Ball Busterz! [COMPLETE]

[chemefreak]

It's too bad we can't get a petition going... I bet that if they were asked, that at least 90%+ would give us their blessing even if we weren't complying just because we are such a minority! (and they love us!) Dazey was following the rules, but there arent enough of us left here to do what your asking. couldn't you, just once give special consideration for a special uncommon event involving very special people? Honestly, do you think you would ever get any flack back if you allowed this to happen? You said that you talked to your other TD's? I'm curious, what did pony say? better yet, can we respond to everyone that gave input so that we can argue our point? Hopefully they would turn around and see things as we do? I mean, what would it hurt?

Just my 2 cents!

What Tammy says...I never disagree with the Queen! However, I will say that I sorta understand where the TDs are coming from in that this is a slippery slope for them. The site does not allow "intra-clan"/"intra-usergroup" tournaments. This has been discussed ever since I have been around. Why not expand it to include boys too and have girl on boy or boy on girl (whatever your preference ) action? I'm in if that will help! Woo Goo! Tammy Rulz!!!!

[Chuuuuck]

Quit being a douchebag and let the girls have their tournament. It is only reasonable they are all in that usergroup because that is a usergroup for women and this is a tournament for women. Nearly all female players on this site are in that group.

Ladies, if you want the tournament. Half of you drop that usergroup until you get your tournament privileges.

You sound like some 13 year old kid letting a little power go to your head and forgetting about common sense.

so cheme,
if i started a 16plyer 1vs1 tourney open to the public, and say....10 people from ++The Legion++ signed up, then it would be against CC tournament rules?
...because i would bet money, something like this has happened already. let them have the tourney.

[Chewie1]

Just because all the participents are from a usergroup it shouldnt mean they cant participate in a tourney as only one pairing can win. And as already mentioned it was open for all girls not just the ball busterz. Ive played in plenty of tourneys that have been top heavy with clan members and their have been no problems.

Let them have the tournament and keep an eye on it.

[jsnyder748]

It sounds fine too me. Girls are a minority on here anyways they should get some special treatment

[KoolBak]

Wow....Bully alert!! Let the Ladies of CC have their fun! I am here to officially support my pal Tammy - What she says goes!!!

(Hell Hath No Fury, and all.......)

[HippieBroker]

I agree with all of the ladies here.
Because they happened to get a bunch of females to sign up for the group and then they decided to get them in their group, you aren't allowing it?
Pretty lame IMO.

This sausage-fest known as cc needs MORE ladies...we should do our best to keep them happy after all the machismo and bs ego stuff we boys put them thru!
and I don't see anything wrong with what they've done.

I understand where you are coming from Night Strike.
But in the grand scheme of things...it's a bloody medal...a FAKE one...on a website that you are giving out. Sure it looks all nice and shiny on your own page, but it means NOTHING!
It's not like it is for money or anything.
Let the ladies have their fun...it was open to the public and she followed the rules. Canceling it on a technicality is pretty weak IMO.

Or just piss them off and have none of them re-up when they become freemium and lose good quality people and the $25 the site wants from all of us.

and when the ladies go...so do the boys.

You do NOT want to upset Dazey and Queen Tammy.
Castration is in your near future NightStrike

NO ONE messes with the Queen!

Good luck ladies.
Hopefully the powers that be see the light. If not let me know...I work with the Italian mafia and they are just itchin' to break some knees!
And after we break their knees, my hippie friends will have a drum circle around them and make them listen to Greatful Dead tunes for 72 hours straight!
They'll be wishing the mafia killed them

[MNDuke]

f*ck. I say let them play and CC should offer the winner free premium and make this annual sanctioned CC tournament - the TD's already fucked up on the decision with this one, here's a chance to make it right. I can only imagine the further backlash you will suffer.

[Barney Rubble]

More CC Lady bashing ,abuse in chat is ok and now this . Let this tourney move forward !!!

[Swifte]

Ball Busterz has 62 members... that's gotta more than half the tournament-going females on CC anyway. You've given them an impossible task. Let them have their tourney.

[*Pixar*]

GO TAMMY

[Snowgun]

I, for one, welcome any outlet for girl on girl action.

Maybe we can resolve this problem if CC requires the tourny players to post pics. Sounds like a fair trade to me.

My thoughts EXACTLY! Here's to the 1st ANNUAL Ball Busterz! Ladies Only Tourney! May the best Woman/Team win it all! Bragging rights, 1 year Premium, AND a nice shiny medal on their wall!

Besides, CC has more than enough "momma's basement dwelling" geeks! The ladies help balance things out! Keep them happy, and quit being a douche about this technicality.

[Squirly]

Total Bullshit.


You TO's should be ashamed of yourself, your Mom's should/would be proud.

[DoomYoshi]

I support this tournament.

No spots were reserved for any particular user group. all persons wishing to join posted publicly in this thread and not through daze's inbox from what i have seen. there was ample time for anyone to join (6 days of open spots) so it's not like daze had a list ready with people who would join and within the first 30 minutes they're entire user group joined.

It's really bad etiquette to say something is okay then go back on it. let them play

[dragonz20]

what's wrong with a ladies only tourney?... let 'em play! its a game for fun. if the ladies wanna get together for a sleepover and some conquerclubbin', let 'em do it... i wouldn't mind watching though...

[wrongwayrebekah]

You can count me in - I don't know other cc ladies (yet:), so pair me up with whomever - my attendance rate is only 93% from past when I used to miss a lot - but I try to cover myself now when I'm working too much so I'm more reliable. Thanks!

When I granted dazerazer the original permission to run a female-only tournament, I chose to allow it because of its novel approach. I knew of the existence of the female-only usergroup, but I hoped there were also enough females who were not a part of the group in order to fairly participate in the tournament. However, I did not foresee that the tournament would become an active recruitment method (intentional or not, that's what happened since I've been informed that a bunch of new members have been added to the group). And I don't blame the group for wanting to add new members.


CC has had a LONG standing policy regarding the use of tournament privileges for private tournaments of ANY kind: they aren't allowed. This policy has applied whether the group of people was an established clan or usergroup on CC or just a group of friends/coworkers who had signed up together and wanted to do their own event. The policy was established in part because of the possibly large amount of time the Tournament Directors would have to spend trying to keep track of all of the private tournaments run across a myriad of places on the site (many of them in private). As such, we work diligently to make sure all tournaments using the privilege system have as few restrictions as possible to preserve the status of being a "public" tournament.


Under current rules for CC Tournaments, I have decided that having a females-only tournament would not be allowed. This is because the current roster interferes with the private tournament rule and because then we would have to also allow male-only tournaments. However, as Tournament Directors, we also have the discretion of providing exemptions on a case-by-case basis if we see the need. Because I had granted preliminary approval to the tournament to the organizer and because the tournament has brought some new people to CC Tournaments hopefully to stay, I have chosen to officially grant an exemption for this tournament to be run. I have already granted privileges to dazerazer, so she can start making games whenever she has the opportunity.


This exemption does NOT extend to any other gender-exclusive tournaments that may be in the works or be developed in the future. Gender-exclusive tournaments are not currently allowed under CC Tournament rules and will be locked and canceled if they are posted. However, because of several comments from different people, I am open to hearing a discussion on the topic if there is a desire to write a legitimate and fair policy that covers gender-specific tournaments. If you would like to make a case for such a policy, please post and discuss it in a single thread in the Tournament General Info forum.
