The current plan for matchmaking is chat channels. There is a NTBL chat channel right now, and as this becomes popular, the idea is to have chat channels for each ranking, NTBL-D, NTBL-D+ etc.
Oh yeah, I kinda forgot chat channels existed  It took them so long to implement them when they finally came out I was used to not having them.
Well, if that's the case all that needs to happen is for the AI issue to be fixed. Once that happens, I'll play for sure!

I changed it so AI players are treated as Rank E

Sounds really cool, I hope this catches on 
You should try doing a tournament revolving around this to gain support from players.

This is great, just played a few games with my friend, and it felt just like the ol' ICCup days. I really hope this catches on.

i like this idea, but a website is pretty crucial to the success of this.
I was thinking of a client (iccup) type thing that would sync the bank file on your pc and the websites database, and everything would be handled via the that connection (you gain points through the website and the client updater, not through the map file). (so you can't play the same person X amount of times).

Good luck with this. I would love play on it when it comes to EU

WHOO! A ladder that makes sense!
To quote (paraphrase I guess?) iNcontroL (on some old SotG episode), your rank on Blizzard ladder is determined by how shiny your league icon is ^_^
I really hope that this takes off, as this will be really helpful to the community.

I find this interesting but...
ICCup ladder system is no better than the blizzard ladder system IMO. You can play only your friends and be ranked among everyone ? This is strange. The fact that 90% of players where D/D+ on ICCup also shows that something wasn't working.
There is no perfect way to make a ladder system but at least blizzard system seems a little more honest.
Also I don't see what you have against the new blizzard ladder maps, plus, you say that they never listen to the community but they recently made the GSL maps available on the ladder so... (And these maps are as imba as the blizzard maps).
Good luck in your journey but i'm used to blizzard ladder system and I like it

I hope this catches on :3.

This is a good idea and a step in the right direction but the implementation is very, very weak in its current state. Matchmaking through chat channels is not the way to go with this. This might be better used as a "find friends your level to play against" tool rather than an improvement on Blizzard's current ladder system.
|
I think that once I get a website going, I might write soft matchmaking and a lobby system into the client.
|
Using this as soon as it hits EU.
|
If this takes off, I'll definitely use it. Lots of potential here.
|
Looks like an initiative on some solid ideas. I wish you the best!

If this works out please consinder using my next map update ( Takayoni and Kageyoni 2.1 hitting in 1-2 days) for your pool <.< and take out Tal darim altar the map has to big design flaws wich wont allow a proper controled game rather it supports totaly greed pure and the way you can use terrain besides near your 3 bases is far from any good !
|
But why the iccup rating system? It seems so arbitrary that you can for example gain points with a sub 50% win percentage in D etc. Why not just go with an ELO rating? Wouldn't that be way more transparent?
|
This seems really cool, like how ICCup was. :D
I will definitely be using this.
Hope this works out!

Actually, that shows that something is working really well. And no, they aren't even close to the crap Blizzard has put out.

Please get this going on EU.
