idea that wouldn't really work

[pascone]

what if for qualifying for twl you needed an mininum average opponet rating...unsure what that number would be but people always complaining about 'newbie squads' getting into twl... but looking at the ladder most squads are in the same general bracket...just an idea

[milosh]

well seeing as how most people are worried that we won't have enough squads to fill TWL this season... i don't think they so much are worrying about making stricter rules to get in

There are plenty of squads in TWL-D this season, not really TWL-B, but I agree, there needs to be some sort of reason that squads can get into TWL, I mean any newbie squad can dd the lowest ranked squads 500 times and get into TWL. But is that really making TWL better, I would rather have a smaller TWL where all the squads that are in it are squads that earned it. I think that a squad should have to be around before the final reset if they want to get into TWL personally, that shows that the squad has atleast been around for a month or two before TWL starts, I think Roster sized should be predetermined, for instance, a squad when they signup says which leagues they will be going for. WB/jav/base only would be 20 for a solo league, then +7 for each other league they are tackling. So a three league squad could have 34 players max. Also something needs to be done about the ridiculous aliasing of names, I think a name should have to be signed up for atleast three months before that player is allowed into TWL. There are alot of things we could do to make TWL more challenging, but unfortunately I just don't see this happening.

Those two- and three-month rules just plain out suck. They'll just end up in a bunch of "WTF I DIDN'T KNOW IT'D BE LIKE THIS BECAUSE I'M INACTIVE IN THE OFFSEASON" whines. For example -Final- wouldn't be able to compete TWL season 9 anymore even if they wanted to.

is that a real rule.. if so, what about the new squads like Tenure and Volcano, will they able to go in To TWL Season 9?

How about a rule that doesn't allow anyone under the age of 18 to play? :turned:

well there goes 3/4 of the staff

[Arikel]

well there goes 3/4 of the staff

and 3/4 of tw

[Refer]

well there goes 3/4 of the staff

LOOOOOOL

[Jones]

atleast in TWL-D squads who have lower than 1050 ave r. shouldn't get in.

[Ephemeral]

Perhaps, but would it make TW better?

[Nethila]

i know this is gonna happen

when oh when will people start reading those sticky thread that is yelling "RULE UPDATES, READ THIS YOU DUMBASS"... if you actually read that, you'd realized we said that the ave R on the twd ladder will also be a factor when choosing twl squads..

[kthx]

Well Nethila, if "I know this is gonna happen" then you shouldn't be getting mad because you already knew it would happen. Unless of course you just used horrible grammar while calling people dumbasses, and meant "I knew this was going to happen"..

I believe one of the better ideas has been to have two tiers for TWL to encourage competition. I don't believe there is a lack of squads for TWL or even two TWL's (lack of stabile squads maybe). Instead of having 2-4 squads always going 1-10 in leagues, make two different tiers for WB's and Jav's (not enough teams for two basing leagues). The teams that normally go 1-10 in TWL will be able to compete in the lower tier and I would hope that the huge disparity in pre playoff records between the best and worst squad would disapear. I'd much rather have a league where almost every match is competivite than see a whole lot of 50-20 wins and only a few 50-45 ones.

There are a lot of problems with setting something like this up and it has other negatives, but I think it's worth looking into since a lot of people have brought it up in the past. After all, how long did we ask for 2 elims? The arguments against having 2 elims were roughly the same, but eventually the player base grew enough and they decided to make a second elim.

i already pointed out in the other thread that this ave r system is useless, even 1050 r doesnt keep anyone out of twl currently
