Tier 3 would be newcomers, and general rookies.

How would you move up? Simply be the top rapper in your current tier, then challenge the bottom rapper in the above tier. Rapper that loses stays (If in worse tier) or moves down (if in better tier) and vice versa for rapper who wins.

Only problem anyone could point out with this system would be only two people going up / moving down between two tiers, not allowing other battlers to move up or go down, and therefore battling each other constantly. Simple solution. When a person moves up a tier they become 2nd last on the list, knocking the previous 2nd last down to last place. Same thing with the 1st, if he loses to the last in the other division he moves down 3 spots.

Think of it like UFC Top 15 / Top Contender.

MMA places perfected this system, and also perfected the next system i'll talk about.

Cards. Every important month (March/Easter, June Summer, October/Halloween, December/End of Year) put a main card. Have people on the site vote for which battles they want on the card. If everyone agrees to it the card goes. Have them rank their choices too, so that you can create a main event (dual main event), main card and undercard.

Also include some "mixweight" battles, think 1 of each of these: Tier 1 top battler vs Tier 3 Top Battler, Concept battle, Tag Team Battle, Topical Battle, Card Cypher (Solo or group drop).

Just an idea and it would take effort both on the community and the staff, but I believe this is something to work towards.

Having a free-structured site like we currently do just doesn't work, it should be structured and orderly. Still can keep this section for practice battles, but for an actual organized battle rap site, we should've had this from the start.



Another problem with the lack of engagement is the fact there is literally not any advertising for the site. I understand there's literally no funding either, but if active champions donate to the site and other battlers as well, we can get some people on here.

As much as we hate to have it, more ads is the only other way we can get revenue without donations

The PPV Cards idea has been implemented with the LBA, LBT and THC competitions. All of them are effectively dead in the water at the moment because nobody shows up to compete. The unstructured nature of the basic arena serves to give people the freedom to battle on the few occasions they actually give a shit, although I think it would be a good idea to set up some kind of league for the rookies and newer guys.
