[Sigia-l] data intensive interface for competitive gamers

[lee sachs]

Greetings all, 



I'm working on a site for hard-core, online gamers.  The likely user is young, male and computer savvy.  They are serious competitors; some are even (gasp) professional.  The games are primarily Xbox 360 FPSs (first-person shooters like Halo2, Ghost Recon, etc.).  (The site has no gaming intrinsically.  It is purely driven for community and competition.)  My focus is the competitive side: site features everything from team formation to drafting to scores, standings, ladders, tournaments, seedings and so on.  The standard community components are established: blogs, chat, forums.  



I'd like to hear from people who have worked on any sports or fantasy league projects.  I'm also interested in hearing from anyone familiar with competitive, data-intensive UIs.  Lastly, of course, hard-core gaming IAs are welcome to chime in too (no fragging!).  You can post to the list or contact me direct: coolpillows at yahoo.com.  Thanks in advance!
