I am very new to this site, but have been a Senior E-sports Administrator for 6 years for the Global Gaming League.. anyway.. I love the ease of the site and the competition that it forsters.
One of my jobs at GGL is to find ways to foster more competition, increase website usage and find processes/features to make the gaming more fun and competitive.
Just a few suggestions that I have right now..
A ladder system (full ladder with Tier'd divisions to help maintain competitions among similar skill sets)
Speed Games - Allow the user that creates the match to 'pause' the match and enter a time/date that the match will resume. The system then will pause it and start it automatically at the time/date entered. This will allow players to pause from the match without penalty. As some of us know.. things come up and we are not always able to finish matches.
Clan profile pages - Allow clans to register their clan with CC, then they will be given access to a 'My CC Clan page'... that is setup similar to a facebook page in which others can join their 'Group/Clan' page and setup matches, leave messages, clans can display their logo and the system will keep track of their clan matches and stats. They can have a calendar page that displays their current matches and time available for matches.. etc.
Player Profile - create a module that allows players that create maps to display all of the maps they have created on their player profile.
User Created Bracket system. I have a PHP Bracket system that I could allow the coders to see and use the idea to incorporate into the system to allow premium members to set up simple 4-8-16 brackets and invite other teams/players to participate. I know that there are currently tournaments going on.. but having a nice viewable bracket would be sweet!
Just a few ideas.. as I continue to play around on the site and play more games.. I am sure ill have more ideas.
This is a great site and game... love it. Thank you all!
