AdSense can work very well for making money, if you get visitors to your website. Basically, I would make a new joint account for it, email and everything, and all admins would get the email and password. | ||

![[image loading]](http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/928/risingleague.jpg) Hmmm... Interesting idea, Lif3... Since you know about this, if you could set up the website that would be awesome. I'm assuming the AdSense will give us money for a prize pool if enough people traffic the site/click on ads? And Flow, tyvm, that banner is awesome. Especially since we may "rise" to platinum, which has an eagle in the symbol.  So to recap: RISING League Lineup: 1 DuncanIdaho.554 Z gold 2 Karliath (River.469) P gold 3 FlowandEbb.249 Z bronze 4 L1f3 (Hybrid.663) P Silver 5 Hayako.686 T gold 6 Rtomas.763 race? league? 7 Chris.2359 P gold 8 Sevryn (nyrves.299) P gold 9 Fluffy1 (Fluffy.374) P Bronze 10 bamis300 (momo.350) 11 Ellisandre.511 T bronze 12 holyspear (reallyangry.948) 13 Mission.867 Z gold 14 PointyBagels.761 P gold Zerg=3 players, Terran=2 players, Protoss=6 players, Undecided yet=3 players. (I hope the undecideds aren't protoss, seems we're pretty loaded thus far for that race. If any more random,terran, or zerg players want in who are not in already, I might consider you, but I'd say we have enough protoss, and if any of you toss players wanted to change, that would be awesome, though I don't expect you to, of course.) *Note: There are a few people on the list which I don't have race/league info, if you could post it that would be awesome, otherwise I'll have to assume whatever your "most-played" race is according to your sc2 in-game profile, will be your race, and if any of you wish to change your race before the season starts, NOW IS THE TIME TO TELL ME, and random is allowed as your league race of preference, meaning you must choose random each game of every round you play, not say, I think I'll play toss today, since my opponent is such and such...* Furthermore, If I could get a really short personal profile from everyone, as in a picture, and then a paragraph description about yourself and your starcraft experience, I'll incorporate it into the thread post. I'd prefer a "real life" photo, but if you don't want everyone knowing you're a fat man with a third eye-ball, I'll understand, lol, but I will ask that I get some photo I can insert. Furthermore, I don't want som 12 megapixel photo that takes the better half of a century to load, preferably something that could fill up a space about this size in the thread: .......................................................... .......................................................... .......................................................... .......................................................... .......................................................... .......................................................... .......................................................... .......................................................... .......................................................... .......................................................... .......................................................... .......................................................... .......................................................... .......................................................... Also, I removed 15 and 16 due to non-response about interest in joining the league. So, 14 players, each player plays the other 13 players in a Bo3 per week, thus that's 13 weeks. If we begin next week, that will make the season last through Sat 12/18, and then the playoff/finals would be over the next week, which is coming up on Christmas break for any who observe the holiday (We're Atheists, but my family observes it anyways, at least the Santa Claus part of it minus all the nativity stuff, lol, but it's mostly for the kids), so perhaps it can be postponed until after the new year, which I don't have a problem with, unless we find a way to cram more games throughout the weeks and do the finals before Christmas... Karliath made an excellent point that with so few players, it seems odd that half would get into the finals, making the season almost pointless, so I'm thinking the top 4 get into it. #1 plays #4, so as to reward #1 and make the season games that much more critical, and #2 and #3 play each other, and finally the winners of both will square off in the finals. Perhaps we can divide any money pool amongst those players, with 1st place getting 50%, 2nd getting 25%, and the other two who made it there but didnt win their semi finals round 12.5% each. I'm not too concerned about cash, but it's always fun, and it may give you some leverage when attempting to convince wives/moms/etc. to let you participate. (It helped to convince my wife to be cool about me staying up that night for the Rising Cup #2, "But honey, I could win $10!" lol. Not that I needed her permission, of course, but yeah... You know how wives can get about video games, I'm sure...) I'm thinking if we do this, we could make it into 2 nights, with a Bo5 for all 3 of the final matches. If everyone's on board with this, I'll go ahead and make a new thread soon, announcing this and if we can get this AdSense in the works before we start, i.e. post a link to it in the thread announcing this, that would be really awesome for getting more clicks on the site. All aboard?  | ||

Everyone plays 2 Bo3's against the same person. Since there is an odd number of weeks, this was unavoidable (unless I'm missing something?). From my line of thought, I can't switch them around either while still allowing everyone to play exactly 2 rounds per week. I found a few ways to prevent us from doubling up on week 7, but it would require some to play 3 rounds on week 7, others just 1, and vice versa for the weeks I swapped games with. I don't care how we do it, whether leave it alone (which will cause us to play against the same person twice), or swap things (which will cause a dispproportionate number of games per week), but I thought I'd point that out. I dislike having to play the same person twice, but then I'd also dislike having to play 3 rounds one week and only 1 the other week. I just see no good remedy for that. Otherwise, I think we're set. | ||
