You should definetly do it. Close the sign up in a competition 2-3 days after it has started. People who join right at the end , do not join to win. Those who join to play 1 game and then stop, also do not play to win.
If you want to play competitive then sign up normally like the rest of us.
People join late just to throw games, troll, and cheat. As long as players are allowed to join in a competition 4-5-6 days after it has started right at the end, there wont be any shortage of cheating alts and gamethrowers.
90% of the players of competitive rounds are the same old players. Nothing will change if you lock it 2-3 days after it has started. It would just stop some of the gamethrowers and cheaters to just join with other alts.
day 4 is too early. many people play gold hearts just for fun and not for trophy. many people are not active for weeks and come back. if they dont get to play gold heart then
1- gold heart games wont fill
2- they will be mad they dont get to play what they want
this solution may stop gters (they can bypass this by joining early)
we already have a system in place that keeps players from joining the round if they got their 1500 points after the round has started
but this solution is just a cop out solution. it is like you dont wanna hold exhibitions because you are afraid of thiefs stealing everything.
we dont wanna ruin our fun because of gters. there are other solutions to gters. we report them and give them vios and they get suspended after 2 game related vios from the round. there is no need for a competitive lock down. this site is for fun and not for stopping gters.
If we want Competitive to be played just as red games : Whenever anyone feels like playing winnig or no winning, trying or no trying, Why we have competitive at all?
Why would you join the competitive round for 1 game after 4 months , without knowing the roles or how the setup is played, lose the whole games because you dont know mechanics then give up playing for another 4 months
not an awful idea by xxerox, but should probably be to accounts with a score of less than x amount, so casual players who come on the site once per month can still play
something like if your main lobby score is less than 15000 you have to join before day 4 to compete.
