Probably every day until I get comfortable enough to officially shift the list to revision 2.0, then at that point maybe weekly or something like that
The GS list, probably after every GST after revision 2.0

Sounds great, good for you!  

Hmm i think if i became active sparring i could probably push my self to platinum.
Maybe when my summer break starts.

Either way, no one should be too bothered by opinions, mine or anyone else's
Sparring thread arguments are cool when they result in actual sparring

this. it's interesting to see how the community sees u as a sparrer vs ur own perspective.
if they all placed you at bronze or lower side of tier, then there's a reason for it.

im usually ranked in silver-ish cus they don't ever see me in streak rooms, but i play on alt sometimes and that's how i know whom are clearly better and whom aren't. so im always speechless about these rankings, but it is what i deserve lol. i've left no impression on people.

I just skimmed over the argument for fun:

• I won't put anyone in the Peasant tier based on attitude, I'm not interested in being the nice police
• I think I recall Livid side-rooming quite a lot but that was a while ago, I think he's pretty decent as a sparrer when he queues in the streak room
• Distorted_P2P is peanut gallery material, not even a sparrer and you shouldn't let him instigate so easily

Either way, no one should be too bothered by opinions, mine or anyone else's

Good point, thanks.

Im sgoing for god tier bruh  

My friend is 1-0, she's God material  

Would be cool if you could allow the ranks to be changed, and have a few mods that could spectate matches.

People decide on the date and time, then they can gain/lose points based on tier difference.
Kind of like www.GameBattles.com, but in this case it's all community help.

If you could get around 10 mods to just add a change of points to players' rankings, and if you could revise them, after all matches have been finished daily, then it could be a nice ranking system. Player-hosted nontheless, but still fun. Gives players a chance to prove that they are better than silver/gold.

something demrow wanted to do an year ago.

Yeah, but the CD site looks very nice. Plus, GB isn't going to add an official ladder for graal. It would be cool, if he and a few others could spectate matches and change the standing of players, even if it's not an official ranking system.  

if anyone could make a fully functioning website + appropriate rules that goes with the tier system we mentioned or something similar.

i'd legit help hosting 24/7  

It's a ton of work to do that stuff manually, I kinda did that when I held a huge team sparring league on PC Graal and it was exhausting

It'd be easy to do that type of stuff if fp4 or someone set it up so that every spar in the arena would send a GET request to a site, passing variables like account names of the winner and loser, how much they won by, etc., but at that point it'd basically be coding a secondary spar ranking system
I don't think they have any interest in doing that for unofficial sites and non-staff members (which is understandable)  

I guess, as far as rules go they could be something like

Lose a round by (Other than losing, obviously)
- Warping more than 2 times
- Excessively lagging
- Every minute you are late to the match

If you log off, before the match has finished, then you lose double the points for poor sportsmanship.

Activity
- Must do at least 10 matches a month, if you are in top 3 tiers
- Must do at least 5 matches a month, tier 4 and below
- Every match you miss, you drop a certain amount of points

There would be some rules for disputing, but you'd have to record the matches on your own for that.

No idea what else, for now, but if I were to have a website with rankings, I'd put something like that.  

where is anatago when you need him

when you need him

Think you answered your own question.  

i will be teh best 1 day  

On a side note, big props to Thallen for writing his sparring guide. I play competitive SSBM which i study frame data sometimes in, and this was definitely right up my alley. I never really sparred in Classic but now I got interested.
