HXSS - isn't it supposed to be a competition?

From the top 3? I was under the impression that it was the top 3 players over all !! Why only the top 3 though? Why not the top 4 that's only fair as they could work just as hard and get more points than the other team but nobody else in the team done anything so their team didn't win.

So basically you believe a winner at the end from all FOUR teams should get at least a throne? As at the moment it's a winner from the top three teams.

Yeah one from each team - I don't see why one team shouldn't get anything - since the person who gets nothing could technically get the most points!

OH right! I see, that's actually a good idea now I know what you mean. It'd make the games fairer but it would still ignore other factors like which team has the biggest addicts so don't think it'll have much use in making hxss a fairer competition in the long term.

as for the prizes im sure they used to be like that (it was during my first year). dunno why that's been changed. i dont think the prizes thing has been worded very well tbh.

A team having the advantage of quality (assuming the addicts are actually good at what they do!) isn't nearly so unfair as having a numerical advantage whereby even in games of absolute luck the probability is tipped massively. A football game of 17 vs 5 would certainly not be sanctioned under any normal fair play rules also yeah not sure how prizes are being allocated, I didn't really pay much attention to that bit haha

Well we did think about the 4th person but what else you would give them just with the throne? As they wouldn't be able to get a trophy as there is only Gold, Silver and Bronze. Unless the 4th gets 1 throne, xx credits and VIP.

Also Scott, it was three people from the top three teams. So say If Red won, the top player in that would get the 1st prize. The team that came second, the top player from that would get 2nd prize and so on.

Well if the 17 were a bunch of fatties and the 5 were professional footballers, I think I'd put my bets on the 5. That was my point lol.

[Richie]

or you could just not have teams and make everyone be against one another, top 3 ppl win prizes. Every year it's the same lol ppl cry and take things to heart about small things, you get djs advertising their team on air, hosts being bias, black people being degraded even more. You can't win lol.

A fat goal keeper? i think the pros would be losing, it'd be like trying to kick a ball through a brick wall or to be more detailed a brick wall made of jelly.

Hmmmmmmm , maybe should have equal teams. I think that would work. I haven't seen last year HxSS but I joined Green Team because I loved the colour green. Mind me :3

[Jordan]

I do like the idea of having an equal number of each team at the start of an events. It is a little ridiculous on the numbers in an event. Hopefully over the next year something can be done for 2012.

[MissAlice]

Surely every team should have a winner! Also every event should begin with equal numbers from each coloured team. Otherwise it is totally unfair.

I will happily donate say 200 credits for a 4th prize if it helps. Although I won't be taking part, I will be supporting the red team

I wonder if Matt would like to address the actual thread issue now that the prize worries seem to be sorted
