Why not give more people an opportunity to play TWL?
And the bots have been sited as going down mid game as the game continued manually, thus, the scores are needed so they can accurately be put into the TWL site.

Dabram has a point but too bad its already in the rules, and these rules NEVER change!
2.02
Code:... Twelve squads will be chosen with requirements based on both TWD standings, including but not limited to, both Rating and Average Opponent Rating. ...

re
make LB top 8 teams, because cmon the only thing people want to see is dice vs pandora anyways, and this also allows for best out of 3 within playoffs. But keep lj/ld at 12 squads, because alot more competition there.Leave a comment:

From pascone's post in some thread not long ago I remember he said 12 squads will be invited to each league. I think this is a bad idea but also on the twl site it says: "The exact number of squads that are invited to participate depends on the amount of competition and demand in a specific division".
Well the demand this year is very low, definately not 12. Especially for TWLB, right now any squad who can play 15 twbd games will qualify for twlb. Letting in any squad who meets the qualification norm, will obviously make the regular season an absolute bore, not only the good squads but even the slightly average ones will be able to qualify for the playoffs no matter what..
Imo the demand isn't higher than 8 or 10 squads at most. With less squads you could also change the format. Let the top 4 of those 8 or 10 go to a second round in which they play against each other one more time (thats 3 more weeks). The best two then go to the final, which should be a best out of 3. This way we'll see who the real champions are, because the finalists have played each other in 4(5) games in a season. Aswell does it only take 11 to 13 weeks, without having the 5-6 weeks that tires down everyones motivation for TWL. At least for twlb this would be a better setup then letting in 12 squads of which half is unable to compete (no offense to anyone). But also for LJ I'd advise a few less squads, 10 seems to be a better number. Only LD seems suitable for 12 squads since there's always been more small competitive squads in LD than in the other leagues...Leave a comment:

10.13 applies more to LD and LJ now that LB is time race.
10.06 is kind of odd, though. You'd think after all these tests Pure_Suck and/or one of his underlings would have fixed that by now.Leave a comment:

Why do these rules are still there?
We have bots to count the score.Code:10.06 ... Players who are substituted are strongly encouraged to stay in the arena until the end of the game or else their score may not be reported accurately.
Its timerace not pointrace(how can hiding in arena be rewarding?)Code:10.13 Hiding in an arena or refusing to fight, will not be tolerated. If a player is found to be hiding or refusing to fight, that player will be warned. If the player does not comply within 60 seconds, the player will be specced and given a score of 0 points and may be substituted if one is available.

If the situation presents itself, it will be investigated. Until that happens, don't worry about it.Leave a comment:

This is probably the most ambiguous statement of all time:
"Note, if there is a situation where squads are playing weaker squads to gain points and their average opponent rating reflects this, they may not be invited to TWL."
Honestly wtf does that mean. Sounds to me like this is how that horrible squad known as Spastic will remarkably qualify for some league or leagues that they suck at which is basically everything.Leave a comment:
