I've noticed more and more companies are getting involved in tournament play and as such are finding a need to recruit more of those players specifically.

All companies are currently limited to one recruitment post and that can make it difficult to get the message out that a company that has been considered casual for an extended amount of time is now looking for competitive players. There is also the issue of the current structure of each house and clan having a separate sub-forum, then the merc-corps with a forum. This makes it difficult for a player looking for a competitive minded team to locate the right fit as they have several locations to look then wade through numerous threads trying to sift out groups that would be a fit.

Could we get a recruitment sub-fourm of some type that will allow groups that are specifically targeting players looking for a competitive team to join up with? I believe this would help the companies send out a targeted message without feeling they have to segment their current structure and also help players looking for a competitive company find the right fit faster by making it easier to see all available options.

+1 to this, and by competitive I believe the OP means teams which are geared towards community run tournaments, as opposed to teams that are playing completely casually, or preparing for Community Warfare.

To such teams that notion of faction affiliation is pretty irrelevant.

I agree. It's a different mind to run this then standard play. Thing's like Run hot or die. Do not fit in with most large groups as a whole so outside members must be found. The MWO forums just are not set up for that right now and this would allow for the events to become bigger and better. This would add more spot light on MWO. Things like Twitch tv, NGNGs pod cast, and even YouTube videos. I see this as a win for PGI and it's players.

This is a major factor for any group that has both casual and competitive players. It requires skill to achieve the various goals of different types of players. This is a suggestion that would go a long ways to hitting those goals.

I agree 100%.

This is not a place for recruitment

Yeah, a sub-area would allow for groups to meet their needs concerning competitive play without being confusing or seeming to send mixed messages when those needs differ from the unit as a whole.
