The v setup comes standard with the format rules in-part (lowest ranked players go out first) but you're right in saying I don't try and field a 6-0 team every week.

As Volition said in one of his awesome posts, I do plan to play everyone on our roster at least once over the course of the competition... I'll leave it to opposing team managers to guess when and in which game

[TABag]

I realise what you are saying about the rules, that goes without saying..

I was more referring to the point that you continue to do this competitive match making(guessing?) based on the opposing teams line ups.

Now regardless of what happens in regards to P+ players in this tier, I would like to think that there is a fair amount of sportsmanship that is going on. What this would mean, is that Team Captains/Managers would look the opposing team, and (hopefully!!) guess the line up that the team will be posting. They then decide who will be playing for them, not to 'snipe' matches, more so to provide some competitive games where they could go either way.

I know this has been the case for TA, Edarus attempts to line up matches where the league ranks are the same, ie Silver v. Silver.

If this is the case for the rest of the teams, then the P+ ruling shouldn't really worry the majority of the Tier clans/players.

Yeah we've tried to do the same, the whole league is just a bit of fun, the 1st prize is a logo design and most teams here already have a good one already (TA's logo is so cool now ), I think we're taking it just a little too seriously of course being in a position like TA where we have the luxury to do this we Im not in a position to know what it feels like for teams that are still truly BSG

Okay,
After discussion with the other tier Admin's, nirvAnA and a bit more of a chat with Maynarde - I think we have decided what we are going to do about the plat/diamond situation.

Diamonds - Diamonds will not be allowed to be subbed in to teams during the season. Master League promotions will not be allowed to play in tier 5.. Congrats on getting Masters if you do - but sorry, that is just too big a skill gap.

Max Plats rule - Due to the recent promotions from; Both QED teams, ZeroCraft, TA and TCP teams we have decided to increase the maximum amount of Platinum players to 3 per week (of these three, a max of 1 can be diamond).

Weekly Changes In response to these rules we are reducing the requirement of changing 2 players per week down to one. This is so teams with a few strong players, but perhaps not alot of depth, can field their 'A-team' against teams like, QED, TCP and TA - if they face them in concurrent weeks.

With this, I respectfully ask that team managers still try and give all their players a chance to play - if your versing a team on the bottom of the table with no plats - don't send out a killer line up.. let your lower league players get the chance to prove themselves.

If I have missed anything or not outlined something correctly, please comment - or offer constructive responses to develop this further (if needed). We will leave it as it is for week 6 - and review this rule after a week or two.

Thanks guys
Don't forget to submit your line ups ASAP!

Hey guys, this was originally in the T5 thread from week 5, but i just thought i would put it in here so i can find it later in the season:-

Prize Announcement
This tier is seriously the best. I have decided i am going to donate a 1 month subscriptions to The Grandmaster Manual to a player at the end of the season. They may not be the highest ranked player, but it will be a guy that has played a lot and tried hard and posted good results. They may not be the MVP of the league or anything, but i want to find someone who has potential who loves tier 5 with potential to go higher.

So towards the end of the season i will contact each of the team managers and ask them to think about and PM me with a player from their team, and some reasons. it may be your best or most consistent, or the oone that has showed up the most, or the guy that has improved. But yeah some reasons for why you are selecting them would be great to help me make my choice

Thoughts on rule changes
As for the rules changes, i dont think it really matters. Tier 5 i think has the most passionate competitors, and the teams that really support each other and respect each other - and a rule change wont change what is gerat about this league. Like it has been said, all of the teams seem to be good sports and are rotating their players.

This week QED Mixed Lollies & Zerocraft will be a good game. a little birdy says that we will only be submitting two plats (we organised before rules were announced), so it will be good to see the team tomorrow night!

There are a couple of matches missing from round five as they haven't been completed as yet, but I hope you find this useful.
