The idea would be to have a global arena ladder, i.e. all players.
-Each day, you get a set number of possible duels (e.g. 3), algorithmically selected around your current position on the global ladder, (no player selection of opponents, all chosen for you).
-You choose your squad for each fight and get one shot at each.
-Based on Wins / Losses, characters surviving etc for a points based system (like in the old tournaments), results are tallied up and new global arena positions would be tallied.
-Scaling rewards paid out daily based on global arena positions, e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4-10, 11-100, 101-500, 501 - 1000, 1001-5000, 5001 - 10000, etc
-Duels refreshed for the next day - defence squads selected from last x number of squads used (e.g. random selection from last 9 used on offence in duels)
Would allow there to be a leaderboard with "World Champions" in the top 50, and some potentially more diverse battling against squads from other shards.
On day 1, randomise all positions globally, and could use current arena defence squads. Have an end of month big reward based on final positions, and restart the ladder at the start of the month.
