If we were to go forward with something like this, should the ladder be 2v2 or 3v3?  I think 3v3 is more fun but it would be easier to for people to be able to show up and play 2v2 (and to find a partner for it).  A roster of 4 people should be enough to field a team for 2v2.  Perhaps there would also be interest in having a 1v1 ladder.  Aside from finding a place to set up a ladder, we would also need to have competition-grade custom maps.

Some possible ladder sites:

Clanbase -- http://www.clanbase.com

Team Warfare League -- http://www.teamwarfare.com

Online Gaming League -- http://www.worldogl.com/

Maybe it would be best to start informally and perhaps to arrange things at the [DT] forum where I can keep track of stuff.  Our forum is at http://SinsDreamTeam.yuku.com

Kwengui, here's what a ladder looks like.  Here are links to two ladders from the original Unreal Tournament (1999) game for Capture-the-Flag.  The goal is to climb up the ladder.  To do that your clan challenges a clan above yours (usually you're only allowed to issue challenges within a few rungs of your own spot) and if your clan wins, you move into the slot of the clan you beat and the losing clan slides down one rung.  The clans below it slide down a rung too (until the one that was right above your earlier slot drops down one rung into that slot).  It's more fun when there are about 20+ teams pm the ladder, IMHO, so more Sins clans would need to be formed.  (I managed a clan that was on both of those ladders.)

Bumped into EEF tonight, apparently that clan is alive and kicking. They weren't aware of any ladder ideas, I take it they don't go to these forums, being mostly German and stuff.

Somebody has to talk with them a bit more

1v1 should work easily - is there any prestige lost if we only do a 1v1 ladder... will the greater community think Sins is not a real MP game?

I think we should (eventually) go for the 2v2 ladder. Much easier to keep going than 3v3, and I think you can play 3v3 matches under that one too, if both teams agree.

How many votes do we need?
