TWL Week 7

[Nickname]

all star games have been weak in the past, and I wouldn't recommend them, but i'm sure we can think of something to do for a week off.

Something along the lines of having a huge DM with TWLD only squads for birds and LJ only squad for javs (you'd need an uber arena) LB is trickier, perhaps LB squads only in something a little strange, like a 1 day tourny where you have to play 1 person in each ship (1 wb, 1 jav, 1 spid, 1 terr, 1 lanc etc etc) OR have a gigantic arena with like 5 frs and have a 30 or 45 minute game most points wins. That would be so laggy though.

Ya what happened to that event on Sundays when every twl squad played in it and everyone had their own box. That was some intense shiznits and I'm currently unsure where it ran off to.

TWL-DM. Requires a map update, and some staff or 1 really dedicated one to coordinate it.

Allstar games would probably be more of a sucess if it would be held somewhere in the middle of the season / b4 playoffs. Only reason they always suck is its after the season and no one cares about a useless game then.

But the major downside is nethila, u have now 16 squads, Lower 2 will get no wins, 2 above that have 1 win, so on. So if u cut down 2 12 squads, u will still have those a lil worser 2 squads unable 2 get a win. (argument was made before somewhere)

Also if u cut down to 12 squads, the lower ranked squads have nothing real 2 play for..

But who am i

Again u underestimate us, Wingmasters > Quiksand in my opinion

As i stated before, its not about the records, its about how close the games are and the level of play. You can have 6 squads and you'll still have 1-2 with horrible records, removing squads will definatly make it more entertainin and more competative.

More attrative and entertaining, well u wont have more good games with less squads

The best squads eventually will meet anyway

Now u just have some less good squads that enjoy TWL aswell running through
No1 forcing u 2 watch

heres my idea for next twl:

cutting down teams to 11 or 12 teams per division. This solves 2 problems:
1) dropouts. as you all can tell, most dropout squads are those squad that kept on losing and just couldnt hold on anymore. by cutting down the number of teams to 11, or 12, it instantly increases the competition level, and also, there will be no 'weak' squads anymore. thus sharply decrease the dropout amounts.

2) 1 conference. everyone play each other.

Hey Neth, how did you feel about the idea of having TWLD/TWLJ run separately from TWLB? I forgot if you commented. You can still do 12 teams, 1 conference, 11 games total. And by having them seperated the time slots are even more open than before (should have 1/3 more time slots).
