TL;DR I'm making a tournament between 3 different games are you guys interested?
---
Okay, so currently I'm part of 3 fairly decent/small sized communities for different games: r/NHLHUT, r/RockBand, and FFR. I spend a huge amount of time on all 3 of these communities and I'm happy to say that I love posting in these communities.
That said, I've always thought of a way to try and unite all of these communities together. I ran multiple tournaments on FFR and also attempted to do a Rock Band League, so the idea of tournaments has intrigued me. I started thinking about this once /u/13randonH brought up the possibility of an r/NHLHUT tourney. It made me wonder if it was possible to run a tournament made up of members of all the different games that are all on one team.
Keep in mind that this is an idea. Nothing is finalized yet and I'll only host this if all the communities would want to do something like this.

Team Setup
Each team would have one of each of the following:
• 1 r/NHLHUT Player from XOne
• 1 r/NHLHUT Player from PS4
• 1 r/RockBand drummer
• 1 r/RockBand guitarist
• 1 r/RockBand Vocalist (a)
• And an undetermined number of FFR Players (b)
(a): There isn't too many vocalists, so it'll depend on participation.
(b): FFR has a HUGE skill difference between players and the number of players from there will depend on interest from each of the divisions they have for skill.

Tournament Setup
The tournament would consist of a set number of rounds, with each round lasting a week. Because all of the games are vastly different, each of them will have their own requirements for that week. The goal is for each game to count equally for the team, so this is subject to change.
NHLHU: HUT players will have to play 3 opponents from the league per week. A win is worth 2 points, a loss is worth 0, but an OTL is worth 1 point. Settings should be set to NHL Rules.
Rock Band: For Rock Band you will be given 3 random songs to play each week. DLC IS NOT IN THIS TOURNAMENT simply because it'll allow more people to participate in the tournament. The team with the most cumulative points between all songs and all band members will get max points, with points going down by one each placement.
FFR: Unlike Rock Band guys, FFR only will be required to play 1 song. Scoring will be based off of Raw Scoring. Dependent on how many players there are from FFR, the highest combined total from each team will earn max points, and dwindle down just like the Rock Band guys.
Once all the total points are added up, the team with the most overall will get 10 points towards their tournament score, with scores going down by one from there

Prizes
Let's be honest, this is the section most people will care about. Prizes would be determined based off of interest in the tournament. The prizes will most likely be a gift card for a TBD amount of your choice. This could change, but the reward will most likely not be for in game players/songs/currency.

Want to Help?
If this is something people want to do, I'll need help from you guys to make sure everything goes smoothly. I'd like to have at least 1 PS4 NHL player, 1 Rock Band PS4 player, and 1 FFR User to help me out. It's not necessary if you guys want this to happen, but it'll make it a ton easier. If you are interested, please PM me on Reddit or on FFR.

Team Communication/Formation
As stated earlier this is the main reason why I wanted to start this idea. I want to unite these communities together to do something fun. That being said, communication and forming teams can be hard to do when talking between different communities. If this does become a thing, I will set up a discord server and invite everyone interested in joining this tournament. That way everyone has 1 spot to talk to everyone and make teams.
---
I think that pretty much sums it up. If you guys have any questions please feel free to ask. If you think that this idea is garbage, please provide input and I'll see if something can be changed.
Thanks for taking the time to read this if you got this far.
