If I recall correctly, "Tournament" is a misnomer. You can just do a single match with a single opponent at that level range and it'll count for that level range badge.
The only actual tournment you will need to do would be the Swiss Draw badge.
In the Arena of Logic, I fight unarmed.
Easiest thing to do is get a friend and one of you selects "Create Event" at the bottom, and then presses "List Event". The other person simply refreshes the Arena list and selects that player's name and joins it. After setting the options, the person who created the match clicks on "Start Event", and the match will begin.
You'll want to run it multiple times, usually selecting the "Battle Royal" match type, and then each of the 10 lvl classes. Then you lose on purpose to each other to get the badges.
As mentioned, for the Swiss Draw you'll need more people. The only other match with a stipulation is the Pentad/Septad, which you can still do 1vs1, but the opponent must be the same AT that you are using.
Good luck!
Funny, I was thinking of posting about this on here. I was wanting to set up the tournaments (the ones needing more than 2 people) so those of us that needed the badges could get them. No, I am not interested in being a big PvP guy and earning these on those rare occasions that anyone uses the arena. I just wanted to see if anyone needed these and was willing to spend a bit of time knocking these out. Anyone interested?

FYI-
Just did this with my badger using second account to set up a pentad then a septad. It worked for the pentad but not the septad. I ran the septad twice and did not get the badge.

Win a Pentad or Septad match.
If you did a Pentad and got the badge, it follows that Septad would then give you nothing. There is only one badge for that.
On a side note, I think I do need Swiss Draw on one of mine on Freedom, so I'm in for a small group sometime, sure.

Hi,
and no different to say, the Weedwacker badge, which requires defeat 50 Hellfrost and/or Succubi. Do one foe type or the other (or a mixture) and you get the same one badge.

Ah, yeah I checked it out on the wiki and see that now. Thanks for the info, M-B!
I do want to get this Swiss tournament together. I'll post a new thread on here and see who we can get.

Thanks, that was helpful -- the badge descriptions, the badge sites and the wiki are maddeningly unspecific on the details. All I see is "Win a rated scheduled Arena match" on wiki and "Arena System Tournament" on City Info Tracker, which is why I thought they had to be the scheduled system tournaments. Maybe this is why these are some of the least possessed badges, according to the latter?|

This would also give each person participating 10 shots at a 2 billion recipe too, right? Why aren't people lining up at the arena, at least to get the badges?
Serious question, then -- I have Pentad and Swiss Draw from badging channel recruitments, so I need Duelist and Survivalist on top of the 10 ranks.
You mentioned "Battle Royale" as the one to pick -- that gets you... Duelist, as well? Or do you have to pick Duel for Duelist and Free For All for Survivalist? And is there any difference between the events when you're 1v1?
I'd rather understand what I'm doing before I try to recruit people to badge with me...
Thanks!

To be honest, I don't remember. You have to run it at least 10 times anyway to get each of the 10 lvl-range badges, and you can earn more than one badge at a time, so simply set Battle Royal first, and if it doesn't give you Duelist as well, just set Duel for the next. There are mechanically the same in 1v1 as far as I can tell.

I'd be totally in for a Swiss Draw badge get-together. I'll never get that badge (and the accolade) otherwise, so I'm all for it.

Alright, got all 10 (plus a few) last night in about 2 hours. Here's the breakdown for anyone else curious:
Ran the 1-5 weight class as a "Duel". Ran them on the "cage" map for that badge (and for ease in finding the opponent) Did not seem to be able to set the timer for less than 10 minutes on Duel? That got, let's see: Victor, Duelist, the Cage Match one, and the 1-5 Weight class badge. Switched to partner winning, same thing for them.
Ran the next classes as "Battle Royale", that allows a 5 minute timer. After the first one, earned Survivalist (and got me the accolade as well, as I already had Swiss Draw and Septad), plus the tier.
Selecting "rated" or not didn't appear to have any impact on badges being earned, though, at the end of the session I noted that I hadn't gained any "Reputation" whatsoever. That doesn't accrue in Arena, maybe?
Kind of trivially easy -- getting almost any Oro badge in the 35-39 range took longer than the whole swath here.
Thanks for the tips, people!
I rather than setting the matches for a timed duel, I always set them to a single defeat.

When they first came out, we simply defeated the person once, and then had that person quit the match, making you automatically win. No need to stand around for 5-10 minutes. This makes the Swiss Draw go by really quickly as well.|

One thing to note though is that you don't always get the badge immediately when the round ends. Even after it says you are the winner, stay in the match a few seconds longer until the "Badge Earned" banner appears, or you might not even get credit. I /bugged it before. I'm not sure if it's fixed or not, but it's worth the extra few seconds just to make sure you get the credit anyway. lol

-The matches do not have to be rated to earn the badges (except Lanista*).
-You don't get Reputation in the Arena, but it is still possible for a rare PvP recipe drop.
*Lanista is a Gladiator badge (not PvP badge) for winning your first rated gladiator match.
Grand Lanista is a Gladiator badge (not PvP badge) for winning 10 gladiator matches.
Yeah, the way I did it was "Last man standing" with the duels. One defeat ended it. Got the 10 badges in about 45 minutes that way (the other guy getting them too).
Also, I agree with waiting a few seconds after the duel to get credit. Once I didn't and the badge showed a few minutes later.

I've had 2nd accounts crash (don't exit while "phased") and didn't get the badge because they never made it back to pocket D. Tested it, and it awards once my other account zoned into Pocket D after quitting.
-r0y
"Look how many pages of crap are in this thread already!" -r0y to all threads on these forums.
Having just finished the last of my Oro badges (ugh, that 40-44 band took a while!), my next biggest chunk is the various "Arena Tournament Badges"
How do these work?
Standing at the terminal in the Arena I can see the "Tournament" tab. All of these appear to start "on the hour".
I hit "join event", and the event is starred, but it looks like I'm the only person signed up ("1/8+"), and the clock rolls around the hour and nothing happens. I hit refresh, and the time has passed to the next hour increment.
Questions:
1) There's only one badge-eligible match each hour, and all 10 bands all start at exactly the same time?
2) If no one else is signed up, the match won't start? (Awarding the badge by default?)
3) If I sign up for multiple events (looks like you can sign up for 3 at once?), how do they resolve if two or more are valid?
4) When you see multiple-people-joined events, does that mean that those events WILL start on the hour?
5) Will I teleport from "anywhere" outside to the arena building, once/if they start, or need I be in an arena zone/building?
6) Is there any relatively easy way to get these badges without having to full-on fight strangers? As my badger may not be even slightly effective in PvP...
Thanks!
