Any objections?

[dantski]

I guess our team name is decided then!

I *cruisering* huge shitload of objections. A TO forces a team out. Wow.

[shinco]

Get one more team and play division format.

playoffs baby, playoffs.

Maybe actually get a team with more than 4 players then. You're currently on the cut list unless we somehow reach 12 teams.

If you do actually get a real roster though, then some other team will be cut. Next in line is rodekill's team.

i'd rather see unbalanced pools than see a team cut, personally. there is a still a week of registration though, so we could possibly get 12. and do not cut rode's team... that is a legit team.

[grim]

No use making the tournament longer (would also mean bye weeks) for an obvious forfeit team. It was such a gargantual headache last summer.

[adrenaline]

ya i was referring to rode's team. by all means, cut falcon's team.

[homer]

Still plenty of players not on teams, just have to put some *cruisering* effort in to recruit.

Falcon's team is cut? Over Gru? Over Rode's team?

Lol... All 3 teams have the same amount of players... I don't actually see a difference except that Falcon's team is the most active by games and rode's is the least active.

Reference for grim because apparently you didn't read this earlier :
mwc2012.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=210&page=1#2288

So, apparently, you want to exclude a new player from the tournament, and completely throw away a team, that's really nice. I'm pretty sure excluding teams from a tournament is what the QRs for, and I don't live in New Mexico but I logged on macabre's computer when he was still living in Massachusetts so by OM's standards, he is me.


Also I don't see the point of weighted QRs at this point, plenty of potential upsets due to the so called *better* teams not showing up with anyone in the QRs. Not to mention, why call it "Qualifying Rounds" 10 years after QR rounds were necessary, when it's actually pre-season seeding games for the tournament bracket.

Objections stated.

I WILL HOST MWC INSTEAD OF GRIM. LET US RID OURSELVES OF THIS TYRANT

[homer]

HERE HERE!!!



IT"S TIME TO STOP TALKING ABOUT DOING SOMETHING AND FINALLY DO SOMETHING!!! ATTACK?

but seriously just tell those idiots with 4 players on their team to get more people to join their team, this requires actually talking to people and asking them to register.

[par73]

they have 5 on their team homer, grim is just the idiot who can't count and/or likes to listen to what mna_OM says

REGARDLESS GRIM, BY YOUR RULES,
i could just play for 'my team' and remove 'myself' from the roster and use the MACABRE account for falcons team while substituting for 'my team'. however i won't be doing any of that and i won't be using that account.

so while i could get the password to the macabre account by simply asking; i would much rather have grim acknowledge his achievement of a history degree while skimming by his math courses.

[homer]

well my point is, with effort these 5 player teams could have 8 players each.
