Twl roster limits suggestion

[Nethila]

this is what im thinking:

seperate twd roster and twl roster

there will be no limits for twd roster
however, when it comes to twl. Squad captain must submit a roster of 25 (this number can vary) to the twl ops/sites. And only those on that roster will be allowed to play twl. If let's say one of the member on that roster leaves, the captain can be able to replace him with someone. But there will be no swapping allowed.. for example playerA is on twd roster and playerB is on twl roster. The cap shouldnt be allowed to swap these 2 around, Take B off twl and add A, then next week Take A off twl and add B.. etc. Or there will be a roster lock that applies to these kind of swap, as for the first 3 weeks, the captain are allowed to do changes on the roster, but after the lock, no swapping allowed.
Roster lock applied last season can apply to this twl roster. Soft-lock and hard-lock..etc.

TWL rosterlimit is fine.
TWD rosterlimit is nonsense.

If a squad has too much players some will leave eventually if they want to play in games. If not, as for the inactive or dont care players, they wont be any thread since they are not interested in TWD anyways. So what I am trying to say is: rosters will sort themselves out anyways. Just give TWL a rosterlimit and thats it.

[Cig Smoke]

put in some limit, but leave squads that are currently over the limit exempt to the rule, but unable to recruit more.

it just means they have to choose between keeping their old players and recruiting new ones while not penalizing them directly.

or maybe do something like that in regards to people who have been on that squad for over a specific amount of time? (6 months? a year?)

Thats what i was trying to say im just not good with words. If there is a roster limit of say 35, and ppl want to keep there old guys who dont play then it will keep them from recruiting every guy who comes up and gets noticed. If they want to recruit then they'll have to get rid of a retired guy.

Neth: i said that b4 last TWL season. make a roster page for TWL and for TWD. Let TWD be unlimited and TWL be limited to whatever # theychose.

[Desperate]

Yes for TWL limit.
No for TWD limit.

[Kawrae]

No TWD limit, No TWL limit

NO NO NO !!! No point !!!

Its just... NO! lemme clarify: it would not help anyone to set limits.

[Cig Smoke]

Yes it would. We dont need squads like Kinji who had like 70 ppl on there roster in TWL.

[bloodzombie]

Yes it would. We dont need squads like Kinji who had like 70 ppl on there roster in TWL.

But you don't have any REASON for that other than just being pissed that some crappy squad has 70 people on it. If they cut their 35 worst people, would they go make a competitve squad?

Everyone should just worry about their own squad

[Divine Rides]

what the fuck are you talking about? you're going to tell us how many people on the roster we can have? Big rosters mean less playing time for everyone- if this is just about you not being able to recruit, maybe it's because your squad is like sucking ass to be on. Don't fuck with our numbers chump change, people who want to be on our squad want to be on our squad and we shouldn't have to limit our league roster for anybody.

[Primordial]

Roster limits are fucking stupid .

[Cig Smoke]

We've always had roster limits for TWL. Its not like this is something new just coming out. Plus for basing 35 ppl could make a decent squad. If they are active they can get good with time. Look @ RB, BC last season. THey werent considered to be that good till they played 5+ BD's a day. I just dont see any need for a squad to have more then 35 ppl on there roster. Even if there is 10 inactive ones. They can stay on TWD.

[Fit of Rage]

chump change

:up:

[Sesshoumaru]

1 dueling division (j or d) - 18 players (3 lines and 3 benchs/innactive)
2 dueling divisions (j and d) - 25 (almost 3 lines each)
1 dueling (j or d) + basing - 30 (+- 2 basing lines + 2 dueling lines + bench)
1 basing division - 22 (almost 3 lines)
3 divisions (j,d and b) - 35 ( +- 2 lines each + bench))

I like this idea. But only for TWL, the TWD roster should stay untouched. For those of you who don't see the benefits of this idea:
TWL matches occurs each weekend in TWL season. A squad in only one league and with a roster of 25+ players will have a tremendous hard time making sure everyone gets a piece of the action. Even if they manage to spread it out and let everyone play a match, each player will have played a maximum of 30 miniutes a month in TWL matches (that is if the match lasts that long). We are also ommiting the fact that captains of squad want to win and they will keep putting in the same lineup over and over. Upon not being picked more often, players will start to leave their squads. Some start to have problems getting into other squads and some have problems with roster lock. So in the end we have about 8 squads with these huge rosters and with a crap load of people that never get to play, and then we have they other 8 that are struggling to get people to come to the matches, which is why we had so many forfeitted matches and squads dropping in the middle of the season. I don't like this idea for the fact that it will increase the number of avaiable players for other squads, I like the idea because I want players to get more play time in TWL. Another easy thing that would that: increase the number of rounds per match, make it the winner out of 3 just like in TWD.
For those that were bitching ferociously about the idea...
Divine Rides - Pallies: 3 leagues, 39 player roster. Fine make the max for 3 leagues 40 players.
Fit of Rage - Disoblige: 3 leagues, 38 player roster. Same as Pallies, make the max # of players for a 3 league squad 40.
Awesome - Pirates: 2 leagues, 26 player roster. That's pretty close to the max schope set for a lj/ld squad(25), no need to bitch so much.

I hate when people are so freaking afraid to changes, if we never try new things we'll never know if they work or not.

Sesshoumaru, sure theyd get more "PLAY TIME" with smaller rosters (or thered be less people to rotate), in theory.

but whom is anyone to say that wed have to ex kick out people just so we can play twl.

who we want on squad, and whom wants to be on squad (whether they play or not) is our business, noone elses.

so kicking people off roster to "balance" TWL wont work anyway.

i dont see the harm in having a squad with 60 people, if all 60 want to be on said squad.

[Jeansi]

I haven't read most of the replies but here's my suggestion:

TWD roster limit: 50
TWL:
Out of all your TWD players, you nominate 10 players for TWLD. Only these 10 can play TWLD in the squad.

Then they nominate 10 more for TWLJ (can be the same, or different people). These ten are now eligable for TWLJ

Then nominate 16 players that are eligable to play TWLB (double the lineup).

What do you think?
