Alright Quackers, just had a 2 hour long Skype conversation with Qwerty, Papa, Urz, Brick, Gilder and Ofiach about Cesports. I'm not sure why I was invited, but I was. Literally 2 hours. Anyway, they 'threw away' the original and proceeding documents and rewrote the whole thing. So for two hours everyone talked, some talked more than others, and it was remade from the ground up. Urz, Papa and Qwerty made all the decisions, the rest of us mostly asked questions and offered input.
The result is a website that tracks the total accrued points for each Clan. These points will be gained from tournaments and similar events (like Cogs). In addition, the win/loss ratio and other fun stats of teams within the clan will be listed. Assumingly clans can use their points to compete with each other, but that's all completely unofficial. At the end of the 3 month season there will be an 'invitational', where the top 4 scoring teams are invited to play an exclusive tournament.
The system will also include scrimmage organisation so that clans can better coordinate casters and refs for friendly competitions. These scrimmages will not in any way contribute to the clan's point score on the website, not at all. They are purely for funsies, only tournaments and events (cogs) contribute to total point scores.
As you can tell the system changed a lot, I didn't have extensive input, and I certainly didn't push for the direction it's in now, but that's the way it is. I'm not disappointed, it's not a bad system at all, it's probably a really good idea right now. Having said that I don't see it affecting us at all, I don't think it'll change how we do things. As of right this minute I don't have any plans to actually participate us in the system, but if enough Ducks want to then we certainly will.
So yeah, that's that, any questions go ahead and ask. In the meantime we still have Cogs to get ready for. Quack Quack!
