View Full Version : LetsBeef Seasonal Rankings & Tournaments start Oct 1st 2019!
We are excited to announce that the first ever LetsBeef Seasonal Rankings & Tournaments will start on October 1st 2019! This is the first major change to the way the rankings system works in over 10 years, it is designed to be more competitive and better represent your skills.
Starting October through December, you can participate in the Winter Seasonal Rankings to qualify for the Winter Tournaments which will be Grand Championships with major prizes! (to be announced soon)

More details on the major changes:
1) Seasonal Rankings - we're moving from Monthly & All Time to Seasonal Rankings, that last for 3 month periods. The existing ranks are preserved and visible for historical purposes.
2) Seasonal Tournaments - there will be 4 sanctioned tournaments each year at the end of each season (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall). You must participate in at least 5 battles during the season and rank in the top 64 to qualify. The Winter Seasonal Tournaments are Grand Championships with major prizes (happens in Jan/Feb).
3) Points & Skill Ratings - each season, your first 3 battles are "placement" matches that determine your initial skill rating (hint: GO HARD! :high:). From your 4th battle onwards, an Elo-rating formula (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system) is used to determine your skill rating. Once you have 5 battles or more in a season, you will be ranked with a better representation of your skill.
4) Ranked and Unranked Arenas - the Basic & Exclusive Arenas will be merged and renamed the "Ranked Arena". The "Unranked Arena" will continue to exist for members who don't want to participate in rankings.
Good luck to everyone and hope to see you in the Winter Seasonals and Tournaments!

No they will be preserved and viewable, there is a lot of history there.
Going forward it will be all about the Seasonal Rankings, which will be represented on the site with new visuals.. stay tuned!

For the entire year that I’ve known LB, never did I expect this shit to come up.
This is pretty awesome. I think it'd be a good idea to sort of hide the historic rankings on the profiles. That way people can see them if they want, but it's all about moving forward.

Okay, Okay. I see.
My one downside is that 4 GCs is way too much. You say you want us to go hard in the open battles, but I'm not spitting my best shit Vs Lock if I have to battle him in a tournament within 2 months. The site was completely fine with 2 GCs per year with thousands of members. Combining the GCs with all the extra tournaments being run, plus LBT, if there's no "incentive" there's no reason to battle. You want to push battling for the sake of it and not just for prizes.

Thanks for the feedback, for clarity we've only declared 1 of the 4 tournaments is a GC, the upcoming first Winter tournament. As of now, the Spring, Summer, Fall seasonals next year are tournaments with prizes & titles, but not GC titles.
I'm aware there were 2 GC's in the past, and we may decide to make another tournament a GC, but that has not been decided yet.
Forum tournaments and LBT will continue to be run by mods in parallel, LB supports running multiple tournaments at a time and we will promote them all.

It's not specifically "GC" it's more just the existence of tournaments. There are one or more tournament's every single month. I will qualify for any tournament with 1-2 battles. Why would I waste my good bars when I can snipe one or two guys and use my good stuff in the monthly tournaments?

Seasonal tourneys are every 3 months, not monthly. You need to do minimum 5 battles and rank in top 64 to qualify in the 3 months preceding the tourney.
Someone may not stay in the Top 64 by just doing 5 battles though, the new ranking system is designed to have big movements.

What about the audio arena? @X
Can we have something come up soon?

This is dope. I like the idea of one GC too. Makes it more prestigious. Two GCs wouldn’t be bad,
So 4 tourneys a year , one GC.
8 tourneys and 2 GCs if you count both text and audio...
I can dig it
Can’t wait to see these prizes might actually convince me to battle again

But in the other months there will be scheme, tag, concept etc.
5 battles will most likely, for the time being, keep you in top 64 but lets say 10. I can just snipe 10 new guys over 3 months and save all my decent bars for the monthly tournaments / events.

Consider yourself ranked number #2 on the site instead of #130 or whatever. Start the ranks from seasonal.
There is a small bug in the seasonal rankings, some of the points aren't being awarded correctly. After I track down the bug I will rerank the affected battles... Stand by.

This is fixed
How about fix the fuckery before the cosmetics??? The site literally has hundreds of issues that hold it back that have no need of new additions..need to remove the infections that havr plauged this shit for a decade
