Well this is interesting! Not sure I entirely understand the format, but I like the concept. If I am understanding the example set up correctly, it feels like there might be a lot of copy/paste teams with such a limited card selection though, no? How do we avoid that?
Thanks for always participating in the conversation, @l4l4l4 !

This format is inspired by Ever Legion’s Season Coliseum — players pre-submit multiple teams, all under fixed rules, and all battles (including the Top 4) use those pre-submitted lineups with no changes allowed. In my simple version of addressing copy/paste issue, maybe can do (
3-Team Submission Format (A, B, C)
Players submit:
Team A (main team)
Team B (alternate lineup)
Team C (another alternate lineup)
They can reuse monsters or create variations — up to them.
Usage rules:
Qualification / league rounds:
➜ Only Team A is used for auto-battles
(everyone fights 30 auto rounds using only the A lineup)
OR
➜ Team A,B and C is used for auto-battles
(everyone fights 30 auto rounds using All teams lineup)
Top 4 Finals (Best of 5):
➜ Players may use Team A, B, or C
➜ They choose a team order BEFORE the BO5 starts
➜ All 5 battles still use locked submissions
They CANNOT change teams during the finals — only before the BO5 starts.
How This Helps the Format Even More
Copy-paste becomes MUCH harder
If a player tries to copy someone:
They have to guess Team A
AND also guess Team B
AND guess Team C
That’s 3 lineups instead of 1.
This massively increases strategic depth.
Even if 2 players copy the same “meta concept,” their B and C teams will rarely be identical, which affects the BO5 finals.
IN SHORT: Just like MTG Sealed format, you construct and register your main deck ( example : White/Black ) . All your rnd 1 games have to use the registered decks, but after rnd 1 ( sideboard time ) your deck could changed into pure white/pure black or even 5 colours .
Hopefully you all able to grasp the idea.
This section is another copy/paste concern which i intreperate differently and needed chatgpt to help. I assume you referring to BoTs .
Delayed / Batched Auto-Battle Tournament Flow
Step 1: Player Submission
┌───────────────────────────┐
│ Players submit Teams A/B/C │
│ via official UI only │
│ Lineups stored server-side│
│ Hidden from API │
└───────────────┬───────────┘
│
Step 2: Tournament Start
┌───────────────┴───────────┐
│ Server generates matchups │
│ - Swiss / league / bracket │
│ Each match queued in batch │
└───────────────┬───────────┘
│
Step 3: Auto-Battle Simulation
┌───────────────┴───────────┐
│ Server simulates matches │
│ - Uses hidden RNG seeds │
│ - Positioning, abilities │
│ - Determines winner & points│
│ Battle logs stored internally│
└───────────────┬───────────┘
│
Step 4: Batch Result Processing
┌───────────────┴───────────┐
│ Update leaderboard in bulk │
│ Public API shows only: │
│ - Player ranks │
│ - Wins/Losses │
│ - Points │
│ Battle details remain hidden│
└───────────────┬───────────┘
│
Step 5: Post-Batch Reveal (Optional)
┌───────────────┴───────────┐
│ Full battle logs / lineups │
│ released for content │
│ - Replays │
│ - Analysis / highlight │
└───────────────────────────┘
Key Notes
Server-side only: Lineups never visible until after batch completion.
Batched processing: Allows hundreds of auto-battles at once.
Bot-resistant: Bots have zero reactive advantage.
Content-friendly: Reveals can be scheduled for streams or articles.
Flexible: Works with A/B/C pre-submitted teams, fixed rulesets, and Top 4 BO5 finals.
Am not familiar the codes and stuff , just an idea I ask chatgpt to translate it to human language :)
ANOTHER idea which may be Chaotic and haven't dive into much is CHAOS ASCENSION .
CHAOS ASCENSION: A League-Scaling Auto-Battle Tournament
One team. Four leagues. Pure chaos.
The idea popped up while refining the “fixed-rules autobattle tournament”…
What if your single submitted team didn’t just fight once, but ascended through Splinterlands leagues?
Not by rank grind —
but automatically, round by round.
That’s the concept behind:
CHAOS ASCENSION — Tournament Format v2
Core Concept
Players submit ONE lineup.( Team A)
The lineup fights through multiple rounds.
But each round uses a higher league ruleset, unlocking more:
card levels
abilities
stats
This creates a progressively intensifying tournament, where your TEAM evolves even though your CARDS never change. I forgot whether bronze allows legendary unit to be played or not. Probably will delve more once i have some information.
