worldboard.com

This idea is for a website of competitions, where users can create and enter competitions and upload content to support their entries. All submissions will be judged by other users and ranked on leaderboards. These leaderboards will exist for each individual competition and also for locations. By entering location data, users can be ranked by country, city, state, province, prefecture, town or village, among other possibilities. At the root of the site and serving as its home page, is the "World Board," which ranks all contestants on the site regardless of location or competitions entered. The ranking system works like this:

Submission scores are used to rank users on competition leaderboards, while their world score is used to rank them on location leaderboards, including the "World Board." In order to qualify for location leaderboards, users must be entered in multiple competitions, and competitions are not valid until they have multiple entries. In addition, each competition may contest only one trait or skill. Other than these, the only further rules are that competitions must not break the law and must comply with basic standards of decency.

All my attempts to create this site have predictably floundered, and I am hoping someone with greater skill than I may discover this page. If the project interests anyone, I give my permission, for whatever it is worth, to use or discard any of these ideas and only ask, with no authority whatsoever, that the basic premise of the site be retained even if everything else is thrown out.

funnyrunners.com: My simplest and stupidest idea, a video hosting site dedicated to silly running styles.

iwasalive.com: An anticipatory obituary directory where users share their life stories, leaving a curated account of their time for posterity. I feel this could find a niche among more concentrated narratives that are typically not otherwise collected and displayed.

socialite.com: This is a group-dating website, where friends form "lineups," or perhaps "squads," and then browse and select other such groupings of the desired sex to meet up and socialize with. This seems to mimic how groups of friends meet in unstructured situations and would hopefully take some of the formality, and reported discomfort, out of online dating. It seems likely this idea has been taken, though as usual, I will neglect to confirm that.

draftandfollow.com: After doing some actual research, it seems this idea may be original. I want to create a competition solely focused on scouting and drafting, with winners determined by the eventual success of their selections. As opposed to other similar games, users are solely testing their scouting ability, perhaps aiming to outperform the professionals that incur their scrutiny on a yearly basis. I have either not found the corner of the internet where this exists, or the service is not yet provided.
