That's how!

10 public cups max.
Perhaps the people slowing down other cups should be motivated to get things going for the cups by someone other than me

Everyone has a bad game now and again haha...

Except Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris doesn't have a grave: you'd never see it anyway.

This cup has till saturday to get more players

Made it a public cup, since you added the pw in the description anyway

Since it's summer time and people could be on holidays, the cups are not going to have too strict deadlines right now. It has probably already been noticed I've been less active in getting cups played, and this is the reason
I think September would be a good time to reinstate the deadlines.
This does not mean you shouldn't try to get your cup games done!

If Chuck Norris presses F12, F12, space, his opponent surrenders.

Chuck Norris doesn't have crate luck; the crates know better than to mess with Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris makes cows turn around.

Chuck Norris doesn't teleport, rope, bungee, jump or walk; the map moves to accomodate Chuck Norris.

When Chuck Norris plays, the F13 key is enabled; the roundhouse kick to the face.

Yeah but seeing as you should be playing all clans anyway, it works out

If all people would play the way the game should be played, I wouldn't have quit BnG And we wouldn't be having this thread either!
And then there's the whole time zone issue which makes it less likely certain clans cross your path.

But let's take a look: In season 13, if we applied win percentage, We'd get the following clans: CF, DoH, CKC and TaG. I also recall you saying TdC earned its playoff spot, but this system you're proposing seems to contradict this: TdC should've been 8th then.

This doesn't take into account which clans you're playing against.
Certainly, if you win 55% against CKC, CF and DoH, that should be considered a better result than winning 65% against che, LoS and WM, even though the former wouldn't qualify for playoffs, while the latter would

Alright cool though at least i sparked some sort of discussion.

And this is commendable Keep the ideas coming!

It's an interesting idea, but you completely ignore the fact that if an average clan beats an elite clan, then that average clan has achieved something better than could be expected based on rating. On the other hand, the elite clan achieved something sub-par based on rating.
That means the average clan should get something out of it while the elite clan should lose points (rating is supposed to show how strong you are, it's not used for ego trips). This is in direct contradiction with point 2.

As for activity: yes, it would raise activity. But would you really want activity to be the only reason people qualify? Didn't there used to be questions about people getting into playoffs with only 55% wins?

Point 3: Do they really need help? Aren't they on top enough already? (see first paragraph)

Point 4: basically, what you're asking is a lower maximum points lost/won for each game here. This also will not change the situation: If you can win 40 points for each game, then 118 points is not an easy difference to overcome. If you reduce this to 20 points for each game, then the difference would automatically become 59 points (half of it).
But you'll still need to win the same amount of games to overcome this smaller difference.

Again: interesting idea, but I don't think it'll fix the problems and possibly creates a new one (activity becomes more important than skill).
