Don't mean to sound harsh but it's a rather stupid idea. You haven't been around long enough to remember how the game was 5+ years ago, when the game play was actually really good. You could find good fights, squadrons would regularly rotate to help even out the sides and the skies were full of good sticks.
The day this appeared on the AH main page is the day the game play started to go down the tubes.
The game unfortunately hasn't been the same since.
ack-ack
Exactly.
It's already Quake like enough without tournaments. Bad enough seeing the top score potato each tour on the front page, stick them at the back of the website where they belong. Unfortunate that the worst aspect of the game is the first impression that visitors and newbies see.
