Right now I can be around for this, at least 8:00 to 20:00 EST. If any of that changes, I will let you know.

Not that I'm any good, but hey.

[Watermelon]

Added you to the additional pool

From past experience, leagues with more teams seem more likely to fail than leagues with fewer teams. IMO 8 teams is too many, considering the list of players we have, but it does give the opportunity for everyone to play. Whatever decision you chose i'm sure could work though, good luck buddy.

[Watermelon]

So far, this is the plan (this is an example and NOT the final list):

Tier 1 (defenders or really good runners/experienced players):
===============================================
Watermelon
Semper
Razgriz
Caution
Catastrophe
Soulsucka
Legion
Swiftshot

Middle (captains):
=============
Arman
Tor-bjorn
Infer
JWarrier
Slyfox
Junior
Redshirt
Xaver

Bottom (People who aren't active enough to be captains):
===========================================
Avc
Spider
Theshooter7
Ace
Nihilus
Goliath
Dark Wyvern
Dawson


Each captain picks one from the top and bottom tier, last one to pick on the top gets first bottom pick.

Teams can name themselves whatever they want (within reason of course).

Picks are on July 28th; not being there without a valid reason will cause loss of privileges for captains and replacement with someone else.

Active as in playing on CTF servers ? But it doesn't matter, just curious. :)

Pretty much people who I can always contact on teamspeak; I only put Xaver in the middle category because he's in Euro and will be playing on American servers

I might change it to 6 teams because some of the members in the bottom team are unable to play or are incapable of playing (ping problems); I'll come out with an update ASAP



If I did 6 teams, I might set up something like this...

Defenders/experienced runners:
=======================
Watermelon
Semper
Razgriz
Caution
Catastrophe
Legion

Middle (captains):
=============
Soulsucka
Swiftshot
JWarrier
Slyfox
Redshirt
Spider

Additional:
========
Tor-bjorn
Junior
Avc
Infer
Arman
Xaver
Theshooter7
Ace
Nihilus
Goliath
Dark Wyvern
Dawson

EDIT: I think we may be going with 6 teams, the 2 bottom teams get eliminated each round

[Zakken]

In case you go ahead with 6 teams, I suggest you use this format (file's in Excel 97-03 format). http://www.sendspace.com/file/lmnmid

In Skulltag, Soul wouldn't be a mid tier. Where is the low tier?

[Catastrophe]

I think your original list of captains look more reasonable, just replace redshirt with someone else.

[Samurai]

Uh, I really don't wanna be a cap if you don't mind.

[Watermelon]

Replacing you with Tor

You keep forgetting me Chris

Damn I'm so sorry, added in

[Spider]

It would be nice to stick to 8 teams, unfortunely we will get many people who won't get to play if we go with 6 teams... Just my 2 cents I don't really mind really but more teams to fight it will be more fun..

I think the 6 teams setup is B plan should anything go wrong.

I don't have a choice at the moment. This will actually mean more battles since 3 teams will battle each other (2 battles), the weakest team gets eliminated, leaving four to do 3 battles the next week, and then the finals is for the top position.

At this point, it's just much more stable with a 4th. The IDL ran into this problem, fourths do get played -- I figure it's better to learn from them then to just make the same mistakes.
