That's nice for you. Not all teams have that big of a range (like ours for instance).

The only thing you could do to change that is to have a draft at the beginning of the season. I think it's worked alright until now. Yeah I've lost every single game, but I've enjoyed playing and that's the point.

Due to community backlash and the messages I have received, it is to my dismay that I am stepping down as organizer of Rookie Team League. It was a great honor and privilege to host this tournament and despite my inexperience, it was one of the most enjoyable and enriching experiences I have obtained through Brood War. We have had great attendance. When I first erected RTL many people were suspicious that even half the teams would show up. And here we are, with 11 active teams of the original 12. However, despite that, the league did not run as smoothly as planned. Mistakes were made, and although we've made it to page 28 on this beautiful thread, almost every single page has a complaint. It has been my mission statement and hope that every player in this league has had fun, but no longer can my incompetence as an admin to make decisions be allowed going further.

Unfortunate is my departure from something I worked quite hard on, but there is nothing more I want than to see RTL conclude at week 12 with everyone looking back and feeling like time was well spent being in this league. I have never understood the pressure and work this commitment took until I put myself into the position head first. I spend several hours every week watching replays, updating the wiki, and talking to players. I realize that every decision I make has close to 50 eyes watching me. From the players I let in, to the map pool, to more difficult situations like disconnects. And no matter what I do, I cannot please everyone.

Going forward, I have selected someone whom I think can admin this tournament better than anyone on Teamliquid. They do not have a lot of experience under their belt but they possess very strong qualities that I think qualifies them. This person is a hard worker, sympathetic and understanding, level-headed, and works well under pressure. It is with great reassurance that I say this league is in the best hands. Their word will be final and I hope any changes they make to this league will be welcomed with open arms. Thank you everyone for your time and participation. I cannot express how much fun I had organizing this and watching the casts.

And now, I present to you, the new leadership for Rookie Team League!

If no one picks you up and no team needs you badly for activity's sake, I think I can speak for my team and say that we'll take you. Let's give it a few more days to see if anyone has major activity issues.

One of our players is busy, and another seems to have trouble showing up at the normal time for the league. It would be nice to have a back-up for worst-case scenarios, and of course you will get fielded as well
