League System #1
Description
Rethink how the league system works. Think about how the system works in regard to monetization.
- Players should be able to create as many leagues as they'd like and invite friends (joining random leagues probably isn't super interesting)
- You should have to pay to enter, which will have a minimum value per player
- Minimum amount required to enter depends on the length of the league
- At the end of the league, 95% of the entered bids go to the winner of the league, the rest goes to me
Some ideas
- How does the initial person get to this point?
- Creates a league by giving it some basic information: name, end date, length of run, max number of players, etc
- Also should store internal data like creator's user ID and creation date
- Allow the creator to invite friends over email to join the league
- During this time, all you can do is essentially look at the "pending" screen and see who has joined
- Other players can join in during this time
- Once the desired number of players have joined in, the creator can click "Go"
- Players have to pay in before it can begin
- Server logs the start time and end time (start time + length of run)
- Players can now see the tickers and portfolios and such
- Creating a league needs to be able to take in more information -- name, id, end date, etc
- Also should store internal data like start date and creating user ID
- Need a server script that handles closing a league when the timer runs out
- There should be a pre-league system where you collect your players before beginning to play
