Tournament Newsletter--Subscribe Here! 1st Issue 11/4

GreecePwns · Post by **GreecePwns** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 8:32 pm

I was thinking...hey Colman can do it in the Foundry right? So why not here? Maybe this could be a team effort. Some features I was thinking of were listing of new tourneys open for registration, highlights of recent action in some ongoing tournaments, and recently finished tournaments. Maybe even "Tourney Organizer of the Month" where a certain organizer answers questions or something?

What do you guys think?

Do it.

Make it good though.

Why not?

yorkiepeter · Post by **yorkiepeter** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 1:49 pm

excellent idea

Syzygy · Post by **Syzygy** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 2:07 pm

Sounds good.

GreecePwns · Post by **GreecePwns** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 2:08 pm

Good to see that people are interested. I was thinking one every 2 weeks, with the following sections:

New Tournaments - a section for tournaments that have just opened registration

Starting Tournaments - for tournaments that recently filled up

Highlights - every month I'll pick 5 random tournaments and show the recent highlights and standings

Final Matches - any tournament in it's final game will be featured here. A link to the game will be placed here

Featured Organizer - here will be a short question and answer session with a featured organizer for that issue.

Anything else?

sounds like a plan

Godd · Post by **Godd** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 3:17 pm

great, once you got the wraps on it add me the pm list

GreecePwns · Post by **GreecePwns** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 3:19 pm

Ok then. Now that we know people are interested...I will add all of you to the PM list (tell me if you choose not to). Time to brainstorm.

That's a lot of work.

Some possible features (add in a LOT more work):

1) Player/Team of the Month [best win/loss ratio in tournaments - not necessarily a champion (at least 3+ wins)].

2) Loser of the Month [worst win/loss ratio in tournaments - at least 3+ losses]

Will you differentiate between Tournaments (max 20 games/player) and Leagues (min 10 games/player)?

I'll think about the win/loser thing. Maybe start everyone at even from now and record stats from then on.

With every tourney or league comes a description under it.

Optimus Prime · Post by **Optimus Prime** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 3:27 pm

Put me on the list of course.

Aerial Attack · Post by **Aerial Attack** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 3:50 pm

Sweet!

I have a new goal to shoot for ... Loser of the Month !

Oh wait, that conflicts with my point mongering ways *growl*.

I wonder if you could win a mini tournament (i.e. Point Grabbers) and still end up as the loser of the month?

...

EDIT: I think I figured out how - win Battle Royale and lose every other tournament !!!

EDIT2: I wonder if the mods know when there's going to be a Battle Royale. Maybe they'd want to publish a potential week (or even 3 day window) when it would occur, but not the actual day/time.

P.S. Add me to the subscription base, thanks.

Sounds excellent. I don't see the point of a subscription (wouldn't it just be posted in the forums?) but sign me up regardless!

jennifermarie · Post by **jennifermarie** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 4:11 pm

put me on the list

thanks

Appreciate you're efforts.
Sign me up, Scotty

You are going to need a staff. That's A LOT of work.

I was thinking of that. Anyone interested? Although I think I can tough it out.

denominator · Post by **denominator** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 5:39 pm

definitely sign me up.

jennifermarie · Post by **jennifermarie** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 9:54 pm

i can help with writing for the paper.

Night Strike · Post by **Night Strike** » Fri Oct 05, 2007 1:01 am

Definitely sign me up for a subscription. I may be able to help write/research stuff, but no promises.

By the way, GreecePwns, it would be nice if your signature links were clicky straight to them (like OP's) instead of having to register.

I am, without a doubt, IN

I'll help with statistics.
