Matchplay is coming along nicely but it's definitely not finished. I have a version on the test site ready to go for those who want to try out the current incarnation.

Right now you can challenge others who are enrolled in matchplay and play the event. You can cancel, accept, and decline challenges as well. You must enroll in order to play though. You'll find that option on the matchplay page.

Currently, the matchplay scoring is not implemented but that's next on the list, along with completing the ladder scoring, and win/loss tracking.

If you would like to try it out:

1. You have to run the server switch
For Links 2003: http://www.lspn.net/server_switch/LSPN_TEST_L2K3.exe
For Links 2001: http://www.lspn.net/server_switch/LSPN_TEST_L2K1.exe

To switch back:
For Links 2003: http://www.lspn.net/server_switch/LSPN_MAIN_L2K3.exe
For Links 2001: http://www.lspn.net/server_switch/LSPN_MAIN_L2K1.exe

2. You need to have an account on the test site. I copied all of the current accounts about a week ago. So if you've been a member for a while you should be able to log right in. If you want to make a new account go ahead but PM me so I can give you Tour Player status. If you're a casual member, you can play too. I've already given everyone Tour Player status on the test site. However, on the live site Tour Player or Tour Directory membership will be required for play.

3. Visit the test site here: http://test.lspn.net/. Login, then click the 'Challenge!' button in the top menu.

4. Enroll so you can play

5. For right now, you'll need to add Arcade events to your event list options in order to see any active challenge events. Also, only you and your opponent will be able to see the event in-game and on the site. I plan to add ways for people to see the results of matches though.

6. Start challenging!

This is just the beginning. I also have the beginning of a bracket tournament framework that will use this new matchplay stuff. Can you say Ryder Cup.

Tour Directors, this will all eventually be in your league as well. I'm building everything to work based on leagues so you'll be able to have your own ladder and bracket tournaments.

I think that she just wanted to b-itch, and that's okay. Good find, on the post. I knew that there was one, but I did not have time to search for it.

The lobby is the live chat room, has nothing to do with the tourneys here at LSPN. that thread is quite old, so it looks like the answer is no progress in the lobby. GameRanger has picked up the slack, thank goodness.

The lobby was meant to take over Match/ Maker and H to H The Lobby is used for setting up matchs against friend and team of three on three or alt players. No one ever said anything about tournaments in the lobby . Game ranger is a good outlet for now .

When Mark sets up the NEW LOBBY . It will be well worth the wait .


Please read carefully so that there is no mixing of words or misunderstanding .

LOL. Are you ok? Seriously, Anne asked a simple question and several people went off in another direction. So, how about you reading and understanding so that you don't get confused and ultimately misunderstand ... got it? Probably not.
