I had a crazy idea, and I was wondering if anyone else has already thought of it.
What would you say to a Steam Group, where people might be able to participate in weekly(-ish) tournaments, wherein the top five or ten competitors would win a link or a "ticket" to a giveaway?
Whoever offers the giveaway could nominate any Steam game with some kind of leaderboard function, and specify the time limit, whichever rules they chose to enforce, and how many "tickets" were available for their chosen giveaway. They would then create an Invite Only giveaway on Steam Gifts, and send a private message/email to the winners with a link to it.
Whaddya think? Does that sound cool?
I just love trying to beat leaderboards. And I think it would be more fun if there was something to win for it. And giveaways would be more fun if you felt like you earned them.

If this thread gets a decent response, I suggest a Dirt Rally league for our first giveaway. It's a great game, but I'm getting a little tired of the AI being a bunch of infallible gods, and desire some worthless human opponents.

Oh, you're only here for the giveaway?
Fair enough.

EDITED for clarification.

To be honest, I'm just here for the giveaway.
Hey! Where is the potato option? Oh. Nevermind. I found it. It is this one. This is the potato option.

I think it would a cool idea, as long at it wouldn't turn into weekly detmaches in fps games :P I know you ateated nothing about fps games, and I like your idea with racing game, but since the creator of GA would be able to suggest game I think it would be a matter of weeks until someone would suggest some fps game.

Anything that gets people playing their games and having fun with them is great, IMO :)

It's a good idea, but I don't think it's my kind of thing. Regardless of that, I think it's good! :)

I though some time ago about site with giveaways, but with points earned by playing poker or something like that, or gaining best results on some of games. So your idea is quite close and I wish it could happen :D

The idea is good and all but it'll work within an active group and everyone willing to participate. You could always make your own group and recruit with that as being one of the unique things to your steam group.

Interesting idea and leaderboards you say. Leaderboards systems are sometimes at fault, you know. I've played for example Half Minute Hero and some of the best times on leaderboards are 0.00 seconds which is impossible to get without cheating. It should be a leaderboard game with some active cheat sweeping system. Also lately Guns of Icarus was bundled once again, it's decent team multiplayer game, worth to think about it.

Would love to see it in action, and also if there is a game you don't have to play it, you can always just join the next one :D
