We need more guidelines and a star cap estimates for rookie lines and elite cores. Right now it seems like everything is very ogrons opinion based. I really think we need rating based specifications in order to get some more team submissions going
As per current wb cores:
1. Rage -- RaCka(10*), Lockdown(10*), Turban(9.5*) = 29.5 wb star core
2. Dark -- Siaxis(9*), zidane(8*), ogron (8.5*) = 25.5 wb star core (average of 8.5 stars per player)
3. Phoenix -- saiyan(10*) vys (10*) , *UNKNOWN* = 20* so far with 2 players, they can have anyone as their third as they only need 5.5 stars to hit 25.5 stars form an elite core of 3.
If you set out the [B]guideline[/B] that a 3 man elite core for jav/wb needs to be a minimum of 25.5 stars at an average of 8.5 stars per player that automatically would put the Paladen core into a non drafting setup:
5. Paladen -- Jessup(7.5), J-B-Inc(7.5), Pawner(7) = 22 star core.
As they do not meet the minimum threshold of 25.5 stars to be considered an elite core they will not be considered as a 3 person elite core but they are welcome to put together a non-draft line.
Now as I said what we REALLY NEED at this point to get the ball rolling on core submissions is clear guidelines and instructions on how we can begin to submit non-draft lines. I've gathered you would allow non draft lines to form with 7-8 players, that's a start, but what is the highest level of talent we can allow on these non-draft lines?
You said the star cap for wb/jav is likely gonna be the strongest team + 16 *'s
For wb currently its 29.5* (racka, lockdown, turban) + 16*s for a star cap of 45.5.
If we made the star cap for a non-draft line in wb 42.5, that averages out to 8.5 stars per player slot of a 5 man team and is still 3 stars below the elite core draft cap of 45.5 and can account for the advantage of entering the cup with a fully formed starting line with a few sub options as you suggested a roster of 7-8 players.
There are tons of mid rated players who would only want to be drafted by an elite core and win with them because they don't have confidence in their abilities to pull an upset vs strong players and want to be carried to a title.
but there are also a lot of mid rated players who would want to play with players of equal skill that they have synergy with and still be able to put together a line that can pull an upset.
I think these cups have the potential to have more than 4 competitive teams per division.. if you give the community some more guidelines, the teams will come.
