Cronus League Week 6!

<< < (2/3) > >>

Guagadu:
Grim Reapers don't show up in round 2 or 3. Unglorious Rastorz show up in their position.

Thomas:
Hm. That was an odd mistake. Fixed it though.

The Cunning Linquist:
Would we rather drop 3 teams than allow 1 clan to have a 3rd team in the league? 

And we're not talking about a sub here, we're talking about the remainder of the tournament.  We're only half way through!  That's 5 more weeks where someone doesn't get to play.  And remember - it's not like it's just 1 team that isn't getting to play.  There will be 6 other teams every week who only play twice instead of 3 times like everyone else.  It seems unfair that some teams may only play 8-10 games over the remainder of the season where as others may play the full 15.  That's a pretty big difference in terms of opportunities to gain points.  Filling the spot seems much more important than the diversity initiative to me.

I understand your concerns about being fair to the teams that were eliminated and I think that is valid.  Maybe a suitable compromise would be to allow those teams to sign up with the priority that they would have had based on when they originally signed up/volunteered to sub?  So if the team that volunteered during week 5 signed up, but then the team that was eliminated before week 1 because of the 10-man rule (was it Helfyre's team? I'll call them that) signed up, then "Helfyre" would get it.  If you want, you could also add that if a third, independent team signed up then they would get priority over "Helfyre" because they don't break the rule.

I guess I'm just trying to say that this isn't a trivial matter and I think it's worth discussing to find a compromise.  I feel that strictly enforcing the 10-man rule over filling the league does more damage than good.  I'd love to hear input from other captains and community leaders on this.

Thanks for hearing me out,

-Cunning

Thomas:
At this point, we don't plan on dropping any teams. It's something we can do, but it's very unlikely to happen unless enough teams want it. If we don't get a new team, then we'll just keep that TBD slot open. It will lose points each week it is not filled and get paired with a new team each time.

If no team meeting the current ruleset signs up by Friday afternoon, we can probably lower the bar and reach out to previous teams that weren't able to participate.

The Mann:
 In the unlikely event that teams need to be dropped.

Team Crazy Bards volunteer as tribute to be dropped due to difficulties in finding covers every week to assist myself, Rex and Elazul.

Plus, we're at the bottom of the leaderboard so we will not have an effect on the current event if needed to be dropped. the team with TBD can have a teammate while the teams above crazy Bards can be shifted to accommodate the missing team as well as Crazy Bards who were going to be with team sundstrom.
