After great deliberation (was thinking about this all night and morning!) I have decided to exclude Masters League players for this first season of the Community Ladder.
The key reason was that after exclusion of the Masters League applicants, the participant numbers very nicely tallied to 20. Other reasons of course include the subjectiveness of the decision that I feel uncomfortable doing, etc. So rather than deliberate whether 40% WR is sufficient to include or a 45% WR, the easier way would just to exclude all Masters players.
I always hate rejecting people and I apologize for this situation, perhaps you can suggest ways in which I can include Masters League participants without toppling the balance of the ladder too much next season?
Nevertheless, I have placed you guys under the Waiting List, and if anyone falls out of the tournament for whatever reason (MIA, etc), I will slot you in, assuming there are no other non-Masters League players on the waiting list.
For the participants/those who still want to participate!
Confirmed participants have already been updated in the OP, those without Skype please do provide! Frogmite, Blaze, Rhubaarb!
And if you still want to sign up, STILL LEAVE YOUR DETAILS HERE because we do have a few forum lurkers in the signups and I'm not sure if they will actually follow through with their games.
I've already generated the fixture list and will be creating a separate thread shortly, once I figure out how to draw a decent table. The event will commence as soon as that happens! I will send out a PM to all participants too so don't worry!
