Live Tournaments

[Swish]

In the future, we would like to arrange tournaments for the website, they will be held on different games, so you can join all of them, or just the ones that you play.

The idea, is to have a sort of currency on the forums, they increase by 1 everytime you post, increase by 2 when you start a new thread, increase by 5 when you refer someone to the site, increase by 100 if you buy a game via the website etc.

We will hold two types of tournaments, one will be a completely free tournament, which you can partake in. If you win any cups or win a league system etc, you will receive some Monster Coins, so to speak. Perhaps 100 or so.

Once you have a certain number of monster coins, lets say, 2,500+, you will be able to exchange them for games/accessories maybe collect enough and you'll get a console or something :p

We will also add 20 coins for those who submit articles, help with cheats, screenshots etc and general news items. So whilst helping the site out, you'll be able to save up for a game.

The 2nd type of tournament, would be a pay to enter tournament. This will be done using paypal, via the subscription form on the site. It will most likely be 1 Euro or equivelant to join a tournament. The bonus, is that the winner takes home a prize, such as a game. Depending on more people entering, we'll hand out 2nd and 3rd prizes. And if it becomes popular, the prizes could be as large as Widescreen TV's or other technological stuff.

I want to find out how many people would be interested, so please use the Poll above.


Thanks,
Admin

Both definately - great ides mate ;)

[Swish]

If the site makes enough dosh, we'll set up an event every year, where by all the members can come down to a big hall or something, all bring the Xbox 360's and we'll have massive tournaments :D

[Nick]

I am liking some kind of program that should be built so we can have league tables etc :)

[Sevrin]

I really like the 1st idea, it's a neat idea :)

[Spark Fx]

Im in for both =)

[Jason]

I'm all for both. One euro isn't that bad either, but you might want to raise that to maybe 5 for the first few tournaments. Then, as they grow more popular and more people join, lower it gradually.

[Ryan]

I'd probably be up for both 1 euro wont dent the wallet :D

[DONK]

I like the paying idea if it means we can win prizes :D

[Domfunkle]

I like the whole monster currency thingy. Reminds me of xbox.net. They have the exact same principles, where you earn currency for posting or whatever and you can trade in that currency for a game, or accessory, or subscription to a magazine or whatever...

I think we (or I) wanted to have the same thing on 360sector, but...yeah..

[SNK]

Hey Steve... amazing man... count me in if I got the game in question! I'll even pay you a little extra just for fun! Nah, kidding, I just pre-ordered the XBOX360 Premium package, got like 6 bucks left on my account and no food in the freezer!

[blackhawk]

great idea. i like both of them. the currency thing is interesting :D
:cool:

[Strifewind]

They are both exremely great and well thought-out ideas. I support them 100%.

[Moria]

Can I change my vote please? I've got a nasty habit of voting before reading the post... I would pay a Euro to enter a tournament.

[Chris B]

Nice ideas guys, I like the idea of user points for getting involved, that means I would already have bonus points for reffering Moria! :)

[THe Annhilater]

i like the currency idea also

[AxlRoseMKII]

i like the idea for gaining points for taking part in the forum, tis a reli good idea, but then people would just spam to gain points and would ruin all the fun.

[WACCOE]

Yeah, that isn't a bad point actually. :unsure:

[AxlRoseMKII]

i know it isnt a bad point because as i tell my friends at school i am always right :D

[ebr]

Both, but I voted free befoer I rad ... :(

[AfroJoe]

Same as above. :)

[Swish]

Anyone else have an opinion on this? :)

[AxlRoseMKII]

well like i said its a good idea but if people gain points for posting then people would most likely spam the forums to gain loads of points, other than that it sounds good

[Dcontrol]

The free one sounds good to me. It would be nice to have tournaments and you get I don't know a little virtual trophy then :D if you win of course.

[csosquared]

I would pay for any tourney. As long as the price won't exceed lets say $25

[Killer 57]

What time would the tournaments be? do to the massive time zone differnce (at least for me) I think we should find a convinient time for the tournaments to be on.

[Killer 57]

So when will you guys start these tournaments?

[RiLu@]

we could have two diferent times like in the morning in the US and then turn it around and the same here in europe

[Phobos]

I just registered for this site, and I must say I'm very impressed. This is a really good idea. A lot of the big 360 games are not getting as many tournaments as they should be, and this is a great way to help in that department. I'm all for it, and I'll tell all my friends about it.

I think the points idea for posting and submitting info would be a really good idea to bring the site to the next level. To keep down the spamming, you could subtract people's points if they get in a flame war or use bad language etc.

[backin-strachan]

Good too see you enjoy the site and we hope you are a regular(Y) Remember to tell your friends to join and I hope to play you soon

[RiLu@]

welcome phobos and a monster!!!

[WACCOE]

Welcome to the site Phobos! (Y)

[Tobes]

Right, Monsters.

We need more Monsters. That's all I will say. So I think you all know what to do?

[backin-strachan]

Yeah I know what to do but whatever I do isnt workin but yeah...I know I ll try harder and hope to play you ASAP(Y)

[Tobes]

I kinda ment go spread the word about 360monster. That way we can get loads of people and get a tourny going like Swish said :)

[rydo-uk]

i would pay to play ...

[AfroJoe]

Yo, Tob3z and Rydo, you two in next week for the PDZ meeting?

3 names so far. I'm going to make a definitive list this time so I can send PMs to people kindly (haha) reminding them when to get online.

[Tobes]

ah eyh. Sry forgot to reply. Yeh put me down... thats if you can tear me away from Full Auto.

[WACCOE]

Im sure we can prize you away from it for an hour or so. ;)

[TURTLE ZED]

Right, hi guys, this is my first ever post after finding this site, but I would be keen to play in free comps, and pay to play comps. My overall favourite though, would be the pay to play comps with prizes and such.

[AK.]

both of them, sounds like an awesome idea

[Hammy24]

yea this sounds like a great idea

am already in some other leagues and tournaments and they are great fun

[Killer 57]

Tournaments, not many have been done succesfully. I might give it shot.

[tis rate sik]

great idea im in

[paytoplay]

Can I change my vote please? I've got a nasty habit of voting before reading the post... I would pay a Euro to enter a tournament.


LOL, Same here!

[paytoplay]

yea this sounds like a great idea

am already in some other leagues and tournaments and they are great fun

Can you tell us about them please, how to join and that. I cant get a game on pro 5 for some bloody reason!!??

[phatmuther]

for pes stuff you should talk to afrojoe, he seems to be the man with the knowledge (Y)

[WACCOE]

Lol, it is pretty hard to get a game, it takes time to try and get one. Either get someone on your friends list to play you (easiest), or keep going Quick Match, and hope they accept your invite. ;)

[gordmiester]

(Y) excellent idea, massive tournaments, be good to have graded tournie's as well so people might still have a chance of winning if even your not a pro.

[trustory]

count me in for both when can we expect the first tourney based on these schemes to start end of the year, autumn.??

[Bigcon100]

seen as the currency thing is dead, i guess teh pay-2-play tourney is too

[AfroJoe]

Why did you bump a topic which received its last post in June?

[Headshot]

iam calling u Coneronerbumpertxtspkr from now on- lol
