TCL Week 4 Schedule

[Entr0py]

Sunday, May 6th
Match 1: 18 GMT
Match 2: 19 GMT

So far, showups seem to be hard to come by for 18 GMT. If next week is bad again, we may switch the matches to 19 and 20 GMT. Thoughts on this?

Current standings and results:

Remember, the top 4 squads advance to the finals, so the league is NOT over even despite Super's giant lead.

20 GMT is just very very late, especially for the Finns here in summer time....

In the version of this league I did in another zone we had a system where points acquired in the finals match(s) were worth 3 times regular season points. This would mean regular season points weren't worthless.


....but then that league was much more competitive than DSB's version.

Yep, you'll lose most Finns if you change it to 20GMT, including me.
Even this sounds a bit weird, but I would probably not show up for
the 19GMT match either, if the matches were at 19 and 20.

And now, when it's 18 and 19 I have been there for both.
Here I can't really speak for others though... Somehow, for me, starting
at 19GMT just sounds too late.

Okay, 20 GMT is out.

Any other ideas to improve showups?

try League of Legends as minigame between halves ?

I don't know if you've done this already, but to solve the problem we first need to identify the problem.
I suggest we start doing that by comparing how many of the players that show up are different from
the previous weeks or are they always the same players that show up? So, first, is the player base big
or small?

I don't have the time to dig up the information this week. If someone bothers to get all those numbers.
(Excel would be best) I could try to suggest something or help in recognising the problem. Coincidentally,
I'm currently taking a data analysis course.

Hah, well we don't have any data on overall players who show (including speccers), but we do have data on the players who actually play. I don't have time to put these into excel right now, but here are the scoresheets from every match played this league so far. Maybe this gives an indication of who actually plays:

I meant the people who play.. so these stats are ok. But I knew they were there,
I just wanted someone to put those into some sort of an excel file for me.
Perhaps I can put that into Excel format but that'll probably be during weekend or then next
week because I'm also way too busy right now.

Edit: Then if we cannot get this number currently, code a bot that does it. Number of total
different nicks or even better IPs that have played in a week, or two weeks or a month.
Preferably all of those. We want to know how many different people actually login to DSB.

Next, we might want to know how many of the people who login play league. And also the
number of players that used to play league.

Hell,

I can write a script on the website that could pull that data.

What metrics, specifically, do you need?
