments but now-a-days people are almost exclusively participating in tournaments so why not have 1 once a month?





I'm on @Manhattan 's side of the argument too about handing out too many GC's out but we should at least have 2, it's essentially crowning someone the best battler, so once a year seems stingy to me, luck changes and so does skill, so one shot at it seems like it deter someone from staying on the site.




It would be interesting too to run a few tournaments on Discord in conjunction with those on site. For example: Concept battles could be posted and Discord users can vote on them, find out people's favorites battles of the rounds, put like "Voted Battle of the Round by LB Discord" on them. Best Concept Bar could be voted every round, which necessarily doesn't have to be the winners so someone new could win it every time.


Audio Tournaments could be run live via Discord and then have the battlers record their verses and post them on LB to vote on who won, after polishing up a bit of course.




Back to my original question, I thought it'd make sense to change Summer & Winter Champions to GC's since they're not being run anymore (Less titles to know) and Bleu & Seul won $250 each tournament they won (Hope you did too @Lockhart I don't know if you did) so I think they deserve another GC rather then a purple dead title.

Cause they’re not GC’s... lol. They are also not supposed to be sign ups either. Every three months is qualifying for it respected STD tourney and those who are in the top rank’s are to be put into said tourney. It’s a completely different concept and is mainly to encourage people to battle and use the ‘normal’ battle arenas in order to be able to participate in, thus creating/having more normal battles happen/more overall site activity.

I do agree with two GC’s a year though, as one a year, in January, just isn’t good enough imo.

I won a tournament with the same level of opponent as Lockhart and I won an emcee item.

I think you're confusing STD's with Seasonal Tournaments. I'm talking about the Summer/Winter Championships that happened already.
