Also, maybe  for the sake of harmony, there should only be one (or two tops?) Admin allowed per team?

Nah, I don't think that is necessary to regulate. I think it is better that people get the chance to play together with whomever they want. I don't think you should worry too much about teams becoming unbalanced either. Look at the last tournament. I think most people thought the team with Lee were on paper the sure bet but they were slaughtered in the finals. If we restrict who can play with who we are going to lose interest.

Yeah silly idea - who came up with that :eyebrow:

I'd like to see one tall one on either side and the little ones across the middle.

Sorry, wrong that's a step ladder isn't it :doh:

All sounds good from here.


Challengers choose maps sounds good, I guess we need a list of choices, or are we sticking to the maplist. Would be entertaining to pick deagle maps agaist people like.......err.....morbo and that damn Scout.

I think we need to reiterate the fun piece, sounds ridiculous but you could name the ladder positions

1.Champs
2. Chumps
3.Chops
4. One legged arthritic donkeys
etc.

Just to give you something - albeit minor to aim for, I want the donkey position, but don't wanna be called a chump for 2 weeks. We do similar on the table foosball at work and it's remarkably motivating. None wants to lose to a chump.

Short sharp games, giving the weaker teams a chance to get a wins before the pro's get into their stride.

We should keep a history (league table) type thing of wins and losses, for bragging rights, I know that's not dMW, but it is really.

erm....how about some HLStats and use this as a test bed eh? who said that?

Nukeladder <- Squonk found this.
 

For those that don't know, Nukeladder is a set of scripts for Phpnuke which allow you to running different forms of competitions. The module allows your users to create teams and challenge other teams to matches, while keeping track of the standings.
 
About NukeLadder
NukeLadder is a addon pack for versions of PhpNuke, CPGNuke, PlatinumNuke, IPBNuke , PhpBB , vbulletin, e107 and possibly others.
Nukeladder lets you run multiple competitions for multiple games.
 
What kind of competitions? Well, Nukeladder now includes its own mods directory where you can load different types of competitions. Adding new competition formats is easy, and more are currently being worked on. Current formats include, league, ladder and knockout.(more below)
This flexibility lets you run different types of competitions all at the same time, with the same script, same teams, and players.
You can make your own mods with some php/mysql experience. More documentation will be provided on this shortly. This is a new feature that has been added.
 
Nukeladder comes default with 2 mod types, league, ladder.
League Mod is a league format (sorry no divisions yet, could be a new mod), Its standings are based on a rating, points, ect, depends what you would like.
Ladder Mod lets you run competitions like the WorldOgl, where you have to defend your rung. If you lose a match, the challenger is going to take your rung. You may only challenge up so many rungs.
 
NukeLadder has an in-depth team admin system. All the players are pulled directly from your cms database. No re-registrations!
Your users can create teams and invite or give out their join password for other registered members to join. If you want a way to increase your visitors and registered members this will be a good way to start.

Nuke ladder could maybe be good for tournaments also?

looking very nice, and if it works w/ forum it will save a lot of time with setting up i recon, good find doc, deff one to look at more closely

[Dr Sadako]

Maybe the dMr guys could use it as well? I guess a ladder would work equally well there.

OK guys, shall I see if we can buy this with Community Funds?

I'll put it to the strongbox keyholder

BTW Squ0nk,

Didn't we used to have a ladder at AFK / AoKCC ?I seem to recall something like that.

Perhaps I'll drop a line to Fenris and see if he can remember anything

If you think it will work I am all for it. If we can use existing database of members for the ladder it will make our work much easier. I am no database guru so I turn to e.g. OB/Whitey for their judgement.
