Honestly, I wouldn’t mind a five dollar entry fee, however I don’t think everyone can afford it…I think a dollar fee would be great. And being able to set side bets on yourself would be kinda cool too.
Or a fifty cent entry fee, I mean it’s not about doing it big, IMO it’s about being able to play with the pressure.
I think we should do what demarcus said, and make a spread sheet based on our win:lose ratio based one another. Even then though, if you were to miss out, you’d still be kinda SOL. Unless we could come up with a way of having those who missed out on official internet battle. So lets just say we do it Demarcus’ way (and if we don’t we might get thrown through a wall), and someone misses the ranbat, the would still be able to do a few make up battles via online.
So the person who misses the ranbat would be able to setup a time and date with their other opponents to play 2/3 rounds, for their standing to the ranbat. However it has to be confirmed by the two players (so to help with cheating), then updated via our forum on SRK or myspace or whatever.
And by the end of the ranbat, we can see where we’re weaker and have the ability to get better. So lets say I lose to pat every time for the ranbat, then pat and I would schedule a time, and see how things are going with me. In order for us to get better we have to explain our weakness to everyone else. For instance, most matches I’ll tell people that I’m free on tick throw’s, because I want them to exploit that, so i can learn. I also tell people to be careful of my meaty cr. fwd to headbutt, because I want people to be able to counter it, so it will force me to try new things.
It’s always good to have internal rivalries, hell I recommend it, but if you don’t put out your strength’s and weaknesses out there, you’ll never get the WHOLE group to improve.
Also for this ranbat season, I think we need to be FIRM, on ranbat dates, and winner stays the same character, and people please stop doing casuals inbetween matches cause it slows down the ranbat!
I’d be surprised if anyone read this entire thing ha ha
