A tier 1 Lockdown tournament? Let's face it, tier 1 is more of a ghost town than Blast Network, and it's a damn shame. It's not too expensive to gather a viable set, it's not horribly unbalanced, and it's quite fun.
Would anyone be interested in...

I don't mind it being slow,
I don't mind it being slow, it's just that there's inevitably some ❤❤❤❤❤❤ that takes the match for granted and pulls out the hammer. Otherwise, I'd definitely consider it.

I'd argue the lower tiers are more balanced. In T3, you're dead in so few hits I could eat a horse.

T1 LD is not even fun to play. It's balanced yes, but you can't stand out from the rest.

I think it would be cool. T1
I think it would be cool. T1 is very slow for 1v1's though. It would probably come down to guardian slap fights or people pewpewing with zappers. I don't know if a T2 tournament has been done before, but I think it would be a lot more interesting (T2 needs some love too!). However, if you're talking about a T1 GvG tournament, then that would be awesome (Prepares Cold Snap for major trolling).

If I don't find enough people/guilds interested, this may be a small scale 1v1 style tournament. However, I was thinking that instead of a best of 3/5 beat 'em up, make the victor based on who can keep control of the point longer. Like, a standard Lockdown match takes 8 minutes and 10 seconds at most, if there is no overtime period. The fight will start at the 5 minute mark, and both competitors duke out for control of the centermost capture point. I dunno, it sounded like a good idea in my head. More people care about "hurr hurr I can beet yuu" anyways.
Additionally, I'd like to make two seperate brackets. One for "anything goes" matches, and the other bracket being "vanilla loadouts" with pre-set loadouts.

Sounds cool, I'd be interested in joining.
The sad thing about T1 LD is that hammer is about three times more powerful then anything else.
I like the idea of controlling the point. I assume what you mean is that it's like a regular LD match, except there's only one point, and it's a 1v1.
Anyway, maybe you could fool around with the idea of proto-only duels. No trinkets, only two weapons, proto items only.
It'd obviously still fall to connection and computer power, but you can't balance those in a computer game.

Oh and before you go ahead and set up a really confusing forum-text-based bracket, www.challonge.com :)

"I'd argue the lower tiers are more balanced. In T3, you're dead in so few hits I could eat a horse."
i TOTALLY agree with you! i don't know how to explain why, but i just do!
somehow in T2 LD, i almost always lasted longer than in T3 LD
i wish people would play T2 LD more. whenever i play those, i always have to wait a long time.
also FRIGGIN' HAMMER SPAMMERS AND THE EXPANSION BOMBS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN NORMAL PVP!!! its so frustrating! if there is a hammer spammer, they can just do their attack combo. boomboomboom DEAD.

I've always found T2 and T1 dreadfully slow.
