Alright, we already got our website to host on http://www.pxgl.org, and gaming ladder software as well as web-admin Ero from CEBU and organizer admin DA from JEDI.

We're not sure yet what tournament/ladder structure we're going to use, prize money if any sponsors etc, what mod and what rules etcetera, but we'll have a COMMUNITY meeting to discuss this when we're that far on.

The biggest problem first is, we need servers. JEDI and CEBU have offered their server for use, but we need a much bigger pool of servers to play on, so that they don't get overused, as well as offering both teams in the match a choice of locationed servers, so that both teams can get as balanced ping possible.

Secondly, we need people/clans/teams to declare their interest so that we can get a critical mass to start up this ladder/tournament of ours.

So, if you have a server, please offer it for use, likelihood is that it'll only have to be used once or twice a day, so don't worry you'll still have use of your server for training/mix scrims/pub play on.

If you don't have a server, then just post in this thread if you/your clan/your team is interested to join.

Anyway, we have JEDI, CEBU, <3M, SwL.RvG, FT5 support now, like I stated before we have not even discussed the mod etc or the details, but first we need 2 things first, people to declare their interest (i.e. willing to join the tournament ladder) and online servers to be offered for use for the tournament.

This tournament or ladder will be online-based, and matches will be probably be played weekly, over a couple of months, so as long as your team can play online once a week, you can prolly join.

I also need individuals who are willing to help with the administrative stuff, we've got DA to do organizer admin, and EroSennin from CEBU to be our web-admin, but we need more community help, i.e. people to do PR, help DA out with organizing, be the online marshals for example and other stuff obviously.

will ESP join/support this? I appreciate Brian's help from the background, but at this point of time, we need critical mass in order to make it a reality

same goes to other clans

in regards to not having enough cdkeys.... at this point of time, I count 3 cracked servers on that list, and possibly one more

it'll be much easier if you had legit cdkeys but its not the end if you don't

Which is why I am "collecting" offers to use for servers, so that we can offer a POOL of servers for possible use, therefore each match, the two teams will both agree on a server to use, the general guideline being that the server should offer good pings for both, so what you are saying, is actually, what I am doing, or well, trying to achieve. For example, if the match is FT5 (india) vs S!GA (thailand), I'm not going to say "oh no you MUST play on singapore server", they can well and good play on whatever server they choose, as long as it runs the mod of choice, as well as has demo+SS of results.

Thanks for your input though.

However also note, there becomes a lot of constraints when for example, your team HAS to play on a cracked server, because not all the servers are cracked. Which is why I said, its not IMPOSSIBLE for cracked teams, but it'd be easier for everyone if we all had legit, yeah but not end of the world, still can join if you are dedicated and willing to find a solution.

And evilme, why not then attend the community meeting and help decide?
