If it's not money you can use in any way, except bragging rights in the top 10. There are no issues.

well I bet normally and I like that because it is not a contest for "chips" only

this is about taste too, while I would like to see betting in here even on your version, however less interresting I think

i agree it's less interesting, but actually bidding with real money you can spend will ruin the game. People will find way to exploit it and then you'll have another problem the BB's need to solve.

Flagchase is just about flags... yet you see a lot of people participating in it. No one really is getting anything out of it, does that make it less interesting? It's just something for fun. Flagchase is not even an official BB feature.

Another example, you'll see a lot of player spending hours upon hours playing arcade poker for fun on the internet. They don't seem to mind playing with virtual money they can collect just to compare with other players.

I thank you for this solution - if there would be any financial issues, "chips" could make things right.. maybe there could be any advacement which you could buy by chips (something like supporter which do not affect a game) - but that's the idea to make this arcade mode more interresting

however still I don't like to see arcade mode, it's my nature, maybe I'm gambler, but I don't like unreal things where you can't lose anything.. anyway that's not a problem now

..problem is to develop this system to be fully automatic, this idea should to come now from anyone

mmm it is pretty easy to make an game like that, with an external web page ... If it just for fun and competition, you need just one admin and one of the tipping webopages to do so :)

Maybe then it's not integrated but the fun should be the same, and you could advertise that in the forum for sure.

Would someone want to start such a thing, I'd ask a BB before beginning with it. I'm not so sure operating other web-sites using the BuzzerBeatername, or other of it's aspects is permitted without their permission...

when someone wants to integrate it in this game however, I don't see anything wrong with it.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

normally you could add a tipping round on plattforms like that:

http://kicktipp.de/

You had to add the result and the games manually, but this works and ain't so much work if you like it.

And i'm pretty sure, that it gives a lot plattforms like that, i had played at two others already where i know the gamemaster adds the results manually.

ofcourse you can always use any site to insert numbers (results from games and results for the participants like their money and stuff) as long as you do not use the name of BuzzerBeater or anything else which links to this site or game. In this case no one will procecute you.

But let's say you start a website and add all kinds of stuff from BuzzerBeater, like for instance it's logo or so, or refer to this game it on your site. Later on you start to make money from your site because it took an unexpected positive turn, or in an other case, it took an unexpected negative turn. This could affect BuzzerBeater. The possible money you could make is partially because of BuzzerBeater...
For such things like these, which are always unexpected (well not always, but you get the point) it is safest to contact the BBs before starting something up like that to see if they are okay with it, and what you can or can not do...
Just trying to be safe here.

i think at a plattform like that, they are more happy about the free commercial ;)

Maybe with the just BB related website, you should ask before especially if you make commercial etc.

Edit: if you make a page for that, i would try to ask if you could import the games autmatic :)
