Yeah Leaguegaming is awesome and I'll go as far as to say I wish our community would have joined that website instead of creating this one. What's done is done now though so meh...
Leaguegaming is several years ahead of NHLGamer any way you look at it. I mean, they have a smartphone app that allows you (among any other things) to take game stats through OCR! In my opinion NHLGamer is never ever catching up on the technological side of things and there's no point even discussing it. On the organizational side however it should be easier to go towards implementing some things like:
- The power structure is clean and well defined and they are appropriately staffed. And yes that means there's a lot of people involved. To be honest their community is a lot more involved than ours. It's only the 3rd time I'm advocating a better power structure on this website guys. 10 more times and it might finally happen (like the division system lol).
- Their rulebook is stupidly big but also beautifully designed. No need to take the entire book (more like fucking encyclopedia) but some parts of it, sure why not?
- 3 tournaments per year
- The equivalent of their CanAm tournament, which would be I guess SWE/FIN/Other tournament for us.
- A tracker for player infractions and bans and all that.
- A LOT more media content. Like, weekly podcasts for each division + written articles by several different people for each division.
As far as I know there is no interest among European players in the classic LG league format which is very different from club tournaments (but of course now LG also has club tournaments on top of their classic leagues).
