I mean, C is C, but... sometimes stats can be inflated. everyone keeps getting better so i don't think it's that crazy someone can be C and still lose; it's more weird that more people haven't graduated out of DRTL | ||

His games against birdie from the captain's tourney come to mind... | ||

Technically he hit C during the course of the league and previously that's been allowed as legitimate improvement, so technically he should be allowed. It IS legitimate improvement, and TheMarine should be commended, but really, C- is pushing it in itself. C should be the point where a player voluntarily leaves. To maybe answer the "well, he hasn't made it far in DRIT comments", reaching one rank is one thing, but playing and preparing to play in a series is a different thing, especially if there is not much of a difference in the skill level. I dunno, for players like BaBo and rauk who seemingly dominated the D-ranks league and reached C and left, it's easy to say "okay, he reached C, now he should go bye-bye", but even though TheMarine tends to not be as dominating as the players the left before him, reaching C should be a sign that it's time to move on. | ||

Technically he hit C during the course of the league and previously that's been allowed as legitimate improvement, so technically he should be allowed. I don't remember any instances of people who hit C, as in, not C-, being allowed to continue playing. And technically, he hit C before the league started. The first week's lineups haven't even been submitted yet. For the record, 'technically' I'm fine with TheMarine playing in the league. I voted "No", assuming that this is a league for D Ranks or borderline, which he clearly isn't any longer. However, if he is allowed to play, just change the name of the league, because it will be the final nail in the coffin of this league pretending to be for D Ranks. IMO this at least shouldn't be a big deal, regardless of which way it goes.
