I'll see if I can work that in.

A tab up top would be up to enigma and anyone else who manages the site.

I could start adding links to casts once they come through, though I'm not sure about listing results with it - I figured some people might not want to be spoiled, so I've linked the stats pages instead so they can click on that if they want the final scores. Do you think it doesn't matter that much and I should list results anyway?

Noted and will be put on the tweeter thing shortly before it starts.

Live now, get in there! teamfortress.tv/streams/view/Salamancer

Will tweet this through the moon.

Sorry I couldn't put this on the schedule/tweet about this; I was out all day. ):

a) Free is great but running leagues does come at a cost regardless. Websites, servers, the works. Many people pay for these out of pocket anyway but it's a lot to ask out of someone.

b) Your argument that people can pitch in one or two thousand is unrealistic, especially if there are 3-4 seasons per year like most other leagues do. If you run a free league with several seasons, you'd be looking at $3,000-$8,000 in donated money every year. Look at eXtv's i46 fundraiser - they worked hard to raise so much in a matter of months for a huge event, but even then they still came short. Do you think the same thing can be done several times every year for every season? LAN prizes are thanks to both player payments and major sponsorships. You'll need to do more than just ask people to donate. Why should they offer money for a free league's prize pot that they have almost no chance of winning back? Do they get something in return for donating certain amounts? It's great that people are willing to give money for this game, but not everyone can consistently do so to support every season.

c) Restricting people just because they're really good will drop the quality of your league. People complained all the time about UGC when they had their old Invite player limit rule. However, UGC works for new comp players because it's simpler to use, a way to start out without getting completely rolled, and free so that players can drop if needed without losing money. ESEA works for more experienced players because it enforces a higher-level environment, encourages players to be more serious about sticking with their teams, and includes money. It'd be great to have free leagues with all levels of play, but that would draw in a massive playerbase and, of course, still come at a cost for management and servers. People could donate for website/server/service costs then, but it'd be terribly expensive for a league that huge.

d) UGC already has this covered. Many pubs also run their own leagues where players can dip their toes into a friendly competitive environment. Many pubbers are interested in comp and many pubbers will form a team with their pub friends to start out. How would you advertize to the many pubs out there? How would you compete against UGC and pub-run leagues? For the cash prize? But where are you going to get thousands of dollars per year?

You mean well and there's no doubt you're passionate about growing the competitive scene, but I feel like your ideas are not from this earth. It's far more realistic to run free leagues with some donation drives for service support and giving out items like keys for prizes instead. Maybe some of this could happen if competitive TF2 got big enough, but that'd be asking way too much for almost every game out there.

A lot of things happened that were out of your control, Sal. ): Good job on sticking through it despite all the problems.

Thanks for pointing this out; I've realized I got some of my times wrong as a result. Changing now!

Will put on the tweeter thing later this afternoon!

There is indeed but it doesn't list every match and I don't have any control over it.

Could do! Thanks for the suggestion.

Added!

I can include a quick guide on the bottom, along with other bits of info if anyone can think of other things to include.

I don't have power over that. ): But it's something we could try adding in the future.

Just made changes including link and additional time zones. Feel free to drop any suggestions on me, and message me if you know of a game that isn't listed. Would you fine people be interested in seeing ESEA intermediate schedules listed as well?
