Standings not showing in Free Public Groups
December 26, 2011 in
I have set up ladders for most Free Public Groups. I seem able to report scores. But the standings don’t appear to be connected.
Example: I test reported a result of Brent Johner 2 and Colby Cavanagh 2 on 2011-12-26 to CALGARY PICKLEBALL NETWORK. The scores are showing on the SCORES pages for that group but nothing is showing on the STANDINGS PAGE for that group.

At the moment, Standings are only configured for Box Leagues and Ladders. When we spoke last, we were going to set up a number of premium private ladders free to first 50 that join. These ladders would have a naming convention of {City} {Sport} Ladder. If they are set up this way, the Standings page will appear as you expect it to.

Change of plans. We need to create buzz. We need to get people using the reporting features in order to get to 50,000. I am not going to be creating ladders for cities. If I do that we will end up with two groups for every city — a free public group and a private ladder. The private ladder will not be indexed by Google. The public group will be nothing but a list of names and there will be no excitement or enthusiasm to use it.
So new plan. Better plan. We will be adding a ladder to every public group. Players will use it, report scores, like it, and recruit their friends to join our network. We will race to 50,000 users. Eventually, players will want to break up into their own private groups and will pay for these services. At that point we can begin creating premium private ladders for them.
