Journals
First of all, I would like to say that this journal reflects my personal opinions and not those of Crossfire, even though I am admin here.
So, our mighty clan
The Killer Bunnies, signed up for the CoD4 S&D promod OpenCup, in good time aswell. However, now that the groups has been published in both Division 1 and 2, we are not to be found anywhere.
I suspect that the supervisor(s) for Division 2 has made a mistake while being lazy. In the best Peter Falk manner, I hereby give you the list of evidence:
*UPDATE*
I just read a reply by an admin, on a news post, which states:
"I'll tell you what guys, please have the cl or wa from each clan that hasn't been accpeted pm me with clanname and cid. That way I can easily replace any clan that is inactive or need replacing for some other reason. However this does NOT mean that every clan pming me gets in, but I will of course do my best to have only active clans in this OC and not inactive or clans with just 1 or 2 members......so pm me asap!"

In the best Peter Falk manner, I hereby give you the list of evidence:
- The teams in Division 2 are almost placed in the groups alphabetic, there is atleast a nice tendency in most groups; this leads to my next exhibit.
- The alphabeting listing only goes on to clans starting with S, which would leave out TKB.

good job clownbase!
that's from clanbase. just incase you might've understood me wrong, im talking about 2vs2 S&D Pro, didn't see that before i signed up for it with my mate, so we got rejected.
The rules, maplist and groups all show that this was done fast and without much thought.
On top of this, some of their admins have shown they behave like kids.
Thats kinda a stereotype for every admin. Whether it be a server, a gaming site or something else! There's only a few people out there who make a good admin.
When I was supervisor, when RTCW.no just switched to WL.com, I checked all teams, their websites, and also if they had CB results, in order to place them in the groups. If I remember correctly there were about 350 clans, so it is not impossible.
but that doesnt work out for cod4, since the scene is not devided into real "skill groups" - a ranking like low+ / med / med+ is hardly possible in my eyes.
According to the admins, the groups are created using a script given certain parameters. Now, either those parameters were wrong, or the script sucks. In either case, a very quick glance at the groups shows there's something very wrong.
It wouldn't be hard to set up groups manually better than the script.
Besides, it's quite easy to roughly determine the "skill" levels.
can't imagine a script which could select teams by some given parameters as good as an admin with knowledge about the teams/scene.
but anyways, i could hardly experience any differences playing against med+ or high teams, sometimes even med teams were stronger - might be possible to spot little skill variations, but it's way harder than in any other game i tried before.
btw what's the difference between division 1 and 2? Is premier league in division 2 equal in skill to premier in division 1?
and what a joke with the alphabetically placed teams
Another Q - why all groups made by same country teams?? wtf 4-5 or even 6 (all group) finnish, polaks, sweden team in 1 group?? I want to play with teams from another country that i didnt meet or played before, not with teams from my own country that i played vs like 347365 times!!
Plz ... Admins to Lazy to make normal groups or wat?
