thanks gabriel, but i was just lucky ! æ

Cant win all games with luck only bro

Hey np Rodi, just keep trying and if it is needed I will extend the deadline for the cup.

Everything is relaxed here, I just don't want people getting upset waiting to play their games. Just trying to find the balance to keep everyone happy

Just another thought on this. Perhaps like you have the reputation applaud and smite option here in the forum. This obviously is no good for mods to decide who plays games and who doesn't. But what about another thing almost the same where Mods (only during their cup) can vote on the players within that cup and rate them based on their activity.

Players can vote on how good a moderator is.. so maybe having the option to vote both ways so mods can vote on how good the players are at actually playing the games they agreed to play when joining the cup.

At least this way the players and mods themselves can regulate this, instead of passing yet another job onto you guys to deal with.

Nice!

Yeah it's good to have that there to check for sure. But maybe mods either a) don't all know about it or b) don't have time to check the list over and over every time a new player they don't know joins their cup.

Maybe using the stats you have gathered you could allow players to gain a "trusted" status or something.. perhaps a coloured nick for players with a 70%+ average another for players with around 50% and then one for those with less than 50%?

Anything really where there is a quick easy to reference and recognisable icon or colour that mods can readily identify.

Again I appreciate I am new here and by no means wish to come across like I am telling you how to run things. The site is great, I'm simply offering my thoughts on what I have experienced so far as a TUS player and cup moderator.

There has to be some way to help mods make informed decisions about who to allow into their cups and who to not.

Hey guys, just wondering if there is anything in place to help members here when it comes to activity in cups etc.

I am aware I am new here so this really is a question and not pointing fingers at anybody as I know (at least in my BR Cup atm) that some members there have not played games yet but certainly intend to do so as soon as they can and I have no issue with that at all.

But what I am wondering is, what stops people signing up to cups etc and then simply not playing them? It makes it very difficult to progress a cup or whatever when you (for example) have 50 players and 5 of them are just not coming to TUS or AG to check and play their games.

Perhaps some motivation on TUS's part to ensure these people play their games would help. For example if you sign up to a cup and do not contact the mod to say "I cant play because of random reason X,Y or Z and I'm sorry" and simply sign up and bail on the cup that you should not be able to sign up for cups again for a month or so if you are a repeat offender, or at least that they get a note added to their account saying "this person has signed up for cups and not finished (3) in a row. or something so that Mods can make an informed decision on who to allow into their cup... like an Ebay "feedback" type system based on peoples ability to be reliable and active.

I know that people can be replaced in cups as long as they have not played a game yet.. but what if they have? is the cup then broken?

As a new member I understand it takes time to get how everything works here, but I have always thought hey... what's the harm in asking?

Peace

I have tried pm'ing a few people to remind them about the cup but have not had any replies.

I think if people sign up to a cup or whatever here and do not play their games without letting people know a reason.. they just no show a cup, they should be unable to sign up to cups again for a month or maybe have a note next to their name so people know that "this player may not play his games" so hosts can make an informed decision.

Some people here I know are trying to play them, and there is still 5 days remaining. All will be well

It's funny though, people are voting me down already and the cup has only just began.. what else can I do?

Stop drinking the hater-aid people! xD

Dmitry says - "ok i think in few time we can play"

I'm sure that answers all your questions? XD

I guess catch him ag and next time he will play. If it happens again where he refuses his game and doesn't organise another time for it let me know.

Maybe he was just busy at that time. Always could be language barrier issue and not being able to explain why he couldn't/didn't want to play.

Or of course it could be what you said. Either way the game has to be played, I'll pm him and see what the deal is

Yeah it has been a while since I played some shoppa. Sounds great, I'm in

I extended the deadline slightly after a couple of people expressed concern that they cant find their opponents on AG.

Again if anybody has problems with the deadline then let me know and we'll try and fix it for you.

Some nice games being reported, gj guys. cya soon

Ahh cool so it is what I thought originally, that everybody plays each person in their group once before the 1st and second is decided and moving on to knockouts.

OK great, I think I understand it all now. Like I said at the start I was hosting the cup to learn how as well as have some fun.

Appreciate the help mate n1

Just to make sure 100% I have this correct then

Example

Player 1 beats Player 2
Player 3 beats player 4

I would mark Player 1 and 3 as 1st
and Player 2 and 4 as 2nd
then proceed to knockouts

Is that correct?

GG guys, congrats Husk. Very pro shot at 6 mins 10 after the fall too dude

That clears up my question ty Dark

OK then, let the games begin!

The cup starts right away bro

I'm just trying to figure out the "1st - 2nd" option to make sure I don't mess anything up before I click go.

I am reading the instructions but this part I am not yet clear on.. maybe will msg MI for advice 1st.. but Cup will be under way today for sure!
