I´ll just draw a line in the sand here guys
In short the discussion started last year (or actually the year before) - because it´s the same teams that are chosen over and over again.
There was alot of people who wanted to change this - In short there are two routes to go:
Forced (ie. you have to choose teams from "pairings" or brackets where they are placed after perceived strength) - this is the one Afroman suggests. So why don´t I like that? Well first of all don´t force people to choose certain teams. Second some of the teams attending the EB use the total points gotten at the event as a qualifier for next year. Therefor another way is needed and our suggestion is this. It benefits both those who like the "usual" strong teams and those who are willing to take another team as they find it good enough due to that extra skill. I have PM´d those captains (or representatives for the captains) I could remember and asked for the opinions of themselves and their team. This is what people find fair. It is not so much about "I don´t think that a team should get help as they are supposed to be that way" discussion. That is more of a "seen from a roleplaying view" discussion. There is (near) concensus on the fact that something should be done. The discussion is what. It might well be that it won´t be possible to agree on a rule system and then it won´t be changed. But lets discuss the cons and pros of this suggestion with valid arguments.
Cheers guys
