Well, if its going to a vote, a resounding yes from me for ranked tourneys!

IIRC part of the reason people objected to the before was because of the GB situation at the time, since they could be forced to play ranked games against a GB fiend!

Since thats gone, i can see no reason for tourneys not to be ranked, or, for that matter, all games!

After all, if you dont want to play a ranked game, just log in as a guest!

I would like to see ranked tournies, although one of the things im a little dubious about is having to play a ''newbie'', are you going to lose 5 points a game? Or is it just going to be a reward system 5 points for winning a tourny etc?

Nah need to be all games ranked individually as Nick said.

There are often threads about losing points to newbies, but the fact is, you lose next to nothing due to the newbie adjustment! You lose more to 700+ ranked players!

As was mentioned, the ranking system is flawed due to people being able to choose the rank of opponents. Anything that can be done to avoid this is a great thing..

i just reckon that they need to make ranks a normal ranked amount, how it is atm and a tournament rank for tournaments

Cheating comes to mind...
People will just enter tournys to just lose.. if the rank don't go down...
but... on the other hand if tournys are ranked more players will try they're chances to win a few points.
I'm thinking of a differant kind of tourny, something where you can put how much rank want you want to play with.. (just like poker)

e.g
You get 10 "tourny rank" points free(just to start you off)and you get to bid. (EDITED ON NEXT POST)

if you win the touny you get 3/4 of the rank you put in to the tourny
but...
If you loose in the 4th round you'll just loose 50/100 % of your rank and tourny rank
so im saying it would be 25/75% of your rank points and "tourny rank". the 25 is your rank and the 75 is your "tourny rank"

if you dont get me nevermind havnt had much sleep

EDIT: it would be easy just like the thing when your a newbie. plus the rank you get to bid would depend on your ranking (automatic)

The simple solution is just to have all games ranked all the time.

Thats what Nick said he found ideal and there is no possible argument against it!

We dont need anything different for tourneys, just win and lose rank as normal, that way of you win the tourney you will have won around 20 ranked games agains all kinds of players, which would mean an average of around 60-80 rank points! Pretty good reward i think!!!!

i think that when people enter the tournaments to start with, whatever the game is, they "pay" mabye 0.2 -1 point of there rank from that game towards a big pot. then nick could make it winner takes all or 70%-30%, who knows...

Thats exactly why the only real way to do it is to have all games ranked as normal.

Then you win in proportion to the number of games played and in relation to the tournament difficulty, but since everyone will also lose rank as normal, you wont have stupid differences occuring.

if people want rank points there is a option to play ranked games, and some people play early morning ( 3.00am) and there aint many people on then so its easy points for the taking. i say dont change it unless it's broke
