And I'll also point out that I strongly disagree with your stance in the final sentence. The tournament is legitimized by being run successfully, altering rules because they need to be changed mid-tourney is a part of the process (at least in its inaugural season). We knew going into this not everything was going to be perfect or run smoothly, so there is no sense in standing firm on rules that the majority feel should be changed.
I vote that we expand to 10 guys tonight and play out the rest of the tournament with 10, more money to the tournament and it'll add activity. I think we should have a vote between all the club owners [MENTION=6796]AnthraxDusted[/MENTION] [MENTION=4]Tris10[/MENTION]
I disagree, When money is involved, I think it is important to stand pat during the season and only look for improvements to implement in future tourneys (unless a rule is/can be exploited to ruin the integrity of the tourney). By my knowledge, no one paid before the rules were stated. We then read the rules and decided that they were satisfied and paid the entry fees. What if rules changed midway through the season that did not suit certain people. Would they be allowed to ask for their money back? because after all, they agreed to pay base off the original rules. Any changes break the "agreement" by both sides. With that said, I am all for the bigger rosters for future tourneys.
100% agree with Bardy, you can't change rules after people paid real money for this tournament. Whether it's for the better or not, you should never do that, and it could possibly be illegal to do that depending on what constitutes a "contract" between the player and the website.
Well, the higher ranked team always hosts was never at all mentioned in the initial rules... just sayin'. So if we are going to make up rules as we go that not everyone agrees with they should certainly be allowed to be amended, would you disagree?
I stand and back Nuge's judgement on these matters. He's done a fantastic and professional job getting this league planned, launched and running.
I can't believe this is still a topic. Yes, a roster expansion would increase activity, but they have been firm in saying it will not change. As a owner, you had to take availability in to play just as much as fit and ability of a player. We all knew we only had 8 spots to use. I really don't think the activity is bad at all, we've played 6 different teams multiple times, and all but 3 teams at least once, plus we aren't even half way right? Additionally, you do have a roster move, if someone's never around, I would consider using it.
If the people got this roster rule changed from 8 to 10, then people will be like "Fuck ya boys we did it" then find another rule, lets take this away. No just play this tournament out, it only has 20 days until playoffs, then you can input it for next tournament. It's a work in progress and keep that in mind.
Rules were rules in LG before they took away AGM after choosing owners. If the people want a roster increase, the people should get a roster increase.
If someone wants to play in a fair tournament based on the rules they agreed to at the start, they'll be just fine.
Nuge your doing a good job. These tourney games have brought some life back into the eashl community again. The next tourney will only improve and keep growing until 15.
