saxon, will do on the matches won and probably tournaments won is easy also. On team page having record might not be that great, your team does not have a roster lock, so people can come and go, and your team can be disbanded at any time (its potentially impermanent unlike a league where your team sticks together for several months), also, you can join a tournament with anyone, so if you join a tournament with 3 teammates, and a random or clanmate or whatever, does that count as a win for your team? i just dunno how much the team wins stat will mean…

my stats are muy terrible

Hey to lazy to read what you all wrote.. my suggestion is that in the box you guys give to show stats and shit of the individual players.. you should also show how many matches and tournaments they have won. Also on the team page you should have that up so if you were to browse teams click on my team. Scorpico.. you would see that we are 1-0 and have won 1 tournament. just a suggestion.

right, its teams, CS is a team game :)
if we add a game that is not a team game (like chess or something) then it won’t be team-based, but CS is a team game…and i think that splitting that when you win, splitting the $ evenly amongst your team is most fair.

see, i played at t.com, at t.com you couldn’t play with your team, i really did not like this. you played always with random people, who knew if they were good or not, not trustworthy. I always remember thinking "there are all these old CAL teams and teams from other leagues, if they could play at t.com they would, but you couldn’t play as a team at t.com…it was so “ish.”

Our theory here is that if you are playing for $, you will want to not play with random people, you will play with a team, maybe an old CAL team or a team from some other league. So say your league plays Thursday nights, so you want to be able to make some $ every other night of the week when you don’t have your league match, so you tell your team to show up at GG. Now if they register for the tournament and then don’t show up, why would they do that?? they just flushed their money (and probably your money) down the toilet. plus you going to tell them to bite it and not ever play with them again.

i think if you want to play with randoms you will play practice play, this is a good way to meet new teammates if you don’t already have a team, here if someone no shows its not a big deal, its just for fun.

p.s. this is not gambling, its skill / legitimate contests. like a chess tournament or tennis tournament, etc.

we gonna make some earlier tournaments this weekend for you brits !

aye you should have hard time understanding what i write as im so blitzed when writing i have hard time typing. but it seems you confermed what im afraid off.

the pay out is done in teams and the teams are not skill set when ppl dont choose there partner. This will invertibuallly cause problems down the lines with hacker and disconnect issues as one person will always have to face the teams outcome. Its a good system dont get me wrong but it favors the team over the single person. in gambling all your gaming for is you not your team really alough it destroys the objective of the game when you invest ur money you dont want it riding on some randoms head.

if you get me dunno how else u can do it with this system or adapt it i dunno what to suggest atm cus i havent had a smoke on it=D but yeh i think you may find that judgeing the winnings on the team not the player might discourage a fair few ppl as all the old school gamers who are still active that im feelin will feel the same way if one person in a team fucks up then ur still in the shit pardon my french. it just became one of the riding issues of pf if u remember and what peeved ppl off the most. i like how u can pic teams etc but its still ish if u get me.

sorry for being so very confusing.

edit -

just played a match and a player did not show making it 2v1.

just thought id sum up what i was suggestin in there. if 2 ppl dont show for a fight for example make the slots open to all. if the slots are filled then the player is refunded. if there not filled then the player is still deducted to refund or for winners fee i dunno how u guys are plannin this. just 2 randoms in a team is better then no players at all. its also unfair gaming. sorry to go off on one about dis but i really wanna see a succseful cash gaming rigg set up.

secondly the prices for entry etc i feel are just abitt to steep,even if your playing for big doller then you dont really feel ish about risking that much cash esp if above ^ might happen. the sites are being aimed just abit high i feel.

final point.

whack a match perhaps at 21:00 hrs u will get more brits then trust the home of the original 3 systems u want british spunk on ur servers testin out ur system.=D

Piratheseus I am having a really hard time understanding what you wrote.
This is how the payout system works.
The more participants that sign up for a tournament, the more participants will get a share of the prize pool (read the “The Authoritative Prize Pool Distribution Breakdown”). This is better than any other eSports system out there. Most other tournaments out there only give prizes to 1st place, or maybe 1st-3rd place regardless of how many people register (whether 10 teams or 50 teams they would still only pay the top three teams). This is dumb, because say you fly to a LAN, pay for your airfare, hotel, food, play for 3 days and then come in 4th place, you may be the 4th best CS team in the world, win $0.00, and actually lose money b/c you paid for plane ticket, hotel, etc. Get Gosu way is a logical system, if, for example, 50 teams show up, the top 8 teams are going to get some money. Boom. Now all of a sudden the top 8 teams are making money, not just the top 3. All of a sudden being the 4th best team means something. Also, all these prizes are known up front, and the community is paying for them, so its not like when you go to LANS and they are like “well if 10 players show up then you will win this crappy prize, but if 50 players show up you will get this nice new CPU as a prize,” alright well what if 200 players show up? “you still get the nice new CPU” yeah but you have 150 more people! The prize should be bigger!!! Now that is some major ish. With Get Gosu, if 200 teams played, then top 32 win a prize and the total prize pool will obviously be 4 times the size b/c 4 times as many people registered! No ish there!
If you get a payout, the payout is split evenly between you and your teammates, that is just fair. Who is to say that you should get more than your teammates b/c you had a few more kills in your match, maybe one of your teammates jobs is to bait the other team, you can’t penalize them for that, it is not fair. If your team keeps winning and one guy on your team you know really isn’t pulling his or her weight, and everyone else on the team is jealous they are getting equal winnings as you, well then kick them out of the team and get better teammate.
As far as winning teams not getting a chance at moolaz, well, this tournament system is a total free-market-democracy. You can play whatever tournament you want. Naturally, what is going to happen is the top teams / pros will end up playing in tournaments where the registration fee is a lot (like someday pros are going to be playing in tournaments with $1,000+ registration fees or whatever), and noobs are gonna play in tournaments with $1 or $20 registration fees or whatever. So naturally the skill of players will separate / break down based on how much money they play for. Now a pro could come and register for a $1 tournament, they are free to do that, if they do, they will pwn some noobs, in that case, the noobs will have just gotten to play against a pro, this is kind of cool (if someone told me I could play a pick up basketball game with lebron james for $1 I would say “of course”). A pro probably wouldn’t do this though, why play for $1 when they could play for $100 and make 100 times as much money in the same amount of time. Now a noob of course is free to join a $100 tournament as well, if they want to “go for the gusto” they can, they might get pwned, they might find that everyone else is a noob too, dunno. Anyway, anyone can do whatever they want.

Alough i havent already gandered fully into ur winning system i take tit pays the winning team of the match then the highest ranked team, this is kinda a ish system as lower skilled players will be left behind. Prizefight god bless it kinda showed that the team payout system is ish and also doesnt work in the long run.

The goblam system however of anti etc like poker tourlaments ran brilliantly and was going to work sadly we know what happened there.

t.com finalaized our understanding that the pf system was never gona work.

I know this one works on pre set teams ofc allowing more contrast into the system but its seeming abit ish atm, it seems some people might loose out on money due to team mates again not strikin at the lesser players im more saying they need a system that will help them achive moolaz.

if u can pick out what im gettin at in my stoned ramblings then gud cus i feel this post may be premtive to seeing what u have to offer i dunno meh bleh heh.
