RE: break in match | # 5299 |
| I agree with Attila in many aspects, but not with every one.
First of all, I would like to comment all remarks regarding current EL rules. Everyone who has ever tried to create any rules, contract, etc. knows that it is impossible to make it perfect. There are always unusual situations impossible to predict etc. On other hand, when everything is all right and people behave fair and politely we don't need any rules. Unfortunately, people don't behave like this. This is why rules are necessary. Case of D&W shows that current rules are not perfect (that is obvious as I mentioned before). Frankly speaking I feel disappointed and can only apologize D&W, as a member of EL Committee (this is almost tragical situation - we know what we should decide, but on other hand we must obey the rules). This case forced me to analyze deeply EL Rules once again to find similar errors to be repaired for next seasons. I hope to finish it soon to start discussion on Committee forum to establish new rules before the beginning of another season. I know that other Committee members also would like to change something, so we are open for any of your suggestions (it could be just simple language correction, rule modification or EL base revolution, as Attila's proposition ;)). This is not first time when we discuss dividing teams into groups. I don't know yet if it is good idea or not. Probably we can't avoid any modifications as everything shall be improving. I'm just wondering if there will be many teams interested to compete in C or D League? Maybe in a few years there will be just YC, VLH and D&W competing? :) I would rather support play-off idea (4, 6 or 8 best teams qualify to round-robin group to decide final order). Do we really want to cut off the possibility to play vs gomoku stars (unfortunately many of them don't participate in NT tournaments)? Is it good for gomoku popularity? Last thing is that I doubt in troubles avoiding because of less number of teams competing - aren't D&W and LOX ~ top6/8 currently? :) I'm really interested in your opinions. Kind regards, Angst | |
