Bonus Ladder Points vs Ribbon Awards System Poll

[Compass Rose]

The Blitz is in the process of considering a new or modified rewards program for our members.

Currently, per the Blitz Rules of Engagement (ROE) #3 "...Blitz members are rewarded with ladder points for playing, whether they win, lose, or draw. A player can also be awarded bonus ladder points for additional activity at the club (i.e. H2H testing, writing a book review etc…).........etc."

With the current rewards system, points are awarded to members who help volunteer their time and services to the club and these points are added to their total PBEM ladder points, which at the end of each calendar year resets back to zero.

The new proposed Ribbon Rewards System would be awarded in place of the current Bonus Ladder Point System.

Here is an example of the ribbons that would be used.



The ribbons would be awarded in the same manner that the current bonus points system is awarded however, the ribbons will be displayed permanently in a members' profile as long as they are a member at the Blitz.

One ribbon will be awarded with up to four battle stars, which would actually stand for five battle ribbons. After the 4th battle star is awarded, the next time a member is to be awarded the same ribbon again, they would then be issued a new ribbon and the process would repeat itself.

Here is an example of what the battle star ribbons look like.










We would like to know which system would you like to see the Blitz use?

The poll options are:

1. I would prefer to see the Blitz keep and use the currently-in-place Bonus Ladder Points system.
   
2. I would like to see the Blitz adopt the new Ribbon Awards System and do away with the Rewards Point System.
   
3. I would like to see a combination of a Bonus Ladder Points and the Ribbon Awards System used together.
   

Please vote for one of these options in the poll displayed at the very top of this thread. Each member will be allowed to vote for one option.
