Either C- players can play, or they cannot. Since there are several C- players listed in the OP, I'm assuming the former. | ||

But note, it would change the situation entirely, we are not in that position whatsoever. We're basically in that position, in that it would be Arca and probably TheMarine running the second team, and the members would be new people to sB, so in that sense they're not longtime friends. | ||

Probably will disappear again near end of Sept. | ||

Also, Birdie, to your point about having 8-9 teams, obviously, that's what happened DRTL4, but look at all the walkovers that happened and the entire NW Power fiasco. I'm pretty sure most of us can agree on the fact that the league isn't really focused on "getting D-/D players to get better" anymore. We're all out to win, which is a fair goal to set, but lets not put out the bullshit excuse that this person or the other person wants D-/D players to come in here and have a merry good time losing all day long to D+/C- players, and improving enough overnight to beat said D+/C- players the next day. As Echo said, Lmaster should finally set this in stone; players that have hit C-, or are very close to C-, are allowed to play or shouldn't be allowed to play. Goes for TAKK, for myself, for Lmaster himself, and for everyone that plans on participating. | ||

1)Two teams captained by different people with different, set rosters is acceptable to me. That's perfectly reasonable, and doesn't set a bad precedent as I see it. There is nothing wrong with a team becoming too big and fragmenting into smaller teams with seperate captains and rosters. 2)Wala and Panda are definitly not eligible to play. I'm probably allowing previous DRTL players to play for the sake of keeping the league in tact, but definitely not allowing in former yellow ranks or new yellow ranks...even if they have been inactive. | ||

I haven't actually confirmed that there will be two teams, this was all an idea, and it somewhat relies on me finding three more players. I have too many for one team and not quite enough for two, I'd suggest you wait until we find out if I can find enough players or not. | ||
