TWL Season Seven Qualification

[Escalate]

it really doesnt make sense that TWLB carries the same number of squads that TWLD does. TWLB needs to be reduced in size... i know this for a fact, because solstice is #1 in TWBD at the moment. Believe it or not, that means that any given week solstice could be thrown into TWLB despite the fact that most of our squaddies dont even know what ship to attach to once the match starts. in fact, we hate to play matches with any more than 5 or 6 because its way too much strategy and not enuf dogfighting skillz that determines the winner. i was just looking at the TWBD site and only 3 squads are even above 1000 points. What this all translates into is the fact that any squad that puts together a group of people and calls themselves basers, and actually plays a few games now and then will ultimately end up in TWLB.

I thought TWL was a league for the elite teams in each division of tw. TWDD has dozens of squads that are aspiring to be in TWLD, and it gives TWLD the feeling of a bunch of squads that have really earned a spot through stability and skill. TWLB needs to be cut to atleast 10, maybe 8, to achieve the same. 2 or 3 weeks ago i decided on a whim we should have a basing team and started recruiting anyone who would be active and join...now, after about 10 or 15 dd's later... we are #1 in TWBD and could be in TWLB next week...thats the bottom line.

TWLB is fine as it is now. Maybe TWLD could use expansion? Say 20 TWLD squads 18 TWLJ squads 16 TWLB squads.

Do any of these suggestions even have any impact on anything? I mean are the people who actually decide this stuff interested in reading all these threads picking out ideas thrown in them daily?

[Scoobing]

Isn't that what these forums are supposedly for?

Why is it way too big? I think it was great that at the beggining TWLB was filled with all squads that worked to get into it, and all of which were active. Now some of them left, but that can't be expected, things happen, people change, it would happen if there were less squads also.

Having less than 16 squads or what not may seem like it makes it more competitive, but when you have a league such as basing which is exploding and adding enthuised players to it each and every day, then that competition will be able to stay with more squads and even more so next season when there will deffinetly be a rise in the amount of people basing, not to mention the amount of skill that even the newest people are getting from such events as ?go base, and the rise of people wanting to teach (ex. me ).

Man, this thread made my head hurt, lol

It'd be stupid to reduce the number of squads in TWL unless the population starts dropping. TWL is fine the way it is combined with the plan set out at the beginning of TWL which said some of the worst squads wouldn't be invited back next season

Population and TWL have a very weak relationship. TWL is supposed to be competitive. 16 teams has not made it competitive. At least lower the roster size to 30 if you're gonna have 16 teams. The rules for squads are ridiculous. 16 teams 35 members? You can't have both.

How many competitive players do you think there are in TW?

And many squads don't get past 20 or 25 players on their roster.

Value has 13 or so, Elusive 20, Rampage 25 Focus 20 British Squad has 45 though lol

edit I just checked Value has 11 Elusive has 17 Rampage has 21

I'm talking strictly about TWLB. I have no experience in dueling or jav and thus I cannot comment about them. 35 members in a TWLB squad + 16 squads is not a good idea.

Perhaps we should even cut it down to 25 members per TWLB squad. That allows you to have 3 backups per every position plus an extra one. To me that's even more than enough players to have. This forces teams to concentrate with their core members and forces competition to form in the way of new squads. So I reform my opinion now to 25 membered teams, 16 squads in TWLB.

[PaulOakenfold]

If you're going to do this summer leagues you're going to HAVE to keep it at around 30 members, people's RL schedules are just TOO hectic. If you do these leagues maybe a week or two after New Years, then I MUST agree, keep the squads down to twenty five. This really WILL weed out the active from the inactive, even if they are more nerdy (it just add more competition, enough said).

If you really want me to, I don't mind dueling you. I think you'll learn a good lesson. (Hopefully) Just message me in the game.
