  • Ranking squads

    Ok, let us first look at our ladders. TWDD: 22 squads. TWJD: 24 squads. TWBD: 16 squads. Now, I know most of you watch soccer or hockey or some other sport. You ever realize the teams there, when talking about qualifying for World Cup or some other competition, are divided by ranking into groups? Wouldn't that be a great idea to do with the TWL qualifications as well? Let me ellaborate on this.

    First of all, before TWD reset and the beginning of TWL qualifying phase, people would play TWD. Right. 1 day before the reset, the teams would be ranked 1-24 (example!) and given the seed. For example, Mellow is #18 on TWDD ladder currently, which means, they get to be 5th seed (if we had groups of 6). Then we would make a draw where each group would have 1 top seed (Fierce, Real, Flame, Gun, Fluke and Soul), 1 2nd seed, 1 3rd and so on. Then the qualifying would begin.

    10 games would be played during this time, each on Sunday, so approx. 2 1/2 months (which is how long TWL qualifying lasts normally). Then, the winners and the 2nd placd teams of each group would get a ticket for TWL, while the 3rd ranked ones would battle it out for the top 2 spots to qualify. The remaining teams that wouldn't make it to the TWL, would then play in the TWL-Amateurs League, which would be hosted same time as TWL (Sundays). That way, every squad willing to put time and effort into TWD and TWL qualifying would get a chance to taste TWL, even if Amateur League. And there, TWL pros could look for newcomers/talented players to recruit for next TWL. Oh, and the winner (and maybe the 2nd placed team) of the Amateur League could be granted a pass to next TWL.

    Sure, I'm talking about this from Mellow's point of view, but many people here play a lot of games, but we're not stacked like Fierce or Real, we just have many active people, willing to play TWD on a daily basis. Plus the groups thingie has been bugging me for some time now, and I really like it, so why not try it?

    So you're suggesting 10 straight weeks of 50-0 blow-out games for the #1 seed? Sounds like fun!

        Then shorten it. I didn't say it was a perfect idea, I just said it was an idea. Or just do 5 games, which would take us 1 month and 1 week. Is that too long 2? What about qualifying and groups? any thoughts on that?
        Or maybe do TWL for all squads and rank them in groups in TWL. There are many aspects to consider, you guys just need to give your opinions to help improve this league and to let the majority take part in it. All it takes is a little contribution. Contribute!

          TWD is for the majority, TWL is not. Actually, it's not for you at all, stop posting in this forum. Go report a few more staffers.

                It's not a bad idea and would be healthy if able to execute. The problem lies with attendance, other zones such as Hockey Zone have tried it and although some teams consistently showed enough members to compete it ends up dying due to no-shows. I haven't been super active but from what I've read on forums last few years it seems that even in the TWL we hold now teams end up being replaced due to not showing enough members every week. If we can get something like this to work it would be great though to introduce new players to competitive play.

                  I somewhat agree with Jack,

                  and at the same time 'shame on you veterans' for just burning this guys idea down, be nice to players like this they have started playing this game and just want a chance to participate in higher forms of play.

                  My recommendation to Mellow is to practice. Practice hard, recruit some gamers, work on teaming and maybe you guys can make it this season.

                  Always analyze your game in a constructive manner after you play a round. Then discuss some basic strategy, try some new things out that might help

                    Tnx, Harder. Ye I know there's the problem of people not showing up and squads being replaced by others. But there are some teams out there, who aren't that good yet (due to the fact that they are either training squads or do not have stacked rosters of pro veterans) but would still like to play competitively. I'm not saying TWL should be a must for every TWD squad, am just implying that every serious squad should get a chance to prove its worth somewhere. That's where the group qualfying and the Amateur League come into play.

                      This is not a new idea. This was done back when TWL was played in a different zone. We had two tiers of squads. With the better lower tier squads moving up to the higher tier. Just dont think there is enough player base for something like this to happen. Only thing you can do is set up a amatuer tourny and maybe the winner gets a auto qual into twl next season for the league they won?
                      2 time TWLD runner up.

                      If not a medal, cant I get a Ribbon??

                        That's what I'm implying, kk. Best 10 qualify for TWL, rest plays an Amateur League or Tournament and the winner gets a pass for next TWL. Is that so hard to make?

                            Well i can see where your coming from and that idea will be great (like premiership style- div 1/2 etc) but we dont have enough activity yet. The main focus should be about improving twd- make it more enjoyable/ addictive/ make it easier for new players to join a squad/when zhs answer new player calls, they should invite them to joining a squad- forward this to any cap who's online who will tell them how to join. Big key is being very friendly to new players. The more players who are interested in twd- the more activity and competition there will b for twl. On the twd website- on the roster page- plz order the players so that the longer they have stayed on a squad the higher they appear on the roster list. On the squad profile, mayb have a live chat box for members to talk offline (only members in that squad can see the chat). Hmm maybe introduce pub bux to twd- cash is awarded to winners/ more to mvps... Losers prob need a very small amount of cash too as they might lose alot. If someone could find a way to bring old/ new players hooked to Twd- twl will be more interesting/ b more active and u could apply ur idea mtime
