Hey right on - glad to see some interest!
To keep it simple, I was thinking something along the lines of picking 5 to 10 games for each console through voting or whatever... Games we already have or plan on owning shortly, throw in a few arcade games for the fun of it, too. The more genres we can get in, the better (shooters are great, but we have sports, racing, rpgs, etc).
Once we decide which games are for each console (do we even have a PC gaming section? I never bothered to check
), we can simply divide everyone up into a regional team and have like a regional captain, who basically just has to make sure they get the points collected for their region (like a go-to guy/girl). People can set up whatever game modes/options they want.
We can start on a certain day, devote a simple match to the challenge; having just one match is easier to keep track of... Plus, if every region just plays one game per week, it'll help it remain a short, fun event instead of some long, drawn out event. Another good thing about splitting up into four regional teams is that not everyone has to show up for every match, and the teams don't have to be even (well, in-game they do, but not for the overall number of people participating). Jump-ins okay at any time, so long as they're in your region.
We can collect points for say 12 weeks, and can add a game into the rotation at any time. Simple, fun, and quick!
A final idea I had was to pick a member from each region at the end of the challenge as the Regional VIP or something like that, maybe as a vote by region...
Quo, you guys have set up teams before; maybe a list of people and their regions? I don't know if you have that readily available or not... or even needed. I can probably just set up a simple system to say East vs. Pacific in X game/Mountain vs. Central in Y game and those who show up report the points. Man, that's almost too easy!
