Ladder competition

[Weasel]

Hi folks; We have been bouncing an idea around in the officer forum so I thought I would bring it forth and ask you guys what your opinion is. A fellow officer was asking about resetting the ladders since all the top guys may not be the best players, but have been here the longest (ahem).

While this won't happen, since it does penalize those who have put the time in, a second option was brought forth which I think has merit. This is to run a competition using the ladder sort feature (now you know how I found out about it).

Basically it would be something like this:

On a given date we start the competition and see who is the #1 guy on the ladder using the ladder sort at the end date. This person would be awarded either a medal or bonus points, not sure which but leaning toward a custom medal.

Example: start date 1 Jan 10, end 31 Dec 10. All games completed between these dates count. The top person is awarded a prize.

I figure this might induce the new guys to play more as I think maybe they feel they will never get on the first page so why bother.

So what is your opinion? Answer these questions:

-Yes or no to the idea
-points or medal
-anything else you wish to add.
