Tournament

A MCBall Tournament (also known as Tourney) is a special event hosted roughly once a year, having players assemble teams to fight each other on to win prizes and fame. A special Connect Four tournament was held in September 2016 and summer/recreational tournaments will be held in the summer of 2018.

Winning Team
The winning team receives a forum banner saying that they have one the specific tournament, visible on their forum posts, as well as some points to redeem in the store and VIP. (Ultra if VIP is already purchased/awarded.)

Second Team
The team that places second in the tournament's official results receives no forum banner, but a rank and some less store points.

Third Team
The team that places third in the tournament's official results receives a small amount of points.

Past tournaments
Tournaments 3, 7, and 9 were considered not as formal as they should have been, as a result of kit usage.

Connect Four tournament
On September 17, 2016, a special Connect Four tournament was held. Xorgon won with CandyLand445 and Measmin coming behind in second and third, respectively. Xorgon won the Supporter pack, Candy the Snowman pet, and Measmin a spell or hat of their choice.

Map choice
The team that gets to pick may choose any map on the server that is open to the public, excluding Medieval Times and Wild West, which are banned from being picked due to its large nature.

Team choice
Users may assemble teams of one captain, players, and substitutes if those players are not able to play.

Viewing
Streams were viewable live on waffletastic's Twitch, and old footage was uploaded to YouTube.

How upcoming tournaments will be accessible with a new owner will be seen by July 2018.

Standard tournaments
All nine standard tournaments have been scheduled with waffletastic as owner of MCBall. These tournaments had a bracket-like schedule and typically consisted of multiple days. It was pretty intense and notably some of the same winners won again. The last tournament to use this format was Tournament 9 in 2016.

Connect Four tournaments
Connect Four tournaments utilize the Connect Four plug-in/mechanic in the new MCBall hub. There has only been one Connect Four tournament, being in 2016.

Recreational/summer tournaments
Buffowatts announced two summer tournaments to take place in the summer of 2018 on May 29. The first tournament was announced to be a recreational tournament, scheduled for June 30. These tournaments will be more relaxed and open to the public as compared to the previous intense championships.
