What if you start with >50 players, so your rating system will start up..
But what if some leave or are being kicked, and you fall under the 50 player limit.. what happens then?

The only real difference that remains is the amount of games that you can play..
the point of subscribing is to support the site. The features are RHP's thank-you note.

Hey Russ! :-)

Well, I hope you will be able to do something that

1) won't be a lot of work for you
2) won't, after it gets going, cause you any problems, and
3) will attract more business for you

I'll try it. :-)

Games are now being assigned to clubs, and will be rated once ratings are introduced. (Games are now listed within the club pages.)

So they all count from now on.

There is a short delay between a game starting and appearing against any clubs.

< than 5 mins.

They are not rated yet, but the game you have finished will be later.

Are you saying only clan threads in the clan forum?

If so many of the recently posted rubbish would be more appropriate to the general forum.

No-one, (except you, then again I got it right first time) is bothered about the actively seeking Club members threads.
I am suggesting this because it appears some members have been issued warnings for trying to recruit for their clubs. That was the reason given by a forum moderator. They called it spam.

So to stop that from happening, and to help comply with their request I made a suggestion to have a designated area for clubs.

If a forum moderator had a problem with it than apparently I am not the only one that has a problem with it, and I wouldn't have even mentioned it in the first place. I just don't want anyone including you receiving a forum ban for recruiting. I was trying to do what I could to comply with their requests in a reasonable manner. Any more questions?

Yeah...I do believe there should be a club only forum.

But also a link to the clubs at the top of the page...I have to find the post and then hope the link is there for me to found out what club i even signed up for.

Or maybe a person's clubs should automatically be put in their profile.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before

Dave at the top of your page, next to the Playblitz button there is a quick launch button for the new clubs. That will help you find all your clubs.

I hope that is what you mean.

What is the procedure to get a game. Is there some prescribed challange system or will we be automatically asigned games within our team? Will the challanged player be allowed to decline to play? I have a very strong feeling against the rating system for players of lower ratings to benefit unfairly from a draw or a win. I have lost games to sandbaggers and the rating penalty is outragous. At one point I considered quitting this site and another site I play at. It simply isn't right. This site is good compared to some of the others on this point, but then this site expells cheaters at a much higher rate, which I strongly do approve. My one ambition in life is to reach a 2000 rating. I'll probably never make it, but I would like the opportunity to be there. Not subject to a rating system that punishes a player for playing a challanger of a lower rating. And that is what it is. A punishment. Well, all I can say is: "Russ, I think you are doing your very best to make this a good site, and regardless of how things turn out, thanks for your time and effort".

Eureka! The new club system is not intended to help catch cheats. The new club system is designed to let the site admins avoid banning cheats.

Whew. Took me a while. The clubs will serve as dumping grounds for cheats with a fan base.
