Firstly it's important to state we're not trying to duplicate anything currently in existence, we see ourselves as very complementary to the IV forums. We started when a small group of regular matchplayers wanted to record their scores somewhere.
www.defconmatch.com is designed to:
- Offer somewhere for people to record and view their scores;
- Facilitate regular matchplay amongst Defcon players;
- Give a method of scheduling and organising those games;
- Enable players to compare and contrast themselves with other players.
Right now, the site is up and we have some of those features in place. For example, we offer a 6 player mini-league format. Currently we're in the final stages of developing the player view module:
Ranked matches will count to your league scores and unranked matches don't count - but they are there for pride!
We're hoping to have this in place over the next few week or so depending on how much time can be focussed on the development! It's currently in limited testing.
Broad feature list:
- Interactive screenshot gallery;
- Calendering of matches;
- Mini-leagues;
- Matchplay forum;
- Nukipedia - a start at a Defcon wiki
- Interactive chat (to help you get connected to the host)
We're looking to hear from individuals or groups of regular players who'd like to use these sort of facilities. The site is continuing to evolve - it's only been up for a week now and the remaining features are being rolled in as fast as we can get them developed.
Thanks for reading, I hope you find the time to pop over and see us, looking forward to some quality Defcon matchplay!
