Hi! I've recently been looking to hone my skills in .NET Web Application development and decided to make a gaming ladder system. One of the main reasons behind this was the death of JKA on ESL. Whilst ESL offered many competitive possibilities, including cups and limited ladders - it always seemed a bit flawed and too strict. I created it mainly for another game, and to help a friend build his community in another game. However I made it in a way, I could add many games, many ladders - and it's ever growing! For those who played on ESL, the ladder system will seem very similar with Elo, Awards, Guestbooks and more. For those who haven't played JKA competitively, Our ladders are structured like so;
Users can create and join teams which they may then enter into a ladder(s) of their choice.
Each team starts on 1000 points, gaining and losing points depending on whom they win/lose against.
This approach uses a loose Elo model, so winning against a top ranked team warrants more points than a lower ranked team.The JKA section is already thriving and is a lot more active than ESL was for years. Over 125 users are registered and using the site daily! (Not all JKA admittedly). I'm posting for those really not aware this exists, but also for feedback and new opportunities! We're already in contact with a lot of JK2ers to see if they would use a ladder, and help their community too. Thanks for taking the time to read this post. Link: http://www.UltimateGaming.co
