OneDayCups.... srsly

They really drives me mad! Not the fact that everybody can set up a cuppage and post a news here, but:

1. For gods sake, there are HTML Markup Tags.... Is it that hard to use them? I mean c'mon, although we are talking about 1 day cup, it shouldnt be that hard to design the news in a proper way (use bold font for important infos or give infos about previous winners etc etc). I saw news which havent even a url tag for the sign ups...

2. Be prepared to sit infront of your PC for atleast a few hours and just take care of the cup u are running. I mean, wtf, there were cups the admin wasnt reachable 10 mins before cups should have started and so on and so on....

3. That is only my opinion, never play a cup urself if u are admin! You are the admin and you have to take care about the cup (noshows, discussions about cheat-thingys and stuff). I can imagine that its a great seduction to play at your own cup, but srsly, a cup doesnt run on his own.

4. One f**** 1DayCup should be enough every week! Go get some RL instead of making every second day a cup!

4. Haha, my last point (HI TOSSPOT): even if english isnt the native language for most of us, shouldnt we expect at least a proper english? There are many websites providing dictionaries and stuff..... Shouldnt be that hard, to read the (crossfire/cuppage-) news a couple of times before posting them :x

All in all, although i am talking about 1Day cups, i expect a little bit more professionalism at all. Otherwise we will see more and more flaming journals about retarted admins and so on.

make a formula and every cup organizer will edit it for their needs, and don't whine or make the cups yourself :D

Parent
2 teams signed up so far xD
Parent
:D

unexpected
Parent
6on6 sucks, we need 3on3
Parent
3rd one is the reason to make a cup.
But if you won you can add pocal!

Pocal is the best thing what I know @ ET :)
couldn't agree more.

I rarely even look at the Other News because it's just populated with ridiculously poor excuses for "news posts" ¬.¬
+1 (Do something about it, maybe just another box below the gtv games for cups only)
Parent
a proper setup is coming. Although not sure if it'll move them all out of other news as I'm guessing cup holders will still want a post created there for exposure :/
Parent
Yea, but random one day cups should be treated differenty than larger cups with prizes for example. Those Cups of course deserve coverage but as madi mentioned, those simple list of cup infos without any banner and written text should be removed from news, as those "announcements" are not even news. It would be enough to list them in a calender or something like that.
Parent
totally disagree!

no need for a news to expose their cup!
Parent
Nuked :v

That was my understanding ! You've been quiet :( that was my impression from the email :p as always, bow to the greater knowledge !
Parent
it was an actual question lol I checked the ftp this morning, no changes since 12th of this month, logged in and seemed the same (obviously)... I'm not sure where it's supposed to go next?
Parent
My impression was it was done & just needed adding / implementing into the site.
Parent
Sticky imo
You volunteering to update it?
Parent
good rant

just as a hint :>
Most of the coldfire cups are running well
there's always some mistakes tho (atleast by me)
I agree only with the 2nd and 3rd one...I don't care about others cos i like playing the cups :o
I will travel across the land
searching far and wide
Each pokemon to understand
the power that's inside

Pokemon! its you and me
I know its my destiny,
Pokemon! Oh you're my best friend
in a world we must defend
Pokemon! a heart so true
Our courage will pull us through,

You teach me and I'll teach you,
Pokemon! gotto catch'em all

Every challenge allong the way
with courage I will face.
I will battle every day
to claim my rightful place.
Come with me,
the time is right,
there's no better team.
Arm in arm we'll win the fight!
It's always been our dream!
