wicked suggested on another thread we should open up this discussion on its own thread so lets do that, worst case scenario it will fall on deaf ears but I suspect if we as a community can put together a strong enough argument coupled with a strategy for implementation he may be open to changing his mind.

excellent point currently many tournaments are only open to players above or under a certain score. Likewise many are only open to premium players and some even overlap both - these tournies are clearly not open to all but currently they are allowed - this in effect shows a double standard as the primary reason given in the past is tournies should be open to all.

I believe the argument here is that anyone has the ability to achieve a certain score, or buy premium with equal opportunity, where not everyone can join your clan.

actually several clans have open recruitment and we consider members of all ranks and do not discriminate between premium and freemium so technically everyone could join my clan or at least one of the clans with open membership

I would like to point out that I was not specifically referring to your clan, or any specific clan.
Nor is this my argument, nor to I necessarily support it, but I have seen it used as an explanation somewhere before, and thought I would bring it to this discussion.

Seems simple to allow tournament games to be created as a stop-gap measure until rivals (finally) comes out, or even just create labelled private games. Trying to organise a clan challenge is impossibly difficult under the current rules.
On the one hand clans are being seemingly encouraged at the moment, with the ability to create usergroups being restored, but at the same time any clan momentum is being stifled as organising games is unneccessarily difficult!
wicked wrote:Clans or no clans doesn't change the fact that freemies can't create private games period, and this shouldn't be used to get around one of the basic rules of this site. If freemies want private games for whatever reason, they can upgrade. Let's not confuse the issues here.

Question still stands though :
why not grant tournament priv's to one member of a clan who is a premium member?
