DXT3 Hiatus Announcement

Hey DXT crew. We’ve got some news you probably aren’t excited to hear, but it’s important that you know: DigiXros Tournament 3 is going on hiatus.

Ultimately, many of the judges found themselves unable at the current moment to give the attention and dedication that the tournament needs in order for it to succeed. We’re trying to make this third tournament even better than the last, but with other responsibilities and project on our plates it has become difficult to keep up the energy level that we know we need to make DXT3 really shine.

It would be remiss if we were to rush things when they weren’t ready for our wonderful competitors to enjoy. We want to deliver the best tournament possible, and we want to do it at the right time. Now is just not the right time.

We owe the competitors and spectators an apology for keeping this a secret for so long. We’re sorry for our opaqueness and our silence. We hate to disappoint, but we didn’t want to postpone the tournament until it was our only option, and so we kept things on the down low as a result. We’re committed to working towards being more transparent with our struggles in the future so that you guys don’t get blindsided by our private discussions.

The tournament will be postponed indefinitely, but DXT3 is going to happen – just not for a while. Our current estimate is next spring, but we will give detailed updates every few months to our plans going forward. We’ll also continue to moderate the group and answer any questions or comments that are posted to the DXT page and journals.

For anyone who is disappointed because their Digimon engines are already revving we suggest channeling that energy into our sister group TheDigitalLeague. TDL is an art-focused PvP group that already has a Xros option built into it. Much like a tournament, you go head to head with other group members in comics or splash pages, but nobody gets eliminated so you can participate as much as you’d like! The group really needs help getting off the ground and welcomes DXT competitors hoping to stretch out their Digimon muscles.

In conclusion, we’re all sorry for postponing the tournament and for being covert about our discussions. We apologize for promising something and being unable to deliver. And we apologize for letting all of you down when you were excited to get the DXT3 show on the road. DXT3 is still in the cards. But in order to give our best performance in crafting the tournament, we need to take some time off and regroup. Thanks for understanding, and thanks for reading.
