TSL Season 2 Improvements Currently In The Works

[Dreamwin]

Yes let's start the TSL pre-season now. Can't wait to drop some European scum thinking they will make playoffs with more timeslots.

Thanks to the new timeslots, I will be 3-league all-star in the following season.

Also, I will be returning to cap Terrorist in TWDT when the times comes.

PS. Keep up the good work.

when start ?

can you change it so instead of a running total of each game through the season it instead pulls your best 20 games or so? that way if you get at least 20 games in you are at the same level as everyone else. you get a game better than one in your 20, it boots the weakest one out. that way you can nix the diminishing returns aspect and instead just keep a running tally of the 20 best games youve played. some thought into the mixed division of basing, but i think this would give a little more fair aspect to the folks who cant play as often.

[Zeebu]

also if a game doesnt make it into your top 20, it doesnt hurt your rating

[zidane]

Are you trolling zeebu cause that's exactly what happened this season...

Also dreamwin change your sig to 2nd

start date depends on qan.

not sure we'll be ready in time for september 3, which was the target date. i think september 10 would be fine also, though.

we've been in communication through august, and i sent him all the formulas and updated basing matchmaking parameters, among other things. he's in the process of coding and implementing those and putting up a rudimentary website to automatically track $ values in every league.

We need test data, play test games whenever you can plz.

[Rab]

We have some decent jav data. Jav and wb is basically the same thing.
Really need some base data for testing.

[qan]

Game data is going into the database automatically now. We're also storing game info using the TWD format, so eventually we might be able to display that sort of info about each game.

As Rab (who has taken on the work of designing the TSL website -- please give your thanks to him when you see him) said, we need more test data before we can go ahead with things. So earliest we can shoot for will be the weekend after next, as there's not much likelihood of running a base game during the week before the season starts ... end of summer and population is at the year's absolute low, as usual. (Once fall starts the usual returnees should start to surface. And if we can fix this damn lag, we're basically set for a Steam visibility round.)

Also need to talk with staff and ensure we are ready to begin hosting again. And we'll need to have everyone sign up for the next season as well (though we can do that pretty much on the fly). Note that you should only sign up with your TWD-enabled name, as you will not be able to play with anything else, and this will be checked with each TSL game played.
