I'd consider taking a completely different approach to this.... rather a tournament, which is one-and-done and can be perceived as a "newbie" tournament -- some sort of model to measure (and reward) "elevation" overtime would be compelling...

Like they come into a system where they are assigned a certain division (for simplicity/example sake, lets call it East/West/North/South), perhaps there are no official team leads assigned, but everyone is put into a division by default -- whether they do something with it or not, is up to them.... But if I, for example, was automatically assigned a division, I'd go out of my way to help out those dudes first (in theory) -- and overtime, the newbies which came up in that 'division' will (in theory) become the vets and continue to grow board engagement and writing skills across the board.

This type of "learning model" is long-term/ongoing, does not require people to sign-up for a league/tourney, or risk wasting anyones time (to Bags' point, it takes away from other activity)....

All reward and no risk, as the model is dynamic in terms of flexibility to change as months and years go on. "You get out what you put in". By simply assigning people to a "division" -- current members and new members a like -- it may be a good way for the 'community' to engage with each other....Over time, perhaps different divisions beef -- perhaps rivalries are born --- or perhaps certain divisions never take off, but after years of obscurity and coming in last at an annual/bi-annual ranking, a couple heads step up and turn it into something more....


Just a random thought on how I'd consider structuring something like this different --- i think this accomplishes the general altruistic goal of a 101 tourney, but allows that growth to come over time and be reevaluated on a semi-regular basis -- while allowing newbies and vets alike to partake, or ignore it...

Word I would want you on board if you think you'll be around for it man, solid post

I think we're on to something, fellas.

Knucklehead, I really do have a pretty cool "scalable" idea. Surprising, and also sad, as it is -- im finna write an industry article in a hot minute about "secondary conversion points: lots of tracking, little traction".

while potentially seemingly unrelated, lol -- I swear its ALL the same shit..

drive "community engagement" and your site will not only be successful from a traffic standpoint, but will also with 100% CERTAINTY, be profitable as well.


I'm better reserved for your sporadic advisor board than someone that can manage the task at hand ---- buuuut it should be pretty easy for us.... I hope!


are "user defined" fields available in this version? pardon my ignorance, I am a better visionary than lieutenant lol
