DF, I'm only saying that my definition of a "stacked" team differs from your defintion. I know there are many others that share your same opinion.
But here's the way I see it, and hopefully everyone can make sense of my example.
I look at it the same way I look at football...you have two teams, they are both on the same playing field with equal amount of players. Sure one team may be more skilled than the other, but its not like the better team is given any special attributes thats gives them the added advantage. Each team is given the same tools, same resources to win. The only thing the players have a choice of is how they are going to collectively use those resources. This is why I never believe in a team being stacked strictly based on skill...
I think the definition of stacked is when you are clearly outnumbered. When you do not have a 1 to 1 ratio in terms of players. Instead you have unbalanced teams, maybe 16 vs 14...15 vs 13, etc.
But thats just me...
