Replicas should be irl by nature as far as I'm concerned so can come under that.
Maybe best irl and non-irl tournament would be cool though, what do people think to that?

What's the major difference? IRL events have more show-y entries, but each one thrives off of good competitors and tight matches.

1. it'd give people who ran standard tournaments a chance to win an award even if not many people entered them
2. irl is all about the cool designs and production.

I think we should get rid of a lot of the awards that pretty much involve attacking someone like "most annoying" and such, seems out of spirit of the awards

other than that looks  :thumbup

All of the ones highlighted in red are the ones that Craaig is suggesting to get rid of. Pretty much all of the attacking ones are included in that.

Not me.

Neither of us had to worry about getting votes.

1. it'd give people who ran standard tournaments a chance to win an award even if not many people entered them
2. irl is all about the cool designs and production.

1. That is fair.
2. I guess those are larger priorities. A good gimmick and tight matches will still help.

No.

I may open voting over the next day or 2, so last chance to have a say!

Do tournaments have to be completed by the time awards open to be eligible for best tournament?

That's something I'd like to hear feedback on. Don't really want to say 'they don't have to be completed' when I may be biased in that sense.
