SEN's member field is enourmous. I think it would be an awesome idea to make sort of a "SEN League" like iCCup's. This way we can all game together as awesome mappers and we don't have to bother with B.net. This would assure we're all on the same server and we can all game together!
Reply with feedback and possible problems with this idea.
None.
Barely anyone here plays melee, those that do are 90% of the time terrible, and a whopping total of maybe 5 members here can make decent melee maps.
Can't we do a league for UMS players? Or does it really have to be for melee?
None.

How would you have a league for UMS players? It would have to be for a specific map. And no one map has that sort of following.
You could just do like a record for competitive UMS? I don't know I'm throwing the idea out.

The idea has been had before, but due to the vast and infinite differences of different UMS maps, competitive or otherwise, it is not doable.
What if we do it for just a place to bring everyone together and organized? Does it really have to be competitive and have records?
None.
I was under the impression that's what SEN already is.
The member base at the website does not equal the member base at op SEN. Hardly anyone here actually plays SC. I know, it's sad.
None.
To summarize: although unlikely, a Melee and/or UMS League could be formed... but it wouldn't last long.
I'm one of the SENners guilty of rarely playing SC. Woe is me.
None.

It's been done before, a long time ago there was Civil War map league, and currently there is still a League the Starcraft UMS Map Civilization World (Second Season -- Map version currently 7.9.9D) with 930+ ranked members and 230 forum members. The system used involves points for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place results in addition to for various bonuses for stats like most killed, highest resources, best kill ratio, etc. and a bonus for picking the Random Civilization option. The ladder can be played on any server, games are reported by screenshooting overview, units and structures stats pages in addition to Random Civ option. Additionally you can view stats via google spreadsheet or online through the league bot in channel op mggl.

But yea, for the people here I think they should check out the fastest cash melee ladder as that seems to be the skill level we have attracted at SEN as far as melee
. I remember a while backwe had a melee tournament which never finished since the site went down but I was paired against one of the "good" players who turned out to be a multi command hacker (who wasn't that great, our series was at 1-1 before the site crash). Just play in leagues already established for melee, or start your own for UMS or get in one existing. I'd like to start a league for a total conversion sometime as you can do that on b.net if you set it up right. The one that comes to mind is the squad one Starcraft Team Fortress. You can check out blizzard's site for league development kit if your interested in that sort of stuff.
None.
If you want to make a league, you don't need our permission.
General StarCraft is there for you. If it gets big enough, then we can talk about official sanctioning.
I like that idea but it usually takes me a week to properly sort out a map idea, much less my time to slack off and say "Oh I have time!"
Maybe if we extended the deadline it wouldn't be such a bad idea. I like it!
None.
Oh I remember some quite good maps being submitted to the monthly mapping contest. I'd love to see that up again.
