Player’s Network Profile Messaging
I my last suggestion titled Super-flex Tournaments (Flex Tournaments would have been just fine), there was a miswording I caught after I sent the message that I really wanted to clear up.
“The name super-flex format now comes to mind, but whatever it might be called, I am wondering if you might be able to offer a round by round ordered restorable contest format, with administrative intervention available from beginning to end.”
Should have read: a round by round ordered re-sortable contest format, with administrative intervention available from beginning to end.
That would be what I and I believe many others would be looking for in a contest. Again thanks!
My message board if you would be interested to see it (forgot to add before):

Player’s Network Profile Messaging
My next suggestion involves a change in the way online multiplayers players communicate. Email is fine for sports competitions but electronic game players are best notified by private message to their game network. All that I really know anything about or have ever used is Steam private messaging, so that is what I will describe.
Every player on Steam has a Profile page, here’s mine:
http://steamcommunity.com/id/tomisama/
You cannot see it unless you have a Steam account, but in the upper right hand corner there is an open-letter icon that notifies players of many different communications. Rather than an email address, if a players profile could be notified of a Challonge contest event directly inside Steam, it would be much quicker and more efficient for electronic gammers.
Some kind of special agreement with Steam might be required, but the benefits for both, and the players and contest providers also would be huge!
Thanks again for your attention.
