so will season 3 start straight after season 2? or will there be a break?
There will need to be a small break, some other events will may or may not be happening for the BSG community that I wouldn't want BSGCL to clash with. Will also need a bit of time to revise the rules together and see if we can't make things even fairer than they are right now.
It will also be nice for the admins to have a little bit of a holiday
I'll
At the moment if you don't have a minimum team size of 4 then you can't play ...
last week we only had 1 silver and took an auto loss for our second silver player, which was cleared and agreed on by admins and both captains... this seems an acceptable approach to incomplete teams... at least there were a few games and everything was fun!....
Just a note - because of the amount of players in my team in later time zones - the rest of Clanless's games are requested to start 1 hour later - at 9pm... Of course I will talk to teams week to week about this..
Good luck to teams through the last few weeks, pretty sure they are critical for at least, ToR, FaDe B and Clanless fighting for the last two spots (with FaDe A and KA secured spots in the finals..)
Its been a great season - alot of fun! thanks heaps to Frog, Maynarde, Edarus and Syn!! you guys rule!..
TCPkrycek > Hellfyre on Abyssal Caverns TCPkrycek < Falcon on Xel`Naga Caverns Saranghae < Falcon on Metalopolis TCPdeathwing < Falcon on Xel`Naga Caverns TCPorb > Falcon on Shattered Temple TCPorb > Aeon on Shakuras Plateau TCPorb > Fantasyboy on Nerazim Crypt
Well played to both teams; the match ups lead to some interesting games but... Lady luck heard my call and graced us with her presence against an outstanding and commendable team gg to all.
Rezyn < Welshy on Abbysal Caverns
FaDeHalstrom < Welshy on Sharkuras Plateau
mrbadass < Welshy on Antiga Shipyards ZeroAbsolute > Welshy on Tal'Darim Alter ZeroAbsolute > BlackWidow on Xel'Naga Caverns ZeroAbsolute > Flame on on Xel'Naga Caverns ZeroAbsolute > VBPotthead on Xel'Naga Caverns
Can someone from FaDe A please get in contact with me to arrange our replay of matches as required (due to earlier smurfing incident as it is yet to be corrected).
Secondly, as I had a free moment I thought i'd check to ensure the admins / managers had been adhering to the rule instigated about preventing all-killers (players who won 3 or more matches in a week could not play the next) and it seems its fallen through the cracks.
I've checked both season 2 threads, found many mentions of it in the contents but not in the OPs about the season (rules and such).
I'll have a chat to the admins about this one at some stage tonight however since we're at week 8 now I'm guessing this will remain overlooked until perhaps next season.
Most teams have adhered to this regardless (be it by chance or intentionally), however if the rule WERE in effect there would be 4 offending teams with 5 instances of breaching the rule (you naughty buggers!).
Just more of an FYI, if people have an opinion on this rule (perhaps for the sake of Season 3) feel free to post any feedback / ideas below =)

I had no idea that this was a rule tbh... but it does seem like a good idea!.. myself - If possible, I like to have different players out each week regardless, so that everyone has a go. however, with people not showing up all the time and some of the teams with only a few players in their roster.. it will prove to be quite difficult to administer...
Yeah that was one of the challenges we were going to be dealing with this season with all the other new rules and changes to the format etc which were put forward at the start.
This one either was plainly forgotten / overlooked or excluded for a revisit at a later date... Sadly i've been out of the loop since becoming homeless 5-6 weeks ago.
I'll see what the go is, but a funny correlation is - the top teams are the top offenders! It leaves me to wonder... what if... Would the standings look much different with that rule in effect?! Juicy stuff!
Sidenote: The net will be connected (hopefully) by the end of the week for me, so its all systems go for me then. With Syn eventually departing us for other commitments i'm sure my return will be welcomed by the other admins =)

This is a rule that we were considering for this season but didn't end up implementing into the official rules. I agree it's quite good and we'll keep it in mind for Season 3. As you said Chad, too late to enforce this in Season 2 as we're about to begin Week 8 and finals are just around the corner.
Twas me who said it was too late to implement silly!
And coolcool, although I don't remember that chat =(
If anyone actually cares for posterity sake, these are the examples where the rule would have been breached:
FaDe A - Ricochet - Round 3
FaDe A - ZeroAbsolute - Round 5
TCP - TCPOrb - Round 6
Clanless - Incognito - Round 7
KA - Fantasy Boy - Round 7
Again, this is an EXAMPLE as the rule was NOT implemented, I just like to look and think "what if" considering FaDe A is there twice (maybe they wouldn't be undefeated with this rule) as well as Clanless and KA!
Maybe this little tidbit of information will give you guys some insight into what this rule might affect in the competition.

Oh forgot to add (I COULD edit, but then my post count doesn't reflect my e-peen size...), if the rule were in place, the following players would be unable to play this week (if i'm reading the results correctly):
TA - TAEaeron
KA - Falcon
TCP - TCPOrb
VB - Welshy
FaDe A - ZeroAbsolute

in corelation to the above use of all-killers OrB is only used week in week out for tcp is due to the fact that he is our only gold player that shows up would enjoy frog playing but when does he play?..... seriously... :P
