Firstly, Congrats to all the guys in this team that have earned a promotion!! the two diamonds especially, you guys were in plat i think at the start of the season, and are now up in the top 20% of players! that is such a great achievement.

However, it raises the question whether those in the top 20% of players should be in. I for one am pretty happy with them playing, as they have started in our competition and are part of tier 5!

Other suggestions in the thread are attempting to place restrictions on the upper end of the spectrum, to limit to 1 diamond 1 plat, or 3 plats etc. From there, we start restricting more and more, and it gets more complicated.

I think there is a simpler solution (and it is just a suggestion) - we return to our BSG roots - and have that two players each week must be silver or below. cause all the teams, especially those that arent graced with the plats (Fusion Slugs, VB, HoH, etc etc) - these teams deserve to play some close games each week. imagine if they had to play against a silver, 2 golds and 2 plats - it really isnt a BSG competition. At current we have the following rules:-

1) must swap 2 players each week
2) must not have more than 2 players above gold each week

Suggested Amendment
I propose we add the following rule:-

3) must have at least 2 silver/bronze players in your team each week.

Most of the teams in the league actually comply with this rule each week - but it sorta prevents the supposed BSG from turning into a silver/gold/plat or even a GPD tournament where the bronzes and silvers will never have a go.

Consequences of Amendment
To be honest i have been thinking about this for a while - i know that we in zerocraft were going to attempt to field a full gold plat team for our game against Mixed Lollies. I think that a lot of the gold plat heavy teams (and Zerocraft is definitely in this category) will have to get some youngins to comply, which i think is good thing. Imagine if we see in the BSG threads on sc2sea (which i think are the least active forums) something like "Zerocraft recruiting silver/bronzes to finish SEACL!" other crews are in guilds etc, but still i think it can work

Once again, just a suggestion. no matter what happens tier 5 will continue to be awesome (and i will continue to write). Whatever the Admins decide will be great.

Once again grats to everyone that got a promotion!!!! i know for 1 it has completely messed with our next few week strategy with players lol
