PGL Contracts ?

[BaSheR]

Will PGL give out contracts to top teams so they stay in their gaming league like MLG ?

[PGL]

PGL will eventually be sponsoring their top teams, we already work closely with the top teams in the league..... another thing we are doing is bringing in sponsors not to just look at the league but at the players as well, giving them more opportunities for sponsorship

Being a fairly new league however we have to separate our elite teams and players and we have to find out who is in this league for the long run and who is going to make a name for themselves

[WaffleCake]

Maybe at first you should give out contracts that pay for travel and hotel costs.

this is a good suggestion WC

[TuElite]

For players, contracts are the most important thing. Wayyyy more important then prize money.

So yeah starting small but at least helping the players is definitely a great idea to expand the league !

[Perfect]

i think that paying for the whole flight would be a little expensive with the rise of gas (flying is effected too)

[RoYaL1&2]

I think a hotel or minor flight sponsor would really help some people and is the main problem why people can't attend. I'm positive their are lots of people on these forums that would attend every PGL with a little help:cool:

Contract Me Yo

yea i think that getting more sponsors to look at the players is a big help thanks

Yeah kyle has been bugging me to get the private jet for PGL use but i don't want to dirty it.

We do want to help get out BEST players out to as many events as we can and when more $$$$ roll in give more.

[Gronntrain]

key word BEST
so lets see some skill

[Perfect]

why not for the first "contract" just pay for 500$ of the flight to the next tourney. and for first people to get should be people that just totaly domonate.

[ridersaddiction]

Cause for the first few tourny's we had one team dom and then for the next few another team. We want to figure out which team really is the one that should be getting the first $$$

[BaSheR]

We should have an event where all the best teams of PGL can attend that can prove who deserves the contract

[ridersaddiction]

That will be the year end finals if we can get every team we want out to it. THe points each team gets over the year helps them place for the finals.

[Jpizzle]

Oh fine, ill let you guys sponsor me.

Do the Year End finals In Regina. and if not in Regina Winnipeg because its in the middle of Canada that way it could make the travel time for the teams less.

says the guy from Regina.... lol....... nah Im pretty sure the finals will be in Vancouver

[WaffleCake]

says the guy from Regina.... lol....... nah Im pretty sure the finals will be in VancouverWell that's pretty damn inconvenient. Shouldn't it be in Toronto where there are more people, more gamers, is easier to fly to, and is in the middle of the country, among other things? Don't be fooled, it is called eastern but it's really in the middle.

yea but we think that Toronto gets a lot of publicity, they get MLG as well every year, so they get that big tournament as well, we would like to spread it to other cities to give them the chance....... we are going to host the finals in the biggest gaming city and prolly be able to change it up as well..... so we will give Vancouver their chace to show if they can host a finals, if its not going as well and the other cities have bigger turnouts we will host there instead....

Dont to vancouver then its long ass trip for kids from ontario and qubec if you do it in winnipeg. it is equal travel for BC and Ontario and Qubec

[BaSheR]

seriously ontario is the only place that has the right to hold finals in anything of gaming. Half of all the MAIN TEAMS in PGL are in Ontario so that really is bad that you put on the other side of the world for them. I agree with whoever said put it in the middle like regina or manitoba but NOT VANCOUVER.

also this year for convenience purposes, seeing as how I personally have to drive all this equipment to every location it helps doing the whole east at one time....... whereever you guys want the finals for next year though its easily doable......... its your league, i just put all the info together to build it

[Argyle]

Toronto final, as I will not among other will not dish the $1000 to go to BC if im not going to get it back 100%, Toronto has the most teams that is why it is getting the most publicity

[TacTics 5]

k first off i live in winnipeg, just so you all know. AND as you could assume i would love to have the finals in winnipeg. but not just because i live here, as EVERYONE is saying Vancouver would be a bad place to have it as anyone who lives in Manitoba or anywhere further east is pretty unlikely to show up as it will cost way too much. I think putting it somewhere in the middle makes the most sense, probably Manitoba because it is right beside ontario (where most gamers are) but is also close to regina (where i know there are lots of other gamers) + there are good players in Winnipeg. Just please not Vancouver? :)

[ToTsY]

if PGL is going to end up sponsoring their top teams, similarly to MLG.. maybe not this season, but in the future.. then it wouldnt necissarily matter where it was because the top teams wouldn't have to worry about the cost nearly as much!

[keithington]

What about sponsoring Guitar hero players or Smash players? Can't forget about those games too.

[ToTsY]

i would assume those would happen as well.. maybe not right from the start because halo would draw out the most people... but its definitely a fair idea.

[ridersaddiction]

Depends on the city, but Halo doesn't always draw out the most people. :D

really? that actually surprises me..

where do you get more people for other games?? out west?

[ridersaddiction]

GH3 holds it's own.

[ToTsY]

GH3 holds it's own.

thats actually good to hear... because im going to be holding a local tournament with both GH3 and H3..

[IronMind]

Halo>GH>Smash

[keithington]

True enough. Although it would be cool if they just sponsored the winner of the last tournament for GH and Smash so they could defend their title as top player for that game.

[TKS x SLICK]

just a random thought how about u give the winning team of one event a discount or something for the next event.

ex. The 4v4 team that wins PGL T.O will get free entry to the next PGL Event.

That already happened for Ottawa aswell more then 1st was promised free entry to the next event.

Normally what we do is give only the first place team/person free entry into the next event but only in that event.

So lets say you win 2's you will get free entry into the 2's event at the following tourny. You would still have to pay to enter 4v4.

do i have to pay for the 1v1's

[ridersaddiction]

NO you don't

[BaSheR]

NO you don't

why not

[ridersaddiction]

I dunno seemed like a fun answer.
1v1 hasn't been confirmed yet so i don't know.
IF we have it you will have to pay cause it will be a very limited number of spots.

[MrTwiggy101]

1v1 is personally one of the most interested things to watch next to 4v4 matches, I don't know why it would be limited or possibly not even in the next event?...

[ridersaddiction]

Last time it was done more for bragging rights. Like all our games if there is enough interest it will be there.

[BaSheR]

i think i shouldn't pay anyways because it feels like i got ****** on the money anyways whatever

no scratch what i said i was going through some angry phaze my bad

[blackchrom3]

i think the finals should be in winipeg or rigina so its eiser for us bc kids to get there

[BaSheR]

i think the finals should be in winipeg or rigina so its eiser for us bc kids to get there

stop thinking of yourself random

[KRAZY]

Either Vancouver or Toronto because they are the most popular places in Canada and you have other stuff to do there besides halo.

[blackchrom3]

well just becasue toronto and montreal have the biggest population dosent mean you cant make it fair for the rest of the people, like if you have it in regina or winnipeg its half way for everyone and i think thats the idea to make it fair for everyone

[TuElite]

I though that for an up and coming competitive league like PGL the goal was to get as munch GOOD people as possible to show up and promote the events.

Have it in Regina or anywhere on the west coast and none of the actually GOOD teams will show up, and less people from the general crowd are going to show up either.

I can only think of 2 good players on the west coast :o.

lol, yes because Regina is on the west coast and not in the middle of Canada.

Whats with thinking everyone is bad who lives to the west of Ontario? Basher was running his mouth last night about this too. (No disrespect intended Basher.)

Highlights got a point, PGL Montreal has an outstanding amount of teams signed up so far...

As for players skill, Hockeydude99 has to pay the same entry fee as Walshy so what does it matter?

[TKS x SLICK]

Now that u guys have moved the opener... i think that the finals should be held in T.O. Probably the most ideal place to have it... Or maybe somewhere in the middle of canada so everyone can try to go, but what popular city is in the middle of Canada?

[TacTics 5]

Winnipeg = home of possibly 3 teams?
Also Winnipeg is basically the reason why manitoba is slurpee capital of the world. thats a deal sealer right there. (cream soda slurpeeFTW) annnnd last but not least.. its roughly in the center of Canada. My vote goes to Winnipeg for PGL playoffs, mainly because its in the center of Canada (roughly). (and yea i do live here.. so theres some bias to this reply. although it makes sense?)

[Scanlan]

Honestly, if you want PGL to get bigger, stop asking for it in a small city.

First off, no one will go. Second, It would never get press coverage except for small local media. Third, no attendece and no press coverage = no intrest from sponsors and PGL pays for it's prizes itself... once again.

I'm saying it right now, PGL will get huge once it hits a major hub like Toronto/Vancouver/Montreal. The site has already gained 400 members in the last month since it's anouncement of a tourney in Toronto or Montreal.

PGL must become mega huge before it goes back to a city like Edmonton/calgary, in order for the fan basis to follow, sponsors to be interested, national coverage offered, pro contracts signed... it's that basic so stop being greedy children.

Get a job, save some money and take a trip to PGL.

Ya I agree with Cheeky, some of the East coast kids are so cocky its amazing. Personally there are two places I think the championships should be held and that is either Toronto or Regina. Toronto is a big city and its not to far from the center of Canada. While Regina is a smaller city compared to Toronto it is pretty much in the center of Canada and there are so many Sask. PGL players and teams that it would be a good turn-out. Honestly if PGL wants to call an event a Championship event sort of like what MLG has with Vegas then they have to fly the top teams to wherever the event is being held. If they can't get the top teams out their then it really isnt a championship event.

[TacTics 5]

lots of good points being made. makes my winnipeg post look ridiculous. but you guys have got me convinced, winnipeg is just too small, and there wont be enough media. just wishful thinking i guess.

[CheekyMonkey13]

Lol there's no point to this thread, almost everyone is simply naming thier own city...

I think that PGL should wait and see what teams are going to be eligible to enter the Championship event, and then choose a location that is relatively close to the majority of players eligible to play in the championship event. That is if PGL is going to only allow top teams to play in the championship event, if they are going to allow anyone play then the event might as well be held in a place that had an extremely high turnout.

Did I ever beg for PGL to come to Montreal ? Did I even suggest it ?

Nope...

PGL should ALWAYS be in Toronto IMO. All the top teams and the GOOD players live close to Toronto.

everyone knows all those west coast pgl teams were bad and they make up excuses they cant go just get a job go to pgl so you can get raped. btw why do you think none of the west coast made it out of am? hmmm think about it. AND dont post saying why dont youguys come over here because the event is in montreal genius

no.


good people make spectating interesting.. but take MLG for example.. if their goal was to have only the best teams compete... you wouldn't have much of a tournament... it would take all of a few hours on one day... the best teams would compete because hey... thats all anyone cares about, right? the best teams?

and as much as you'd like to think you're on the top of the list... you're as much a randy as everyone else here... and although PGL is trying to do something great in creating a unique league up here in canada.. the fact still remains that even the best team in canada has never placed higher than 16th at an american tournament (AMERICAN... NOT INCLUDING MLG TORONTO. THATS IN CANADA.)

so why does it matter who comes out to the events? if PGL wants to grow then the first thing they need is LOTS of people... no matter what their age or skill level... that way they get known and their name spreads through word of mouth..

also, im aware that many of you are gunna read this and have some annoying comment ready to post.. saying how bad i am at halo.. or at life.. or whatever... but unfortunately for you.. i just don't care about your opinions.. because like many of you, although you fail to realize it.. i have better things to do than try to better my life through video games..

so.. for anyone who reads this.. this is probably the last you'll hear from me..

Cheeky. ur awesome... take 1st at a tourney this year for me..
Seth. you better get paid for what you do someday..
Toad, Verbal, Fuzzy, Teknis, haha.. well.. the rest of you i've played with.. thanks for great games.. despite my connection.. hopefully i'll keep playing with you guys because its a lot of fun..

CYA.
