What does this have to do with bulldog chess? I must be missing something because it would be incredibly rude to use these forums as a way of advertising an unrelated event.
most unique chess.com event here, runs daily and has awards monthly for top for on the leaderboard
Sort:
I was invited to this group and was encouraged to show what I have built using API's from Chess.com. Give me a moment and I will find the invite

Good afternoon, I am writing to you with the help of an online translator. I have a business idea, please forward this message to the person responsible for project development...
That would be based off chess though, right? Looks like a very unique chess variant idea.
Perhaps you could join Bulldog Chess Players and share your idea there in detail. I believe there are some devs in that club and also a tight group which fancies chess variants with more squares, unique chess pieces and such. 
If you are an admin and do not appreciate my effort, I will of course leave.
Thank you for the response. I am not an admin just a member of the club wary of people trying to spam ads for unrelated stuff.
I will say Breeze doesn't seem to be a club member so it's not really an invite. But I do suppose if you were directed to us at least it wasn't generic spam.
Best of luck in your project. What are you going going do to stop sandbagging? If all that matters is rating change than starting with a lower rating seems to make a lot of sense.
I hope to make an event that allows players of ALL skill levels to compete on an EQUAL BASIS. It is a unique and unusual methodology. Notice that the current number one spot has a member with a ~500 Elo. Also note that every team has an equal status based on the sum of the positions of each member of the team. First place team total of sort position is 514 and 6th place is also 514 so every team in today's event had a total of 514. That number changes daily based on the number of members who qualify.
Chess.com awards diamond memberships to the top 4 on our leaderboard each month, so I guess they like the idea. I still have to post the results externally though for a variety of policies.

I'm certain you have a way around what I'm about to say, but I still worry about how there may be sandbaggers, or just plainly new accounts set on a lower ELO than what the player should have had
Placing players on a team based on their position of a sort of their rating average assures that a player cannot be assured of success. I am assuming by sandbagging you mean a player deliberately losing to lower their rating and then playing their best to score a higher rating in a tournament event. The reason this does not work in my competition is that I use the average of Elo ratings awarded from games held on Chess.com, nowhere else, and then compare that average to the most current rating average (previous 6 plus the latest game). The maximum PPM score that can be awarded to a single player is 13 (almost impossible to achieve). Another limit I place on the participants is that they must play at least one new rapid game every three days. They cannot sit on a good PPM score for the duration of the monthly competition. I hope this reasoning gives you enough assurance to at least try the competition yourself and if it works for you help us expand the concept to others you may have influence over.

Dang. I come back after a long time myself. Was a regular prominent member here during covid. Played at least a few games, hosted many more. Sadly, it looks like many of my old Bulldog chums have not logged in. Then again, neither have I (until today).
If this thread was to be revived, I wish it were on the topic of Bulldog Chess.
My competition is the most unique, unusual event on chess.com. It has created a new way for novices to participate along with advanced players on chess.com to have an equal chance of winning. It uses APIs to determine a player's Elo average and uses that average to determine a unique score based on the difference between a starting and current average, I call a PPM or Progressive Performance Metric, a measurable quantity that determines a player's current rating status, not a snapshot of a persons performance, but a rolling record of a players ability over time.
A daily event with players awarded points and points are used to determine a player's position on a leaderboard each month.
Diamond memberships are awarded by chess.com to the top four on the leaderboard at the end of every month.
My club is 4teamchess International and if you are interested in competing in the event it is open to ALL skill-level rapid chess players who play their matches on chess.com.
This is what a daily result looks like:
