How come auto tourney medals are not shown on Winner Hall of Fame?

Are auto and TO based tourneys even added up together?

Is this because they are event items and not medals? No idea, just thought i should attempt to answer the question instead of just trolling

Always ready for a good laugh, but just wondering why aren't those together or at least why isn't it somewhere acknowledged besides your own wall

I can't find this under
https://www.conquerclub.com/public.php? ... urnaments4

for regular tournaments you get 30 max medals then 31st for 50 tournaments and so on
but surely auto tourneys should be a part of same equation

Manual tournaments and auto tournaments have evolved along separate tracks. When BW bought the site, autotournaments were a high priority for him. However, most of the TOs and TDs at the time saw them as an intrusion onto their turf, and fiercely opposed them. So, BW went and built the autotournament system without much input from the tournament world. So, we ended up with two different systems, and only later we started nudging them into some kind of integration.

Auto tournaments will probably never be included in the Hall of Fame. That is a traditional preserve of Community-run tournaments.

Autotournaments are often used for Events, and thus the scores from them are included in scoreboards which themselves form a kind of "hall of fame" for the Events. If you played in a CC Olympics autotourney, your medals from that became part of your nation's score on the Olympics Scoreboard. If you played in a Demon Speed autotourney, your items from that moved you up the Demon Speed scoreboard. If you play a Great War tourney, your medals from that move you up the Great War scoreboard. And so on, and so forth.

The Tournament Achievement Medals do total up together (yes, one-by-one up to 30, then special medals at 50, 100, and 200).

Not all autotournaments give Tournament Achievement Medals. In order to help preserve the pre-eminence of community tournaments, BW agreed to give TA medals only for larger autotournaments that exceed the minimum requirements for community tournaments. Autotournaments do give lots of other prizes ... inventory items for special events, credits that you can use in the Store, and in some cases cash prizes.
