Blitz Ladders

RE: Blitz Ladders
Koen;

Scenarios tested through H2H should result in a good amount of points going to each player in the play test (50pts I think?, check with your Ladder Commander or H2H Coordinator). This compensates the testers for their time commitment in a no risk situation; both players score the points no matter how unbalanced the scenario may be and they can't be reported on the ladder.

As for the designers, well truly there is no way to ever compensate them on the ladder in a way that would be meaningful and fairly represent the amount of work they put into their design efforts. The Ladder Commanders would have to give you 1000 points for a design and even that wouldn't really equal the effort. So, you should receive a token amount, just to say thank you, but we also realize that designers do what they do out of a love for it. As opposed to the play testers, who generally like playing and get points because they are taking away time from doing what they want to do, to help the designers.

It may not be perfect , but that's the Blitz philosophy on the subject anyway. There are many ways to be members of a community, and although the majority of points are awarded for playing there is nothing that says you can not help climb a ladder by being a top notch play tester....or writing a lot of articles for the community, which also earns you points.

Anyway...if there's ways to help and encourage designers and play testers that you think would help, please suggest them to your Ladder Commanders, of through the H2H Coordinator and we'll gladly consider them.
