Some measures to prevent point farming should be taken, rules upon entry like posts would ensure that people don't make new accounts to battle. In addition, take for example sign up take about 2 days. After that 2 days, 1 day is dedicated to the mod in charge to pair every1 up randomly.
At at the end of the month, the member with the most wins (1 win = 1 point) would be given prizes, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. if you want, a cool down rule could even be set in place that limits prizes to members that win over and over or something.
during this competition, after the sign ups, both members will agree on a due date. The earlier the due date, the more time u can get to fight another person. Take this for example:
x vs y due November 15. X wins. Y loses. X vs k November 19. X wins Y vs z November 21. Y wins. Etc.
the more fights u can get, the higher the chances that u can get more points.
Since both members are agreeing in a due date, this prevents people from half assing, since they don't know how good the other members entry might be. But this also makes people make things faster, increasing activity.
*if both members finish before time, they can open the voting.
We can even make it more complex, members can battle each other simultaneously. X vs y nov 15 x vs k nov 16. Or whatever.
**if a member does not submit, it's an automatic win for the other.
***members cannot battle each other over and over, a cool down rule should be implemeted: you cannot battle the same person twice in a row. After 3 battles, you may fight that person again.
**** a list of available members waiting for battle should be created. After a member has finished a battle, they can pick someone on the list or, if no1 is on there, put themselves up there and wait for someone. If a member has been sitting on that list for too long, the mod will randomly pair them up. There's no time for rest, this is war!
***** after the first battle! where every1 is paired randomly, the next battles are by choice. However, if u are challenged, u cannot refuse! In addition, the challenger, as u win more and more, ur notoriety increases, ur only allowed to challenge other members with wins! (Near the same notoriety) this deals with the beginner advanced stuff u all so worried about.
******voting is by members, 150+ Posts or something. Or if the sc staff wants to do it, idc.
*******final note!! This takes a lot of preparation and moderating, it's fairly complex, but the ability of the moderator to keep everything organized and smooth is essential!
