I think this is a fairer short term measure for now which is good.

In the long term - I feel it would be good to work towards a comprehensive SEA ranking system that integrates all the tournaments in SEA. With points awarded based on the prize pool / significance of the event. WCS, IEM, ACLs, as well as the smaller ones like wT, CityHunter, GPDs etc.

So it could start off first being a very simple database that captures the points and placings of users. Over time, it could evolve into something like TLPD with detailed matches and rankings for players, clans and pro-teams. Making clan wars even more fun. I.e players individual ELOs can affects clan ratings too. So for clans there are two ratings - Clan ELO (clan wars) and Clan Avg player ELO.

So for a start the simple database can just be used to capture what Eddie suggests, but also rewards placings in

• WCS
• IEM Qualifiers
• MLG Qualifiers
• NASL Qualifiers
• ACL Qualifiers
• Masters Cups
• wT Weeklies
• Any other regular / decent tournament

And it will be up to those tournaments to take those rankings into account when deciding seedings. Well its the first step towards more integration and encouraging participation in grass root tournaments and clan wars. The ultimate goal is to develop a universal SEA system that creates accurate seedings for tournaments, based on tournament results as well as provide a competitive universal ranking SEA ladder which everyone can observe.

While the coding is being managed we could work out rough point values for each tournament!
