Number of Qualifying Squads for TWL

[renzi]

Lets make each league 16 squads each, that way everyone can have the 35 man roster they want, because we all know no squads are going to try to play three leagues even if they suck in two of them only to have 20 extra twl roster spots :/. Increasing the squads that qualify for TWL might let more people play but at the same time it makes the competition of TWL that much less and takes away the entire point of striding to make it to a twl squad after playing/practicing for a long time. Diluting the competition so that AZN_Pubber362 and his squad DragonWarriorX can play in TWL doesn't make anything better.

this may be true in some other scenario, but regarding letting 10 squads be in lb, this means just letting sweet/thunder/diso whoever is out atm in and im sure those squads have at least a decent top line. so i dont think theres any diluting competition if 10 squads were let into lb this season

well it doesn't matter what I say anyways, it would be hypocritical for me to disagree with the poll of the population of the zone so.

just dont have enough people. twl used to be exclusive. but now with only so many left, havent got a choice.

This here is key, but not the way vys presented it. TWL should allow more squads in. minimum 10. The reason is entirely because the population has lowered. Get more people involved in the "only" thing people care about in this zone. This is not the time to be picky or elitist, if you want that you could just make a small tournament for Sweet, Thunder and Fierce and see who wins TWLD, inviting 7 more squads will just make it a snooze-fest, but you don't see us complaining about the competition until now.

One of the good things last season was - despite a 0-9 score - Penetrate is still alive and kicking and has improved in warbirds ever since. Not to mention, they are highly competitive in another league, and this is in my opinion key. Get more people and/or more squads involved in all 3 leagues.


I vote 10.

I agree with this 100%. Pene showed 5 every week, and had some competitive matches. They're better now than last year. TWLD was competitive last year, and while the field of squads is a bit weaker than 2010, I think the "worse" ('less good' would be a more accurate turn of phrase) are better (Paladen, Pene, etc.)

The only dominant squad right now is Fierce -- all the other squads are winning and losing to each other fairly frequently.

I can't speak to TWLJ or TWLB, but LD is definitely able to field 10 squads like last year.

It is disappointing that the top 4 or 5 squads seem to still stack their rosters, however.

Paladen was in a much better position to be competitive, but with TWL looming inactive 'vet' squads are poaching our active talent --ie, Sweet taking Madara from us gains them little but does a huge amount of damage to our limited number of birds.

You Should Be Worried If He Was That Important

TWL is already rare as it is and by keeping an elitist attitude about who gets in will just kill the competition in the lower ranked squads in the long run, seeing as they will probably just stack on 2-3 bottom-tier squads when their original squad was left out.

No doubt, because we have such a low population, we can't keep strict limits on the number of squads allowed to compete. TWD ladder position and rivalries do not work anymore in keeping odd squads out. It is mostly just a way to pass the time for atleast half of the squads.

I vote 10.
