WHAT IS A GAMING COMPETITION SYSTEM?

If you look across the web, Gaming “Competition Systems” tend to be whatever the website developer defines them to be.  You will usually see a ladder site, with leagues and seasons supported and some even support tournaments.  Solo play is a given and team (clan) play is becoming a norm as more games support online team based game styles.  Generally the websites are created as a combination of several open source (free) modules the site owners wire together to build a site for their members to use.  They tend to look at other sites and copy what is being done elsewhere.  And they tend to fill their site with RSS Feeds and links to news, game reviews and text/banner ads to give the site an appearance of “heft” and a possible income from advertising. 

And differentiation between sites is very difficult to attain without incorporating a unique edge (or three) to your service offering.     But not us!

For over 8+ years now CompeteSoft has been INNOVATING and DEVELOPING competition systems and along the way have perfected (and implemented) our proprietary modules for delivering comprehensive gaming/social networking solutions used to acquire, grow and manage a community of online gamers. Why?  Because we believe that each gaming site has its own “feel” or “pulse” enabled by the various features made available to the gamers using the site.

You can’t build in the uniqueness each site requires by using the same toolbox every other site was built with.  We know that all the key functions have to be there----but the experience of using the site and the features that add to the recognition and sense of accomplishment gained from participation on the site will ultimately overshadow the win-loss records in most cases.  Click Here to see more about our experience.

At CompeteSoft, a Gaming “Competition System” is viewed as a collection of community experiences having gaming as a common bond among members.  It extends beyond solo or team competition within the game itself.  It is an immersion into a social community where participation is encouraged and rewarded alongside the in-game competitive achievements.  Every “Competition System” will require (a) a “Front End” portal through which the public and members receive updates and promote successes.  (b) a “Competition System” that will manage the solo/team play and support various league, season, playoff and tournament formats selected by the site managers,  (c) a “Social Networking” fabric surrounding all interactions between members of the site.

WHAT WILL A GAMING COMPETITION SYSTEM DO?

Here is a snapshot of what we have learned a Gaming Competition System needs to look like:

• Raise My Pulse: (Jolt my senses, give me something to buzz about. Make me want to tell others about your site.)
• Entertain me: (Just plain give me video, games, challenges, and other content that I can use to unwind, escape, relax)
• Shine the Spotlight: (Provide recognition to individuals and teams as they achieve various participation and match play results.  Allow members of the community to brag about their accomplishments and those of their team)
• Bring it to Life: (Extend the virtual game world into the real world lives of the participants.   Support and discuss user generated content.  Link to my other social networking sites/profiles)
• Keep me Informed: (Bring game/industry news to me and push selected content to my Browser or Mobile to keep me posted on key happenings in the industry and on the site)
• Give me Brand Candy: (imprint your brand on me to where I cannot get it out of my mind when I leave)
