EPTBold isn't a concern, because if the C player failed to show up, he would be replaced with a D rank player and/or match would be rescheduled. That was the inflexibility I was talking about when referring to Eywa and running the E-A league. If a player of one rank didn't show up you became significantly more screwed.

So you'd replace a C rank player with a D one? lol so you give them a free win just because your player doesnt show up. good plan. If theres a C ranks league in the works then im sure they can wait for it. Cause this is ridiculous. | ||

Not pairing a D ranks player up against a C rank player lol. My IQ is actually a little north of 40. im sure they can wait for it. Cause this is ridiculous. It's already clear at this point from the voting which option we are going for. However, and this isn't to single you out, I wish people would have actually read and understood what why Cobalt and I made this suggestion in the first place. Even mentioning "waiting for the CRTL" tells me you didn't really read fully why I proposed the one C rank match idea. It has very little (albeit not zero) to do with tiding over C rank players until CRTL. | ||

D Rank vs D rank D Rank vs D rank D Rank vs D rank D Rank vs D rank D Rank vs D rank D Rank vs D rank C Rank vs C rank If any of them don't show up and the match doesn't get postponed then the team that didn't have a player show is going to be down 1 set, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT'S A C RANK OR NOT. So when you say "It's dependent on the C rank showing up" no it isn't, it's dependent on the entire team showing up, same as always. It's not hard to find a C rank or two and would mean only 6 D ranks games which helps teams which have small rosters. I can't think of any negatives beyond "It's supposed to be a D Ranks Teamleague". | ||

This is my thought. No one seems to have a rational objection, other than "it's supposed to be D Ranks Teamleague/We have always done it this way in the past." Definitely sticking with the poll results though, even if I feel like most people aren't stopping to actually understand/consider what they are voting for. | ||

D Rank vs D rank D Rank vs D rank D Rank vs D rank D Rank vs D rank D Rank vs D rank D Rank vs D rank C Rank vs C rank The teams would need more than 1 C rank player, cuz if one team's C player shows up, and another team has a really spotty C player, than thats free points to the other team... | ||

Then you really could replace the C- guy with a good D+ if he's missing. (eg. the D+ is like 2999 and has the one really strong matchup) And maybe that could be only reserved for people that became C- while playing this, or players who were C- in ancient times. Dunno. | ||

Lineups are presubmitted. If any player does not show up the other team gets a walkover win, regardless of which of the 7 sets it is. Example: Courage vs Stealth Bunnies Birdie vs Prophecy LCC vs Nagisama Roy vs ZNF Arca vs Sentenal ... vs ... ... vs ... I'mYELLOWSB vs CRankedCourage If Roy doesn't show up, and nagisama doesn't show up, and CRankedCourage doesn't show up, then the score before the sets start will be 2-1 in Stealth Bunnies' favour. Only if the matches have already been agreed to be postponed, or if the teams agree to postpone games on the day, will that change. This isn't like the All Kill Teamleague where lineups are given on the day. We have to submit lineups on Thursday I believe, several days before the actual match day. Of course it's ideal to have at least two C ranks players, just as it is ideal to have at least 10 D ranks players, in case some of them are "spotty" as you put it. But the rank of the players doesn't change the effect of having a spotty player, or a no show. | ||

Definitely sticking with the poll results though, even if I feel like most people aren't stopping to actually understand/consider what they are voting for. I'm more or less neutral on that particular issue, but I can point out some "difficulties" with it to say the least. One is we would have to recruit enough C Rank Players to stick into every team, and also try and "balance" this somehow. In my experience at least, there is a huge difference between C+ and C-. Another is this is sorta last minute, which compounds point 1. Another difficulty, having 6 matches for D-Ranks means that teams need to be even bigger than before in order to have enough people every week to fill a roster. Like, if we assume 7 or 8 is the minimum for 5 sets to be viable, then for 6 sets that would require 8 or 9 people on the team. Which is a problem for the smaller teams, although maybe at this point we might not have to worry about that...? Not sure what the situation is on that front. Additionally on this, for the D-Rank matches, we assume the team size needs to be larger than the Set-size, in order to have available replacements every week. If its just 1 C Rank player on each team, with no replacement, then that seems like it would open the door for a lot of walkovers. | ||
