Talk:Tournament

General talk

Do you think that we should use the name of the teams/players that were actually used in the respective tournament or the name that is most known? It becomes complicated when an ESL team changed the name and the players while it's actually the "same" ESL-team (e.g. xeTox->aXiom->WSH or aXiom->JK) --Balthor (talk) 11:21, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Good question. As you can see, I just picked the name that they are most well known by, so it's zentur1o the entire time and not EviLWindu, anemic etc. But we should be careful, since axiom and JK are different, even though they're technically the same team on the ESL that merely renamed. In those cases, we should go for the names they actually used in the tournament, which you can find by comparing the date of the tournament to the history log of the team, since the tournament page always gives the current name and the history log has all the correct details. So your change of axiom to WSH for the Winter Games is correct, for example, but corona vs bioxar is right for this one: http://www.esl.eu/de/jkja/tdm/openingcup/match/5021535/ even if the page says BHK vs sA or something, and xetox is right for #1 on this one http://www.esl.eu/eu/jkja/tdm/tdmeaster07/rankings/ since they were called xetox at that time (04.07) if you check the team logs. --Masta (talk) 11:39, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

I think we need to change some formating as the sorting in the table is completely broken (try to sort for date or cup size). --Balthor (talk) 11:43, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Yeah it doesn't work very well for sorting according to date, but they are sorted by date by default, so f5 solves that; we could put the year and then the month after the year like 2005.10 to fix it, but that's quite a bit of work for something that f5 can do just well enough. The sorting by cup size sucks indeed and I don't even know how we'd go about fixing that. It does sort them by proximity (all 4 size cups together, all 8 size cups etc etc) but it is a mess. Sorting by winners works really well though and that's what I really like about it. So yeah, any ideas for cup size? --Masta (talk) 12:45, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

I guess 008, 064 etc would look stupid but that's the only I can come up with atm --Balthor (talk) 13:19, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Applied the changes. See how that works for you now. --Masta (talk) 20:05, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Good job, looks nice --Balthor (talk) 11:32, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Tray for adding the Russian tournaments there, but all the links to vk.com do not provide us with brackets at all (e.g. https://vk.com/basejk?w=wall-87507889_61 ); for the tournament links, only post brackets please. --Masta (talk) 03:39, 18 September 2016 (CEST)

In case of broken links

We saved all of the tournaments as images. If a link is not working anymore, please make a comment. --Balthor (talk) 14:36, 2 March 2016 (CET)

Todo/Ideas

• Some players or teams don't have the right country flags
• Make a list of top players. Like who won the most cups or reached top3
• Show (money-)prices if there were some
• Link to demos/screenshots
• More JK2 tournaments

--Balthor (talk) 12:58, 23 July 2016 (CEST)

We gotta fix their country flags, definitely. As for the list of top players, one of the reasons why I like this table format is because it allows you to sort according to winners, which gives you easy access to how many people won how many tournaments. However, if we want to make it even more explicit, maybe an article (as a news post, not on the wiki) on tournament victories might be a good idea.

For money prices, I think there were only 2 tournaments that had those, i.e. the basejka ones from 2013 or so. They are a bit of an exception to anything else that has come before or after (except for the heavily priced tournaments in the first few months of jka's release and the jk2 tournaments, but we'd need sources on the price money to verify all of that). Would be hard to implement too.

The rest are excellent ideas. The demos/screens sound like a good idea for the demos archive that never came and never will come. There could be a section just for that: tournament demos etc.

--Masta (talk) 13:35, 23 July 2016 (CEST)

It would be great if there was a way to generate a top-list automatically based on the information in the table. But dunno if that's possible. Maybe we can list money prices separately if we find enough cups which had that. Can you request a subpage of jkhub to host demos? Like demos.jkhub.org or so. That would make this kinda easy. --Balthor (talk) 16:09, 23 July 2016 (CEST)
