I have a plan that I believe could make the game better and is within our capabilities.  This plan would try to address two problems, game population and quality of play.  

 

My idea is to start a tier 5 recreational play league, that will teach our newer players the mechanics and strategy of the game.  Each team would need a volunteer coach.  Players with a blue  or purple WN8,.with good people skills and a desire and ability to coach would be the first and most critical volunteer positions.  

 

My marketing plan for this league would be to find another group of volunteers to play low tier matches and broadcast a very short message at the start of every game highlighting a common issue new players have understanding the game, an invitation to the recreation league and where to go for more information.  

 

As.an example,.tired of being killed by tanks you don't see? Contact any WOTHELP clan member to learn about spotting mechanics and also for information about a new recreational league, coached by top players who want to help you get better and have more fun.  You can also find more information at ( forum web address.  

 

There would be an initial training and practice sessions with the coaches where they can teach mechanics and tactics, ie hull down, side scraping, maps and map awareness.  This would be held in practice rooms. Scrimmages during this period can also be arranged.  Then turn them loose to play real games against the other teams, culminating in a playoff and championship.  

 

This is a fingernail sketch of the idea.  Halopro and Proflex each have encouraged this thread and have agreed to help.  To make this work we need more people onboard.  Please let me know if you are willing to be a part of this effort.  

 

Halo and Proflex, you better get into this thread and support the idea.

Tier 5 is not a good place right now. Too much broken OP garbage driving around.

Sounds great to me. I've mentored a few players and those who are eager to learn go on to become great players alot of the time. I wouldn't be up for joining a different clan, but an xbox group would be ok.

That's wot in general tbf. Teaching people how to efficiently deal with those tanks is worth while though.

Sure my answer to that is to control.the tanks allowed to be used with league rules.  We do need to make sure the playing field is level.

I did not think about this, but I see no reason coaches would have to change clans.  I think it is the ambassadors that would need to display the clan tag.

I am sure PCP could put together a group to act as an opposing force. It would be great to help newer players work on skills and we all could use practice.

Agreed.  However the starting league should be a place of balance.  As it grows we can add additional divisions.

Is PCP a  current clan? Current clans could also use these leagues as recruitment tools for new players if they have a coach volunteer.

Hey, if anyone will copy and paste this in the Bunker forum, I would appreciate it.

TanksForNothing had an idea like this awhile back. You should also reach out to him. I’m also willing to help I know there are better players than me but I’m willing to help out if needed. This could be a great thing if it can get enough people behind it

I first floated.the idea a couple of years ago and it never gained traction.  Obviously all the help we can get is good.

Rest, can I add you with Halo as a coach?

Daily players, 80 members at all skill levels. Heck we even hosted Rai during a couple of our clan game nights.

Could you network within the clan to help find Volunteers?

Can anyone contact Pontiac Pat to see if there can be a liaison assigned to communicate this idea to the current clans? As I mentioned this league could be a great segue to the clans.
