What will the added value be?
I mean, if it's just to get another rating..

And when you say that the rating system only really works with a large number of people, it's basically, when you have enough people in your club, your club rating should match your 'normal' rating?

What will happen to the average rating of the club?
I mean, if you all start at 1200.. and player a wins from b.. a get x-amount, b loses that x-amount of rating points.. average unaffected.. or do I overlook something here?

I think the answer is 'No', but is there going to be any limit on how many clubs you join?

Russ,

It seems the forums are being filled with excessive spam with everyone trying to recruit at the same time for this new contraption. It's no ones fault really and hard to blame anyone, it is just that there doesn't seem to be a place to do it.

Why isn't there a 'Club forum' like the 'clan forum' for recruiting to keep it out of all the threads in every forum on this site?

Either that have some recruitment page on the Club directory itself. It's getting pretty messy out there.

Edit: Club 23

I think there needs to be a PM sent to all members infroming them about the new club system. Some players would not have noticed the new icon. This would help clubs get their 50 members and would reduce the amount of 'club advertusing' in the forums

When X from Club A meets Y from Club B, in a game the result of that match will impact on the club rating.

I don't think it is matches between club mates!

At the moment, it is a bit of a non-feature, because it is non-functional, and we need to thrash out the details here before that changes.

Once it IS up an running, I may well do this, but I suspect club membership in player profiles will help increase membership without needing to do this anyway.

Is it possible to reduce membership criteria to say 30?

That would help out some of the smaller clubs 🙂

Or why not add more features to the Clan System, rather than having a second system next to it..?

Do clubs have their own private forums?

Probably, eventually, hopefully.
