The prizes are both $300 for the league and $300 for frog cup its the same, read please
Frogmite informed team leaders about this over a month ago. and yea pinder heres some neg rep in return.
as to the playoff issue its not a matter of anyone wanting it, im fine with whatever people want, of course we will do what the sponsor wants, its his tournament!
The problem here is when we came up with the initial rules and I ran it past everyone in the per-tournament discussion threads we stated no play offs and nobody said anything. About half way into the season, we realized some teams were not aware of this playoff issue, so froggy pms all the team leaders and asked if they were ok with it or would rather change it to playoffs.
This is because changing the rules halfway though the season will be unfair to some teams (unless every team agreed) because at that moment xgking and mineski were are the top of the table by a bit. I voted to have playoffs too but it wasn't a unanimous vote from all the teams. In the end what frogmite decided to do is sponsor $300 out of his own pocket so we could have a form of playoffs.
What i dont understand is even after all of that there are people complaining. Basically prize pool was doubled and there are two tournament winners now - for those who wanted the playoffs and for those who didn't.

Oh nevermind, if the separately run invite tournament has a similar prize pool, then that completely changes everything!
And way to do what you would call 'abusing' your own rep system by downrepping someone simply cos they downrepped you, lol.
Last post in this thread before you banhammer me for being surprised there's no playoffs and thus no exciting climax or real conclusion or anything to something that's been hyped to death for a long long time.
EDIT: out of curiosity, is the team who said "We don't want playoffs" willing to step forward so we can at least know who wanted to ruin the climax of the season for $300, lol.
It's better if we stop this incoming drama now and I ask everyone not participate in a brawl. The rules have been fixed by now and as Chad stated, it would be unfair for the future winner to change them now.
IMO, Frogmite has already fix that in investing his own money (if I'm not mistaken) so we have the "playoffs" without being unfair for the regular winner of the championship. I think Frog would not have created this Cup if there had been a playoff at the championship (IMO from what I have guesses, this engages only me).
For the next season, there will be a debate elsewhere (and civil too).
Riichard, please, don't add salt on this. If JoFritz want to say something about this, he will do it himself. And in fact he won't do this publicly because he doesn't want to make drama. He will discuss it directly with the organizers. I believe they have enough respect for him to listen carefully to his opinion.
Nirvana, please don't answer anymore on this particular subject "playoff or not", that's not the place and if there are moderation to do, Forgmite, Maynarde and Baka will deal with it, don't worry.
Guys we don't need that, please, let's all be wise and calm.
