Criteria

[Project]

For entering TWL. I know the past league squads are in ( those that applied ), but how will the remaining spots be filled? Will they be given directly to the highest ranking non TWL squads in TWD? Or will it be like I think ( and fear ), and Epi and crew will be making their own decisions, using TWD as only a guideline of performance.

Hope all of those who worked hard to place in TWD don't get screwed.

Stated MANY MANY MANY MANY times including in the TWL Rules themselves which are posted on this very board...

Replacement squads will be taken directly from the top ranking TWD squads which are not currently in TWL. The best squad will be asked, then the 2nd best and so on (by TWD ranking). We keep on doing that until all the TWL spots are filled. If some TWD squad declines then we move on to the next ranked squad.

By purely doing this by rank it eliminates any possible bias.

What do you do with those basing squads who are good but play against THE BEST and therefor get bad ratings but really they own and deserve a spot.


hmm?

EXCEPT - With all the new squads being created I know of several squads gettting very very easy points.

MELEE4BASE

[Webbb Llama v1.5]

My opinion of Melee:

Melee has good basers (Anon, Randedl, Bleen, POiD, Froedrick).

The problem is that despite the size of their roster, its not very deep. They have 8 or 9 good wbs on their roster, and if they get 4 of those wbs online then Melee is top notch.

But when it comes to basing, Melee has the 5 I listed a above, and not much past that. That isn't enough to be really consistant :/

I have a feeling next TWLD season will have Melee being sorely underrated, but I don't think the same is true for TWLB

Funny how all the people type POiD's name with all the right cases and mine's not =)

It's BLeeN =P

[ZeUs!!]

You think that pisses YOU off?

[BLeeN]

No, i guess it doesn't

Mantra. There is absolutely no other way to do this without introducing bias. Quite frankly squads should be trying harder to get a high ranking in TWD if they really want in TWL

P.S. Sigh we need your skills to program BLeeN...

Can you feel the sarcasm hanging in the air?

As long as you make some stipulations Epinephrine, like making sure that a particular squad has had enough matches to be out of a proprietery rating. If you take a look at the TWBD ladder, there's only a few squads (melee, onix, Bohemians, Rejected Basers) who've actually played enough matches to have a real rating.
