i was thinking on changing the format a bit, so youd have to race each team with weapons on and off, but thats something to work on a later date, dont want it to be too many races.
what made this awesome the first time was it was very quick and easy. (as supposed to coordinating 2 teams from half way around the world to meet at specific times )

I'm in and need a double.
P.s remind me about this I am terrible at keeping up . I've still not done a green race yet. I hate having to work as these events allways on when I'm working

Good luck OBH, I tried to start Xpand league, like double ladder, but easier & more flexible. Season two is playing this summer with just 4 teams.
It's hard to create a solid league, I think it's not a good idea to multiply events.

@kaori
maybe we should join forces?
@brainbeat
i found doubles matches much, much easier to sort out, as long as your partners online the same time you are, your already half way there

This seems to be spiraling out of control somewhat now, no? I mean, aren't we supposed to be re-inventing this league into something simpler that will make folks want to join up and stay interested? Because many of the scoring systems/rules/formats that are being considered so far have been complex and confusing (to me, anyway), with some even leading to what was once intended to be a team-driven doubles league turning into anything but. Crikey, after reading Saturn's proposals I felt like curling up in the fetal position and crying to mommy. No set teams? Random teams instead? That would mean no amusing team names, no strategizing, less camaraderie and no rivalries. And if there's some teams that are virually unbeatable and always at the top, who cares? Isn't that how it is in all sports? I mean, what would baseball be without perennial contenders like the Yankees and Red Sox to hate on? I don't mind not having a shot at being the best, as I will simply strive to be one of the best of the rest. Seriously though, it's all turning me off a bit now...this is supposed to be fun and I feel like it's being taken a little too seriously and that a little too much thought is being put into it. As far as the scoring, I think we should just use the simple 1,2,3,4 (low score wins) or 4,3,2,1 (high score wins) format and call it a day. I'd really love to see this league come to form and really take off, and I really do appreciate the intentions and efforts of coordinators like OBH, but I fear that if we don't just use the K.I.S.S. method (Keep It Simple, Stupid) then it won't last. Just my 2 cents...(more like 5 cents, but anyway....haha) Take it for what it's worth. (not much, I suppose...lol)

Simple 1.2.3.4 (& 5.6.7.8 if 3-4 teams) is the easier, I think we should be agree for that.
We have to do this league simple ^^

No, you didnt imagine it. Uber and I decided that we will double up, this was discussed a few hours ago with him. He's happy with the arrangement. If Kieran1888 (my friend a i affectionately refer to as Keeza) needs a partner for doubles, I got someone in mind... just need to check with them
