1911 Beta

7 man teams, rotate the 6th betwen the 2 last picks. And i already said it would require a list.

well youd have to have a set number of who would be down, then a roster limit like 8 or 9 to see how many teams there would be. really bad players would end up probably being backups,...or starters depending on who is down to play

See, thats the issue. You cant have a draft system and expect remotely fair teams with that view on it. It would end up pretty much with the teams that exist now + maybe a good player mixed in with bad ones if they are lucky. The winning team would be known before it even started. Why bother going through the trouble if your just going to replicate current teams?

Thats like not expecting the same people to be together in 12mans over and over. You will end up with 1 or 2 teams that manage to get more of the better players. You have the mental stats, and the 12man knowledge of most of the dod community thats active. Why not have a group of active people arbitrarily make teams? Mixing the bad players like stamp and blackhawk in with the good players like tox and austin? That way you can basically force a relatively even playing field instead of hoping you dont get fucked in a picking order in a draft like system. Of course this would require a list of whos down and acknowledgement of "ill play regardless of who im with" from everyone. No switching, no refusing to play because someones 'so bad!', etc.


Personally i think that would be fun.

yea something like that, i think it be fun to play with a bunch of diff ppl

or could do a draft of some sort then a tourny afterwards, could be fun i suppose

we should do a tourni where every player is given a rank based on skill and teams are selected to even the odds so shitty pug players(like myself) get the chance to play with players better than themselves. might cause players to realize not every1 in this game is a fgt. just 99%.

im down

i like the idea. it would take a lot of work, and structure, but it could work. if we had 6-7 servers up and running at once, with 4-5 "admins," we could knock it out in a weekend. i figure that is when we would have the most players and teams available compared to mid week. i imagine it being very similar to a lan tournament structure, only online of course.

Matt Rogers is in my dreams.

everything is made from dreams

Seems like a reasonable expectation on the time frame.

See what teams would be interested in playing. Rank them accordingly. Round Robin for playoff seeds. Double elimination. Whole process should take approximately 8 years.

anything is possible

8 weeks again would be perfect imo

Not on the very first but we did on the following...

You didn't do double elimination?

We tried to do this here in SA when we had 16-20 teams... It didn't work out because the losing teams ended up losing their interest on the game while they were waiting for another season to come. Not to mention that even if you have a good seeding match creation you will probably put low vs high which in most of the cases will make these low seed teams get spanked.

Great input.

Why don't we make a 4th league and everyone tag up [DoD4CPL]?

Would you guys be down for something like this? Of course there wouldn't be any prizes other than bragging rights, but the thought of being eliminated after one or two matches would probably influence some teams to try a little bit harder. Since it would run shorter than a normal season it might result in different pugs being formed for the hell of it.
