[Sups]

I'll throw up an idea that sort of blends some of the ones already suggested. What my clan used to do, since we had a large group of members, was split our active squad into two teams (red & blue). The teams were divided so that all members agreed that the skill level was balanced on each side (what we're trying to do here). Each week, the two squads would hold a scrimmage against each other; the winning squad got to play in the league match representing our team. It was a fair method that all our members accepted; everyone had an equal opportunity of being the "Gold" team for the week.

Also, I'm still confused on the tournament structure, but as far as teams are concerned, I believe we should continue doing what Frost has set forth. Let's continue dividing the server up as best as possible so that most, if not all, can agree on the skill balance and fairness of each team.

If we do want to have an "Optimal" team represent the Gold Rush Server, have each GR team scrimmage against each other. Whichever GR team wins is essentially the "Optimal" team for the GR server.

Personally, I don't mind if I'm on the A team or the C team, but I'm worried that there may be some participants or regulars that are concerned if they make the cut for the "Gold" team. What made a lot of members unhappy in my clan (and a few quit), was when we ultimately made a set-"Gold" squad.

Like I said, just an idea.

Though I agree with your idea with the scrimmage and the whole result of doing the "gold" team; I wouldnt say that doing the teams in a random draft method would really result in an optimal team. In the 90's, the Bulls were a powerhouse in the NBA, but they were exactly the "dream" team. Thats why you had the dream team in the olympics and the all star games every year. If you seen my other threads, you should know, or at least what I was trying to make a point of, was that I did not want to exclude any of the regulars and did not like how the tournament was going to a more competitive feel.

The whole draft thing seems fun, and I think it would be nice to change up the teams again later on with a new draft so we can all hopefully play with the other group. But I would say this, if people are also all for a "dream" team scenario, I am also all for it and support the players in it. And though I have been placed in that type of team by a few posts earlier is not why I would support it since I been really off my game the last week or so, therefore I'm not even sure if I even deserve a spot right now.
