Could as well be my own words. That, and what Wonko wrote. You know, serious restrictions, organized ranking with strict playing rules etc might work somewhere where everyone checks the forums, stays in touch with each other, and knows "how it works". It's not the case here..

I like Tar's suggestion about not ranking the first few games of a new clan. It WILL filter out random, 1-month-ttl clans out of the system in most cases. I'd increase the number of games needed to enter the rank, tho, to about eight. If someone WANTS to take part in the ranking, then they would have to show they mean business, and if they'd prove that, all the effort put in the matches they played wouldnt go to waste, since they would be retroactively ranked.

I honestly cant find a weak point in this.. well, maybe one - serious teams might refuse to play with new clans, coz if they would fall apart, they wouldnt get anything out of playing with them, so it's a risk of wasting time. But hell, like everyone(?) is saying, it's all supposed to be fun? Let's not only talk like this, let's play like this. Woot.

i like kx idea

hm, how about giving more points if you play 5v5 than if you play 4v4. and give more point if you play 4v4 instead you play 3v3.

lets face it, clan ranking should show wich clan is better, and the more quality players in clan, the better the clan in general is.

its harder to have 5 good players than 3.

and it will encourage new clans AND old clans to recruit, to grow, and to risk it more (its more risk playing 5v5 than 4v4 or 3v3).

perhaps multiply all points won by 0.5 or 0.75 if you played 3v3.
leave them as is in 4v4.
in 5v5 or more multiply them by 1.25 or 1.5

nowai! clan A challenges clan B, but on game day clan B makes it only with 4 ppl even if they said 5. So clan A will also get less points because of clan B.

Now about the divisions thing: I would suggest making 3 or even 4 divisions. Each one containing like 10-12 teams. Then we should think of starting seasons, at the end of each season u will have relegations and promotions from lower to superior divisions and vice-versa. I have already played in a similar system back in my cs days, and it was pretty good.

Going for such a system will encourage new clans to take the game more seriously and will also prevent "sudden clan deaths"...This of course should happen if most ppl here want to make this community more serious... or we could just let it be for fun whenever with whoever...community has the choice.

@ Trance: if you make such restrictions on clan ranking, it will probably reuslt in people simply not playing ranked wars.

as for the other clan showing up with less people than agreed to, you can either decide not to play them, or you can play and not earn bonus points.

you still ARE getting points though
