Okay, now I just came up with this idea now. Tell me what you guys think.
The CAL Rotation Server is awesome, I love it. That being said, there is one thing that I think may be beneficial to the server.
Getting to play the variety of CAL maps on the server is nothing short of fantastic. However I know that when I'm in the server a day before a match on contra and were playing inferno, season...etc it's kind of annoying and, to be blunt, pointless.
What I'm suggesting is putting a time cap, I was thinking maybe a day in advance, in which the only map being played on the server was the scheduled CAL map for that week, this way, performance on that specific map is maximized come match time, as more game time is being utilized on the specific map being played during that week in CAL.
Thoughts?

I like the idea, but I think we might see a drop in population if we did it that way. Also, CAL is played on different days. O is Monday, IM is Sunday & Wednesday, etc. What day do we put it on?
If you put it on Monday for Open, you lose the IM and up players.

Yeah, Jake hit it on the head.
O != IM != M != I != CEVO - A != CGS != etc

I can see your point, but maybe we could set it up as the week of a certain map (if they are the same) that the map in question is played twice during a normal rotation. I don't know if all the CAL leagues play the same map though.

Good point, don't know how to fix that situation after a bit of thought. |

Me either. I've thought of bringing it up quite a few times, but haven't for that reason.

Setup a yes/no vote near the end of each map that jus asks should next map be [cal o map on sunday cal I map on tuesday]?
I don't know about the fesibility of this, but a vote near the end of the map leaves it up to those playing at the time if they want to practice the map or not.

The best idea would to be to increase the map of the week frequency but then it wouldnt be a "cal rotation" server and would be a "cal map" server. That or rather than doing it all day just get it to do like the cal map of the week for default day for O (open is the biggest) like starting at 6:30 cent (2 hrs before default match time) and lastin until 8:30 pac. I still think it would negatively affect server population though

I was going to suggest something like this but I didn't know how to word it. Although it sounds selfish Open is the biggest, and that's where the majority of our players come from, I personally don't think the population would dip as a result of playing the CAL map of the week the day before Open. Put yourself in IM coming t play in OPG. I would like playing it more, even when my match isn't the next day, because I'm maximizing my time online practicing for a match. |

I don't like this idea at all. I would hate to play the same map over and over again for that week. This is what scriming is for.

That would be an amazing plugin. |

Run a second server... with just 10 people on it.. that is JUST the current CAL 0 map.. Most teams are in CAL 0. Focus on CAL 0 maps. SUCK IT E!  |
