Regular season scheduling suggestion

[veetee]

The idea is to award the squads that qualified on the highest seeds by allowing them to organize their regular season schedule for themselves instead.

So, if the squadron won TWD qualifications, it can arrange all the match-ups among weeks in any way they want to. For example, if Fierce were #1 at the cutoff, they might choose to play Asians in round 1, Thunder in round 2, Dice in round 3, etc. If Thunder ended up #2 at the cutoff, they can arrange all the matches except the one that was assigned by Fierce to be played during the 2nd week of regular season.

You might want to only apply this opporunity to top 5 squadrons that qualified, while other games are arranged by TWL op, unless you wish to extend this idea to the 2nd last seed, which would basically choose only between two opponents/match-ups.

P.s. grammar not taken into account

which qualification time, the first or the second

[Vatican Assassin]

this should make it easier for flared to coordinate games, and is a very worthwhile idea because it does nothing

[Crescent Seal]

another reason to cause more appeals imo

[Heisman]

nonsense if ive ever heard it.

I'm only talking about organising match-ups, not their times. It gives a strategic edge to the squads that were more successful during TWD season. This way my squadron, Sweet, might want to play all the important regular season matches before summer, since some of out starters are going to miss the games in the later phase of the season.

You could try testing it out next season. Perhaps the squadrons may have more incentive to end up high on ladder during qualifications.

oh so this is thread/poll is just to help make sure YOUR squad's best players can show when it's most convenient to them. damn, pandora shoulda thought of this last season when 3 of our best couldn't play lb finals!

Well. I think it could help every squad. Also keep in mind that there were 3-4 squads ahead of us during qualifications in both LD and LJ, so the key matches would be assigned by higher seeds, not Sweet. I just thought it might be an interesting feature for the captains of top TWD teams.

One thing i do agree with is that there should be an incentive for ranking higher on the TWD ladder. Its becoming fairly too easy to slip in top 10 at the last minute.
