But it shows your account is from 2013!! If this is the 52nd week, who joined before? This has been in the mix for 1 year and they won't even give a 2013 first shot at the lunacy?

 

What is the logic in this guys? "Let's start a system to pool all time controls and ratings into one group and not let long time users join until 1 year later."

 

BRAVO!! BRAVO!! Brilliancy prize in blunders I tell ya. Someone is trying to outdo the Botez Gambit. 

It was in beta testing but they reset everyone's progress to start it officially.

No you're saying that.

This article was published on the 24th

But anyway, it started last week, I think on the 19th, like @dfgh123 said.

SamyureWarrior I am not sure if you are trolling or acting dumb on purpose. Would you mind elaborating what exactly your issue is ?

I was under the impression that the league concept was designed to promote activity, not to find a best player.  A 700-rated player can go 30-50 in blitz games against other 700s and get three times as many points as a less active 2200-rated player going 10-0 in blitz games against other 2200s.

What does his account creation date have to do with how long leagues have been around. Leagues are a new feature.

It was in beta, not released to the whole site yet... I don't know whether it was for a while year, but in any case we're starting from week 51.

 

Oh, I was going to keep quoting and answering, but the rest of your post doesn't make any sense. Oh well.

 

52 weeks is not a "new feature". That is 1 year.

 

Your posts don't make sense either. Now you are saying it is was in beta? Are you trying to say a non-feature was in beta?

Staff were testing Leagues from last year. It was released to BETA users this September, and site-wide this month.

How do you test this? Either people play bullet, blitz, or rapid. Why should I be in the same league with someone who is playing bullet? I will never play bullet.

 

I want to be in a league that plays rapid.

Well sorry, but staff are not going to make an exception because you like rapid over bullet.

You will be mixed with people who like bullet, rapid, and blitz

It's the whole idea of the league points you earn from games

Let's combine people who play bullet and McDonald's. I want extra points when I eat McDonald's fries.

 

Then, I want extra points when I eat a Burger King hamburger while playing blitz. 

 

I want extra points doubled when I go to a family restaurant and play rapid.

 

Yea, I want to be marginalized. 

Just saying, the majority of people who play bullet play hyperbullet which doesn't earn you league points.

Saying that, you do earn quite a lot of points playing rapid

No, I am not trolling. I am suggesting we put people in rating ranges and have them play in the same time controls.

That doesn't make sense.

I would explain why in detail if you weren't a turd.

 

Proof is in the pudding. Don't confuse turds with pudding. 

 

In the following evidence, you will see number 1 is in blitz and blitz only. I am in third, rapid only. I should be in 1st rapid. Further investigation will show you that rating is also amuck.  Number 2 is rated 800, while I am 500 points higher. Look deeper, and you will see a farce of a game. And they are ranked 4th? 1000 points lower than me? https://www.chess.com/game/live/34445393517?username=mehdighamati

 

Please make sure to eat the pudding and throw away the turds. I guarantee your taste buds will be grateful. After all, they are your buds. A good buddy is hard to fine.

 

See how  I linked all that together? Now, that can't be trolling. That's just some good old Columbo logic.  

 

That doesn't make any sense. They would have to create multiple leagues, and people would have multiple different leagues and divisions. It would be a huge mess.

 

The thing is, it's just about playing games. You can progress in playing bullet, blitz, or rapid. Those player really long time controls won't be competitive, but my guess is most of those people probably don't care about leagues.
