what do think about the following idea:
It would be nice (for me
) if there was a possibility of playing online without your own rating is touched. I know there is a special slot without rating but that's not the best solution at all IMHO.So if you are going online there should be a checkbox, where you can deselect the rating and then if you join a tournament your rating isn't calculated and your rating doesn't effect other players rating.
The reason for this suggestion:
- If you just wanna play 15 minutes online then more often then not you will lose skill-points.
- If you join a tournament (wednesdey/saturday) half an hour after the beginning you do not have the same chances to get a place in the top10 for automatic qualifyings as the other players and so EVERY failure in the qualifying round is penalized. That's not fair, is it?
- If you wanna play just for fun and there are just a few players with a lower rating online jumping, you will lose points every round (if you don not win EVERY hill) and therefore you go offline immediately.
And these reasons are very often reasons for me for not going online and hunting records offline instead of
So if a player will jump "for fun" without rating or knows he is in a bad shape there should be this option and the players name should marked RED for instance. Then everybody knows, he's jumping without giving his points away (and without taking yours)
Jussi, if there are some other players sharing my opinion, give it a try. Maybe you can for 1 month at first and if it doesn't work, you may remove this option
So ... i will start a poll at first!
PS: Nice jumps, Severin. FYI: I did a 97 in DEN with nearly constant wind a week ago.
