good game micro jumptor but just get ready for the regular season and preseason

[MicroJupiter]

Ya I am, we got a pretty good solid team and a good layout for the 4 of us, we all work at Best Buy so getting in contact with eachother is pretty easy. I have been looking at all the teams from last seasons ladders, kinda getting an idea of what to expect, my only confusion is the points system.It seems the system is based on a "Level," so whoever you play if you win you get a percentage of their points. These points are not kills, but iGames points. So if you play a team that is close in level to you then you get a higher percentage of their points if you beat them. And apparently in the later weeks if your a higher up team then a win is worth almost 400 points, so a win or loss makes or breaks the top 8 teams. So if iGames gives you the shaft and sets you up with a team that is 10 levels apart you only get 5% of their points if you win, compared to the 25% if the team is within 1-2 levels apart.

This may all be possibly for last seasons ladders, the system may change for this season, we'll have to see.

P.S. Ceaser, do you know if teams from last season are eligible for this or no, or if teams that didn't make the top 8 are eligible, just curious?

Microjuiter your have a mod out memory card that is why you  your team won your a cheater

[MicroJupiter]

I sure hope that you were kidding, I didn't see any "lol" or smileys, I don't cheat, my memory card only has my Gamertag on it. But hey, next time I am there and ya see me, challenge me, and I'll play you on any 360, any gamertag, any controller, any TV, and check this out, I'll even let you have host and you can set it all up, then we'll play, it will be completely fair, just don't accuse me of cheating, cause I don't cheat.

Please no accusations of cheating without proof.  Joking or not.

In regards to ranking points, yes they are based on level.  The rank system is the one that will remain in place.  Each week the levels will be assessed.  There is a possability that you can be placed against a team that is considerably lower rank, but that possability exists for all teams.

This gets into statistics, but drawn out across the entire season any level-off matches should be relatively equal for all top teams.  So this is a non-issue.  Each team is encouraged to play as many matches as they can within a night.  If you are playing a team that is ranked lower than you, the match should go quickly, thus more time for more matches.  If you are playing an  equal ranked team, the match should take some time, thus less matches.

I hope this makes some sense, but the ranking system has worked very well for sometime and is being left in place as is.  There were some considerations for some slight alterations to the ranking system, but that will not happen for this season.  These changes may be seen the next season as there is a new application is being wrote for the ranking tracking.  I am not sure what the release date is for the new system.

Thanks for the update Ceaser, still wondering if you know if Teams from last season are eligible?

[SoulCast]

I cant wait for Pre season and Regular Season, Good  Luck to everyone! Secondly there isnt enough Credit given to W1ND MAN and Captin Jack, Which with out them i dont know if we would have done as well....

[Caesar]

I have not read any rules regarding eligibility for consecutive seasons. 

[MicroJupiter]

Thanks Ceasar, and backing Soul up, I completely agree, without W1ndman and Captain Jack we probably wouldn't have done nearly as well as we did.

I am sorry micro

but micro looks like a WoW/Halo 3 geek that works at best buy

[MicroJupiter]

I play WoW like once every 3 months, but I have glasses, probably wearing a Halo orientated shirt or Hoody, and will be playing under the name MicroJupiter.
