1) Possibility that we will only accept only 12 teams from each division, to press for competition, and to have a "sturdier" fallback in case one of them drops out *, which will be replaced by a rank 13 squad that won't be that bad.
2) * about the drop outs, we will be enforcing some stricter rules for teams to follow during the season concerning gameplay. Showing any less than 8 for a twlb match or less than 5 in a lj or ld match is the equivalent of a no-show. There will no longer be a period of time after the game has started to add your remaining players, because quite frankly, it creates too many unwanted variables which will undoubtedly cause controversy. Time allocated for the amount of time for the team to add their players is still up for discussion, because the prior 5 minute mark that we used before was never consistent across the board, it was whenever the host started counting. We may consider doing a *timer 10 the instant the zoner goes off.
3) More about drop outs, you get 1 warning for showing any less than 8 in lb, 5 in lj/ld. The game where one team did a no-show will be counted as a pending replay match in week 12 #. If this warned squad ends up being removed in the coming weeks, the team who was scheduled to rematch them will play against the substitute team in week12, and the other team who was supposed to play the removed squad will play the substitute team in week13 (which is also the all-star weekend, most likely at 4pm EST, since the 3pm EST timeslot will be for the replays).
4) We are considering branding squads who last through the entire length of their TWL career to the TWL arenas themselves, if a squad drops out, they will not be shown, and the replacement squad will be placed on the arena.
5) # there will be 11 regulation weeks since our planned 12 teams per each league would mean you can play every other squad once. Ties will be determined by head-to-head only because of this.
6) Playoff will start on week14, after the all-star weekend at week13, which is chosen based off popular demand on the site. Polls begin at the end of week11's matches and will close at the end of week12's matches.
7) More about dropout squads, we are in the works of thinking up of a punishment for the captain(s) + squadowner of the squad (only if he/she is actually rostered to the TWL team), on any alias. Something along the lines of not being able to play for the first few weeks of the upcoming TWL. It is about time that squad captains take full responsibility for the welfare of their squad so that we keep the competition sustained in TWL.
Can't think of anything more atm, if you guys got any other issues, post in these few days to ensure they will be brought up at the staff meeting on Sunday.
