i would keep it the same, and i agree Tom people should be allowed to stay on 800 if they wish, im not at all fussed about my rank on here but pool i liked to stop on 800.

i now think if all tournaments are rank may aswell take away all friendlys and have guests with rank.

i agree mark, everything is about rank now

most the time im either playing friendlies with friends/or with guests....now if i want to play tournys, ive gotta build my rank back up after.

same here jack but now its all based on rank , tournaments is good with rank but not all....

can you imagine how open to cheating it would be if even guests had rank? i hope that wasnt a serious suggestion.

Getting rid of friendlies would also open things up to accusations of cheating since there is lots of players who play friends and could gain/lose rank that way which looks dodgy.

all we are trying to say is , why is all based on rank.

I think nicks idea is to remove the perception that rank is such a big thing.


i just thought of a radical idea. remove rank altogether......

have your "rank", ie the title beside your name based on win percentage?

People won't be happy about that ^^

Think of all the time people sepnd carefully picking opponents to get rank up, all gne to waste

I think that would prone to abuse and very difficult to monitor. I play a lot of guests and some nights a lot will just up and leave for no reason (quite often before a ball is potted) so having lots of results on the profile where default wins are given will be little indication that anything untoward is going on .

i was joking bud meaning to much rank on one site!

Lol ... but I always take everything you say seriously

hehe

If anyone has a suggestion for a better name....

However TournaPoints is still clear what it represents and a bit less boring than just Tournament Points (which it was going to be initially).



Quite a good idea, but rather than removing it, just making it a bit less prominent is an option.

Best idea i have heard of on here, Some people make out ranked points is money or life or death some of the abuse you get of people when you play ranked.

nick is it possible we can have half ranked tournaments / half friendlys?

or how about ranked start it on :00 past hour and friendly could start at :30 past hour, friendly ones could have worth half tournie points than ranked.

If it's friendly tourny then there should be no points available considering it's a friendly.

or same amount of tournaments each hour mixed 00:00 ranked 01:00 friendly

Are all Tournaments ranked now ??

I have to say it is dissapointing to someone like me, who likes to enter tournaments but I don't play ranked games except the odd game of Killer. Now it appears I am forced to choose don't play tournaments or play ranked games, I don't understand why ??

It surely could have been possible to implement the "Tournapoints" without affecting rank ?

There are a lot of people bothered by rank on this site. Does it now mean if certain people are in a particular tournament hardly anyone will enter ? As from statistics it shows you would have a very hard job winning against some people who play on here who have excelled in their gameplay.

either way, i wouldnt mind, but the friendly tournaments is kind of out of the window if you cannot stay on 800 anymore.
