Yeah I guess I didn't really think about the number of players. But anyway in this case we're not even at opposite ends, we are both at the higher half of gold, its just that the concentration of people at the 10k-20k rank means that even a mere 5,000 ranks can mean such a gigantic skill difference. Maybe at the least make masters league from 5,000 - 15,000 instead, that will actually make a league bigger while keeping gold healthily sized, so the players would still be evenly distributed and now fairly distributed as well.TheOnlyLeon wrote:
I understand entirely what you say and i agree with you that the skill difference from one end of a league to the other can be quite large, I do want to change this but I just don't have the number of players required to divide into so many category's and still hope to run tournaments. I have about 100 players registered across ALL LEAGUES. to divide to the extent you're suggesting and still run regular tournaments among every division I would need close to 500 and once it's that big frankly I just cant run it on my own. so for now I'm going to run it as is and see how it goes, If it's successful I'll definitely be looking at expanding to the scale you were talking about however for now it's just not an option :/cheezstik wrote:
Just signed up for gold as a rank 18k, and noticed the first guy it says im versing, here is his profile: https://osu.ppy.sh/u/rey5tv
Take a look at his profile, then look at mine, there is clearly a massive difference, I'm not even close to his level of skill, there is at least a month or two worth of skill separating us. He has a 171 and a 150pp song, and a total of 25 100+pp songs, while I have 6, low 100pp songs as my highest. 1990pp total vs 2433pp total won't make a very close match, I think you should definitely rework the league rank requirements. Here is a suggestion of what I think would be balanced and fair:
40,000 - 79,999
25,000 - 39,999
15,000 - 24,999
10,000 - 14,999
Those are the ranks that I think truly reflect big skill differences.
But just asking for this round, will there be a losers bracket? Or will I just be playing 1 round? >_>
Also, back to my other question, will there be a losers bracket that eliminated people play in?
