Small events are limited to 5 points max, and you can only do 1 a day. Just like every other season. Most small events will be 3vs3 and 4vs4 ctf games.

Your comment about admins is a bit strange. There are only 4 admins: Bobby, Me, BlurredD, and FireSword. None of us are allowed to win the tournament or even intend to, due to the amount of control we have over the scoring. Were you thinking about officials instead?

As for officials "spamming them", note that you do not even need an official to organize an event. Small events can be completely run by users. It helps to have an official present (or hosting), but isn't necessary. Just record the scores and send them to an official, and make sure they are accurate. Including a screenshot is a good idea. We'll take your word for it and add the event.



Were you talking about spontaneous events instead? These are unplanned events which are organized by officials or admins, and are worth more points, and generally are open to more players. There's also no limit on them. Obviously, this does give a bit of an advantage to officials, since they can host events whenever they want.

My opinion on spontaneous events is that there should be no limit on them, but officials should also be encouraged to post events at least 24 hr in advance (making them normal events, rather than spontaneous). The way I see it, the more events there are, the better, and so there will be as few restrictions on them as possible. Planned events are encouraged over spontaneous events because they can be worth more points.

If officials wind up getting tons and tons of points because of this, we MIGHT make a restriction that says something like "the host of a spontaneous event gets 1/2 the points for it" or something like that. I'd rather not put in something like this unless it's absolutely critical though, because people need to be encouraged to host events, not discouraged.

If you think this is unfair, well it sorta is. On the other hand, it does allow for more events, and JDC has always gone by the philosophy that fun is more important than fairness. Besdies, if you are someone who is helpful, good at english, and generally friendly, it's not hard to become an official yourself.
