You always gotta remember the impact that making rules will have on the tourney as a whole. Numbers have been going down for the past 2 years. There was a time when we had people waiting to be placed in the bracket because 64 simply wasnt large enough. Now we dont even fill 32 some nights. There needs to be the right balance struck between rules and the ability for people to sign up for the first time. Even a slight impediment to signing up will see numbers fall drastically I feel. Ofcourse, having smurfing incidents will do the same thing.

yea...rules have been strict in a bid to curb smurfing which we still get complaints of...tht or players dont deserve to play in the BSGs...i think if we acted on every complaint we get, we'd be left with 4 players

in all seriousness tho, numbers have fallen drastically and i don't blame anyone other than the fact that scII atm is an ageing game that a few of us still play (i once told some of my course mates that those who still play sc2 are part of a small elite group of gamers ) and/or IRL commitments...

i hope that the fact that now explats and diamonds from 2 seasons ago are allowed to play will increase the player base somewhat as well as games played requirements will force 'active' players on SEA (who may i add are not really that active...20+ games by season end really?) to actually ladder

And yes, there will be some repercussions to opening to explats and dias but the idea is that coupled with the minimum game req, they may get promoted along the way. Besides, don't you BSG players want some form of challenge at the least? :P
