eg: I just got owned a three times in a row by a Chinese guy whose max rank was C+ who said that he hasn't played in 2 years after I told him he was good. I can beat D- players without much effort and by fooling around (sunkened the opponent's main in medusa without sneaking it from behind) and it feels like D+ players are destroying me without putting much of their own effort. So I agree with what L_master is doing. | ||

That being said, I support the suggestion made by minsc about forcing every team to field e.g. 3 d/d+ players and 2 C- players. Maybe, it's even worth considering splitting the lineups in some other way (say 1 D-, 2 D/D+, 2 C-) depending on the people that join the league. I'm not sure what the best way to go about it is, but the plain unfair pairings that used to happen quite a bit in the past need to be avoided this time. | ||

1) It'll be much easier to find a solution for the rank pairing idea once teams/free agents have signed up. What is the rank composition of the teams that are expected to sign up? Seems like you'd have to just autodraft d- d d+ free agents to the teams lacking those ranks. I guess as last resort you could swap a c- for a d-/d of another team (but I don't expect people will want to leave a team they've played with for 5 seasons). So... 2) You'll need enough new free agents signing up to balance the teams. I think getting in contact with iccup.Face (iccup admin) to make a server announcement regarding sign ups for this league and making a thread on iccup.com forums would benefit you a lot (moreso the sever announcement). I don't imagine you'll find enough new blood just posting here on TL. Good luck. I wouldn't mind helping organize this in some way if you need the help. | ||

race Zerg max rank C many many seasons ago. I think the league is a perfect fit for my skill level as I've been inactive for quite some time, though I'd understand if you want to avoid a sliding scale. | ||

My credentials include getting 3-0'ed by DarkNetHunter and losing to Birdie's Protoss. I hope these credentials are worthy of anyone looking for some consistent fail Terran play. | ||

People feeling bad from getting stomped seems to be the most pressing concern here, so I think it probably needs to be addressed beforehand. Can they just cry that their opponent isn't actually D rank, and is in fact higher? What if they just silently quit the league after getting stomped by another D Rank player? Strikes me that since the league will be short, then decide whether one belongs in C or D camp prior to the season starts. Then no complaining allowed during the league. If we play another mini-league in the future, then adjustments can be made based on past performance. Mid-season adjustments are always messy, imo. I suspect your last question is rather dismissive of the split idea, but look, while we cannot account for all persons, we can attempt a reasonably competive environment. Rather than throwing D- in the same pool as C-. Some will still quit in the shallow end; we cannot stop that. But that doesn't mean we HAVE to throw them into the deep end. I'm am playing, btw. D/D+ Protoss sGs.Passafist Either with sb or else a Takk merger. | ||
