League

[Connor-laad]

Hi all

Would anyone be interesting in starting a league?

We could make it so you and your opponent set a date to play.

You play two league games a week, any day that suits you and your opponent .

If you fail to play, you forfeit game by losing ranking points etc.

What is your thoughts?

Sounds good. Not many use this forum at the moment may need to throw the idea around in the game chat to get a few interested. Any thoughts on number of players to make it worth a go?

Hey Connor,

From past experiences, running a league manually is a huge headache. Constantly chasing after people for updates on scores and encouraging them to complete their games. Some people lose interest in the league after they lose a few games. Some users want to leave the league half-way through. It can get really messy and stressful.

The best way is an automated league but even that is not perfect. We are planning to introduce a league system in the near future but it'll need some careful planning.

If you want to run a manual league right now, you'll have to pick people who you trust that won't make it a nightmare for the organizer. I ran a few leagues manually on the other game and none of them went perfectly. There was always someone who had to cause drama and ruin it for the rest of us

I agree we need something more than friendlys with the odd special. I also know that manually setting these up or even setting these up from a DEV point of view isnt straight forward. I feel it needs to start with reputable players joining (if the want too) consisting of players who have been here for a few months who consistently play and there would need to be severe consequences for players who join with no intention of playing / knowing they can't commit to the task.

Maybe start with interest in a league and then evaluate.

So many players are getting better and now forms showing that know ones going to beat everyone, I think it could be a good addition.
