My name is Gokhan.
I've been looking at the threads for last year's league, which had squads, and the amount of whining and dodging was incredible. I'm glad we've transitioned to a random partner system for XPSL. It really feels a lot more inclusive, and so the league has been relatively painless and free of bitching. 80 games in 1 week is quite impressive! Good stuff everyone (especially Xtreme)
The only thing we need now is some more activity from those outside the current top 10.

Personally, I like being able to pick my own partner. Snipers is a team game, I go into it with a team. Obviously it has been hit or miss during previous leagues though.

we also need to find a way to stop the same 4 from rming 10 games straight when theres maybe 3 ppl just waiting in lobby... Losers gets off? winners continue? Or 3 game limit with same 4 ppl? something like that idk...

If you could add a rule saying that whoever has lower level should be priotised in gaming. For example in channel we have spec - level 400, laz -20 , kt -30, me - level 10 and major- level 1 and we all want to game.. Spec should be the one having to give his spot. Reason is simple.. Sometimes i log in for only 30 min.. And i wanna play but people already "promised" they will rm so i end up not playing. You want to promote activity so make ppl with lower level play when more than 4 ppl are looking for a game. Or else theres no way to catch people that are always on (spec)

My plan was to implement an xp cap one you reach a certain amount of xp every week based on your level. And once you reach that cap, you no longer get xp for wins and mvps, only kills, which isn't that much once you factor in the negative points for deaths. You would also get negative xp for losing a game once you are capped as well.

Im also thinking of implementing a rule where the league is actually shut down 2-3 days a week. If I don't input the statistics every night it gets a little crazy trying to catch up. Unless I can find someone I trust that is decent with google spreadsheets to input games on my off nights. But I do still like the thought of the league being turned off a couple days a week to allow more public games to be created and get new people involved in the sniper community. Ive already seen some people refuse to game with people not in the league because that's all they want to do and I don't think that is right.

Also, thinking of adding a random recording claim once or twice a week. The person who will have to post a recording from their last game played if their name it's randomly selected.

Yeah Tj, I was actually going to bring that up with you. We won't be able to promote more games if we only league, Def. We'll never get new players. I think it would be a good idea to do 2 days a week.

Half would be fine, i think doing only 2 days a week is too little. I think something like 4 would be good in terms of maximum.

If you limit the days people can play it's going to hurt activity in the long run. I want to play when I feel up to it, not when it's convenient for a league format, and I'm sure I'm not alone. If people playing the same teams over and over is a problem, it's really up to the players to govern themselves and allow others to jump in. Every method you guys have posted, while I can see it seemingly being a good idea, is counter-intuitive in functionality.

Well the idea would be to only take 2 days off. And as much as I agree with you druzil, there does need to be time spent in public games as well.

Or we can have everyone allowed in league, and pick and choose which players are not allowed to participate without recording? Like a probationary period or something...
