I volunteer Ixador to captain a squad but lets handicap him by only giving him a roster of 5 people.

I've been bogged down with work and well.. holiday depression haha but am legitimately interested in this and thank everyone who is going to make it happen! I'm more excited about this than any I've ever been about TWDT or even TWL (maybe not as much as TWL.. it's close) past or future, this is great stuff! Again, thank you all so much and wish everyone a happy holiday season, cheers!

You have 80% of the good players in the zone you fucking nerd

says the guy that plays sheltered games on stacked squads for the past 5 seasons. "fucking nerd" lol

and isn't the point of this to bring competitive squads to actually have "TWL" calibre games? or we just adding another version of draft league with a fancy title?...

[Geio]

Is this going to happen? If so I'd likely try to unrust somewhat for the first time in a long time

Yes, I'm in the process of writing everything down with the help of Doughnut.

Its not a bad idea in theory! I always welcome more ideas.

Well I allow myself to give my opinion, I know you are aiming for a competition of the maximum level of competitiveness so do not worry I do not want to embed myself, I would just share some ideas to avoid problems in this future competition. I would like to put the point on the most important problem in my opinion, when a player is missing and therefore you must borrow one. And I find a solution, which allows in addition to keep a maximum level of competitiveness.

Already, it seems that you are trying to replicate the level of the defunct TWL, namely the best plays together, in restricted rosters, and thus a small part is found at an exceptional level, creating a disparity with the other teams. I do not consider it a problem, on the contrary, all the professional competitions takes place like that. I think it would be a good opportunity to somehow insert a D-League in the competition, I'll explain.

Either nothing changes, just if we have 10 teams, I think it would be good to cut them in half, so 5-5, to give the status of D-Team to the lowest half, and so put a borrow authorization system only between a Pro-Team and its D-Team. In fact, I take the example on your team, EnvY, if you miss a player you can only borrow one in the D-Team that you and your team have chosen. And you can lend them players if all your players are present, so all players of the best teams will be guaranteed to play. And it also allows to have a very good schedule, for example if you make 2 matches per competition per week, you can do against a D-Team in the first match for a Pro-Team and against another Pro-Team in the second match , so the schedule will be of the same quality for everyone.

And so your playoffs will look like your dear TWL, and there will be no problem playing with a restricted roster.

The best players will be satisfied, and the others will fight for the chance to be borrow in the Pro-Team affiliated with their team when they miss a player. I know this system will not be in place but at least if it can give you ideas.

can someone organize this? I'll talk to others on Cobra about playing this too and see if Ricko etc are interested

I think dudgeon could make come back for few weekends. Zizzo/Mikkiz/Micke/gilder/nokkonen/dreamwin/Sakke/maketso. Probably would need to borrow 1 good shark to be competetive in base

[kentaro]

Could be a viable Option but I'm more along the lines of 10 man roster force people to play other ships. If your worried about activity, Don't recruit or have those guys on the roster. For me its either 10 man or 12.

lets just do a seperate basing cup and just a wb/jav one

Envy got the 10 most active people in TW trying to flex their activity muscles....RELAX.....but im down for w/e

[Geio]

10-man roster seems super sketchy, assuming alot of people aren't super active. you'd see 1 powerhouse squad with the 10 tryest of hards, and then the remaining squads struggling to show 8 in a basing match

unless there's some room in the TWD backend to have a TWL style "confirmed" list, where you could have a squad of whatever size but every week you have to "lock in" 10 players who will compete in the matches that would count?
