New Poll: UKT P2P Competition?

Posted by Dev at 21:45 17/8/2003.

From our last poll we have found out that 30% of you believe that CS:CZ will still sell pretty well despite its recent bad reviews, and that 17% of you don't think it will even leave the shelves. The new poll focuses on what you would want to see from us if we were to provide a pay to play competition for the UK CS community. Your opinion is important to us so please vote carefully.

As well as this UKT is proud to announce its clan page is now semi-operational. There are still features to go in which is why there's no link to it from the front page of the site, however if you notice your clan isn't up there go ahead and add it. Once your clan has been approved you pick it from the list on your edit profile page.

Happy voting.

pay to play is the way forward for now, pay to play and then get the commited teams involved to give the league some credibility [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Open Cup format - £5 per clan

As in ClanBase opencup, group stages then onto knock outs? or the whole thing knock outs? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i'd rather not pay the UKT news posters for posting news i can get on gotFrag thanks.

also, this sort of thing will make cs end up like DAOC...good idea at first..then when the free trial runs out, everyone takes it back for a refund..

Paying for CS is possibly the worst idea ever [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Do you not agree that paying for CS means the clans taking part will take it more seriously? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Keep your hair on Rhyzz, you're not paying to view the site you'd pay to enter the league. Not exactly a new concept.

Atemi: pm me the details of what needs changing and I'll sort it. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Pay to play is inevitable people, and UKT have a good reputation/name so go with the flow! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

paul its different, paying to play in a league to get a good reputation, people will still be able to play cs for free, just adding a nominal fee to enter a league would be a great idea. BW nearly managed it but i think UKT can attract more top teams into it than BW [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

opencup style 5 quid per clan, then make the finals happen in the UKT Lan events :) or you could make a seperate event for the final few clans and use the money to help fund this 'lan' :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

but alpha where would the money go? :)

dont tell me you wouldnt pocket some of it, cos i know i would.

also, i still think, and will always think, paying for something you have already paid for (or stole from your friend) is daft, noone liked it in DAOC or planetside, so unless UKT can provide some nice nice prizes, i think ill hang on to the cash. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

lots of leagues already use pay2play rhyzz? I dont see ur point - so what if they pocket some of it - the are putting the time into running it.

Also if there are prizes (would expect so in a p2p league/cup) then they need to be bought [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

arsen to answer your Q on behalf of Rhyzz, means no, if its £5 per clan, it wont matter, if its £20 per clan, £4 isnt much loss either, BWCSL has drop outs, and that was £60 for a year :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

The money would go directly back into UKTerrorist, into making it a better site. Improving areas that need improving and expanding to continue to make us the UKs number 1 CS related news site.

It is just a poll, I was interested in knowing what the feedback would be like from you lot. Happy voting. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
