National Team Tournament/Cup
Posted: 27 Jan 2007, 03:19
I don't know if the technical challenges will be to hard to swallow, but it would be fun if we could have competitions with teams. Playing on a team tends to bring out the best in people, so we might push eachother to do better with plain ol' team spirit.
If it's possible to carry out such a competition, then I suggest that the teams are automatically formed by online rating. E.g. the four highest rated players from Poland would form POL1 while the next four are POL2. If the number of players from one country is not a factor of four, then the remainder is either left out, or they form mixed teams with player from other countries.
The cups, or tournaments, should be quite short with only 4-8 hills. A 32 hills cup wouldn't work well, since teams would be broken up due to people leaving.
