A note from @erik to me about my online tournament, 4teamchess.com

I received this note when I first began the tournament and did not want to be seen as a scam or fraud or advertisement. Here is what his reply was:

With that being said, www.4teamchess.com is a legitament tournament, however unique. It is done in full view of chess.com.

Now, here are the 4 players who finished first in the one winner for every 100 participants and the amount they would have won each; if it was fee-based with 11,692 participants. (the amounts are on the website) 
3072285(US), sgntnapalm(Australia), grigorious_greg (Germany), and remvinh (Vietnam)

What has this to do with ANYTHING in this group? Please take it away!

YankeeBastid

I will tell you. If you play rapid 30-min matches, or maybe your other club members do, they would qualify in this tournament. That is what it has to do with your group. As it still has some development work that could be done, and because I am a member, read the note from @erik.

If you took the time to read the rules, you would be clear on how this tournament works for every chess player on chess.com as the ratings are taken from here. I would be happy to answer your questions on why you are uncomfortable with the tournament at 4teamchess.com. And, no, I will not take it away until the owner or super admin asks me to. Are you the owner? Super admin? Let me know.

Basically this club isn't a place to advertise your events. Yes, you are allowed to post a topic, in the site forums, and blog posts.

Tricky_Dicky

No l am not admin, but I can read and understand what this group is about seems difficult for some others.

YankeeBastid

Posting a topic is the same thing, I would think. What is wrong with the tournament concept is that it does not fit with any other tournament, in your opinion? @erik did not see a problem with it.

This club is only a place for discussion about chess.com developer community, especially focused on the public API (fetching chess.com site data from public endpoints, like this one: https://api.chess.com/pub/player/erik).

This club has nothing to do with organisation of tournaments, team matches etc. @Tricky_Dicky is right, the thread is off-topic and should be taken away.

This isn't the public forums. Post it here and you'll get more people: https://www.chess.com/forum

I fail to see why you waited 4 months to post this here after getting permission to put out a forum post and blog post about it.

EDIT: May I talk to the developer who did this website.... It looks very scam like and its hard to look at in general... Absolutely Ugly (no offense).
EDIT (Again): There is no verification here to see if someone claiming to be someone is that person...

YankeeBastid

lol, I am a 75-year-old, retired business analyst who learned to program in php and built that website plus two others. One in golf (blitzplayers.com) and the other in bowling (potbowlers.com) All use the same concept in similar ways. I waited as I was still in beta (up until a couple of weeks ago) and had not learned how to accurately pull members and verify their ratings average. I was on the developer group as a member to learn the API's, something that was new to me, but solved many problems for the concept. I do not mind that you find the website to be ugly, the golf is prettier, (lol)

Bruh... This is a developer community. This is not what @eric meant. You're advertising your website WAY too much. Do this in public forums please, and not here.

YankeeBastid

Thank you rohithbala. I am a member of the developer community and the job is not done. @erik said I could post in the forum here, and other developers may be following the progress of its development.
