Title: 15 games limit alternative criteria
Post by: MonkeyIsland on May 14, 2016, 10:48 AM
If you have an idea about alternative criteria for the current 15 games limit, please share.
The criteria shouldn't be "increasing the limit", but preferably some sort of formula.

If sounds good, I'll try to make it for season #51.

This was my idea:

Removing game limits, first of all, would be the best thing to do. Whilst we should put MANUALLY (doesn't require a formula, just a click tho i guess) limits to players who abuse newcomers or that get disputed by a large part of the community (example: Asbest). I'd put also to those who ask tus only in private, but that's just a personal problem with those kind of people...

I want limits to be removed because everyday there are at least 3 or 4 tus active players that i can't manage to play because of limits, and i guess i'm not the only one. This makes league inactive (limits = less games played).

How do we not abuse the criteria i've just wrote here? Simple, prove everyone that you're not an avoider!

I can't change my vote. I personally would vote in the option "not sure" if we had one, I wanna say yes but noobasher abusers come in mind.

Personally I think it would best to decide it on a case by case basis. So when two players reach their game limit they can post in some forum for their games to get extended. Mods can decide based on the score of the first 15 games, how they were arranged, etc.

If it's just two players who are very active in tus and their first 15 games were pretty even then no problem.

To avoid noob bashing, just put a rule like "If someone abuses system by other ways that are not mentioned in rules, admin has right to deal with the problem manually."

Raising the limits means more games between active players -> more difficult for less active players to get in playoffs.

Therefore something like ropa said would be cool. Maybe cut the base points to half after 15 games?

Also what spleen17 said. Or more games only against top 20.

You would think they would make the game limit an even number so both players get their pick surely?

That was clever making it an odd number ;) :D

I'm only teasing btw, but based on 2 pick system, 16 or 14 or 20 would be a better number surely.

Why you didn't mention 18 then?
It's the only number that can be divided with 2 and 3  ???

Would it make sense to have like 15 games per month? That way u couldn't bash someone 30 times in the first days.. the opponent would probably lose points while u would gain points before u could play him more.

I see that 15 games is not enough for those who want to play tus every day. You just run out of opponents. Raising the limit would keep active players around and not get bored of sitting in AG without opponents. Playing every day shouldn't be a requirement to qualify for PO, though..
