Originally posted by robbie carrobiei think people are now tiring of the clan format, i would be up for clan tournaments that would be a cross between tournaments and clan leagues where a clan sets up number of players, ratings, timeout etc, and invites other clans to join within those parameters, clan leagues just don't work as everyone enters their top rated players so those loaded with lower rated players can never compete on fair level

Originally posted by Wycombe Alsure that might work. the first thing that needs to be done though is to divorce the overall rating from the clan rating, sandbagging is the formats biggest problem. One could still be creative with pairing players but sandbagging is a blight on the system and it needs to be stamped out.

Originally posted by robbie carrobiei still don't understand why we don't already have this, surely it's not that difficult for each player to have an overall rating, clan rating, tournament rating, and club rating

Originally posted by Wycombe Alno its not, just set up different databases, there are already multiple ratings, 90 day high, tournament entry rating, present rating, five year high etc

This doesn't begin to address collusion between clans.
Can you explain why Vespin and McTayto continue to hand your clan games without even making a move ??
I am sure that suggestions to improve the clan system are worth looking at.
When these improvements are implemented, I am also sure that clans like Metallica and Wycombe will be there to compete fairly.
And when that happens, we will all see that you have not been cured of your own personal obsessions.
You just collected 12 points from Breaking Bad clan.
And already have put up another challenge to them.
No one really thinks that Moonbus' suggestions will fix that nonsense that you are perpetrating !!

Cheating is never the answer. I for one will not be re-newing my subscription if a roll back in points isn't done. This site has become a laughing stock on other chess sites. I'd sooner not be a part of it, if admins can't control things. Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Only reason I am here is to play in the clan challenges, what is the use if they are all ready fixed before a piece is moved on the board???

I am way ahead of you in that department and that is all that matters to me. I would never stoop as low as you have.
