Maybe one could take 'standings' out of the menu, and put a dropDownList above the 'Ladder' page This is what you have when go to the Seasons page. You see a list of all seasons, click on one (the link is maybe not yet very intuitive, maybe an icon would be better, but for now, click on the date) a...

Maybe it would be easier if you just give every team a zelo of 1200 at the beginning of the season, then it could be computet 'normally'. However, that would just be a second, seasonal zelo, and it wouldn't affect the 'real' zelo. Just a thought. The current demo features this now, you can go and v...

Im pretty much outnumbered on this, but I've voted against cap limit. Because I also hold "keep it simple" dearly. My reason is pretty simple. If we allow teams to forfeit, then let them use it when they feel they want to. Then there would be no need to enforce a "mandatory" for...

Yes, your right. Maybe i was confused by the design or the name Smile What about 'Winners' or 'HOF' ? Question: So, renaming Ladder -> Standings Seasons -> Winners Standings -> HOF or Ladder -> Season Seasons -> Winners Standings -> HOF or Ladder -> Ladder Seasons -> Seasons Standings -> Winners

Waddayamean with mock-up :-D _______________________________________ An explanation of the items: Ladder This is the ladder of the running season. From there you can also navigate to previous seasons. The season ladder is calculated from the win/draw/lost matches for each team in the current season,...

It seems dangerous to end a match at 10-8 if there are 10 minutes on the clock still, wouldn't you all agree? But I think Xell' point is also valid, if the rule is that match end is either 10 caps or the timer end, so when you see the cap limit not only as a means to prevent high score difference, ...

Only if you keep thinking of the 10 minutes which would have been left to play :) . If you say: "The team with 10 caps first wins, may the better team win", the team who reaches that 10 caps won and was therefore the better team. It depends on the familiarization. Either way, you should v...

Me myself i get foolish after 15 minutes no matter what the score is

For the season length, there are the following points to consider: If a season length is short, a team can play a couple of seasons very actively and thus gain a high end position, even if it is inactive for all the other seasons If a season is long it will have the participation of more teams. Gene...

I didn't vote cause i am missing some alternatives in the voting. I am either for Cap difference limit, in that the team leading with a number of caps automatically wins (I say a difference of 6 caps), but not limited by an absolute number. That games are not limited in time, but in total caps only,...

people are in different situations in real life mistake I am not quite sure where I said anything against this, i even proposed solutions where this is considered. The idea about rewarding activity (as opposed to punishing inactivity) by giving points to teams even if they lose a match is a good wa...

For information about league activity in June:

We gonna have the world championship soccer in the month of june. So USA players, don't be angry with us europeans or south americans when activity will be very low

Very true, but i think one priority is how to get the already registered players play more again. All the league sites are linked, there is hardly any gu league player that doesn't know about ducati. And I am not saying to have one site is a bad idea, personally i would really like it as long as lad...

In addition to the k * you can after this open the config file and map 'k' (silence/unsilence) , 'n' and 'm' to some exotic keys, maybe something that involves pressing shift, or change the mapping of 'k', 'n' and 'm' to jumping or firing. That way they can't talk either, as in children should be se...

Generally I think many ideas is always better than none at all. But the main issue remains, how can we get you and me to play more again before we start to ask what would be a better website. To have one unified website with lots of different views and ladders and leagues and maps, all arranged in a...

For me, being the top of the points list doesn't mean much, but I do value the ELO rating as a general sense of my team's strength. You start changing the score, and it becomes useless as an indicator of strength. taken from longhairs post The idea was to keep the team page that is sorted (or can b...

Why not on 5154 and 5156 too? First time i come and play since more than a week, and all slots are taken

Its almost like the dude on here, local modifications are a local pleasure

i like the word patriodic

Some questions for my understanding: 1. what does count? the number of caps difference or the caps ratio? So would 2-1 be the same as 4-2, or would 2-1 count the same as 4-3? 2. would you know what your score should be to increase you're rating? Lets say you lead 4-2 vs another team, and still 10 mi...

Ok, i don't call it an improvement, because: I don't have any objections to different match times other than 30 min. For all I care is we could even have 10 minute matches. But I do feel the concept of a league watered down by adding an option for several match length. I would rather see we settle o...

Yes, especially the option not to match. I am not against options in general, I like it for example to have options when going to restaurants. But for a league I would like modalities that enforces the character of a league and not only the community feeling.I think we already have to much community...

if a team is better over 20 minutes, it will propably also be better over 30 minutes

so why have an option then? why not just 20 minutes? Everybody that can play a 30 minute match can for sure play a 20 minute match.
