Shouldn't that also require locking/closing of the team thread? |
I'm not sure that require is the correct word but sure, close it.
PM's are available if someone(s) want to exchange thoughts.
More important is to have access to all the voting once a team is eliminated. |

Just trying to be consistent (for a change?).
Note that I have long been in favor of allowing members to form an "affinity group" during non-DPL times, which would function just like the team threads, for the same reasons but with the same restrictions.
However, also note that allowing team members to vote on each other's entries might be perceived by others as conferring an unfair advantage -- you are asking everyone to trust that you will vote fairly on an image you might have helped make better.
I have asked for another member's opinion on a potential entry from time to time, but that's not the same as regularly getting assistance or opinions from a whole, consistent group. |

Yes -- it is completely possible that someone would play unfairly. But I truly believe that people are here to enjoy playing and play by the rules. I'm tired of everyone being punished for assuming someone will cheat. . . . |

(I'm not actually weighing in on the locked vs unlocked threads once a team is out. I would just like to underscore this that Wendy said.)
ETA Especially the last two sentences.

I think this is the wrong thread, the best might be to PM Mita. |
Get with the program. - correct thread |

Sorry for the slow response.

It makes complete sense. I checked what is involved programming-wise, and it is not straightforward to do. I will add it to DPL7 pre-requisite list. Apologies to the affected DPL6 participants. |

On a second look, it shouldn't be too hard to implement. I will see to it once the current DPL playoffs round is over. |

Pulling the following from the DPL6 thread ... time to move onto DPL7 please. Thanks.

I think we should do it annually. |

What about Winter and Summer seasons? That way the participants in both hemispheres would be catered for :) |

I vote for biennial. :-) |

OK, I was thinking about this. If you look at the number entries per challenge there has not been no significant increase for non DPL challenges. If DPC is to continue with decent number of entries it needs DPL. What about doing a survey of all actual and potential DPL participants on what frequency they would like? I think that might be better than making any guesses. |

| Maybe more smaller teams with a bigger bracket -- season lasts longer and more people's scores would "count" so participation should increase. |

I think that having 2 conferences is unrealistic. I am suggesting just one division with 8 teams and 7 to 10 members in each team. The matches would go on for 7 Rounds so that each team plays every other team.
Average of 6 scores would make the team score. The winners would be based on highest average score from 7 matches and not by win/lose. If there is a tie allow more than one winner or run a playoff just with these teams.
I really think that one division is way to go. |
To continue, 8 teams with 7 rounds ensure maximum possible participation. It also maintains 2 weeks for shooting which I very much prefer.
More refinements:
Apart from the Team Scoreboard there would be also Individual Scoreboard for the Tournament. That way the highest scoring participants would be also awarded
Create Tournament Ribbons Blue, Red and Yellow for winning teams and individuals that members could put on their profile pages
Run DPL twice a year, Spring/Summer Season and Fall/Winter. This way members from the southern hemisphere (like Australians :) would not be disadvantaged |
Any supporters of this idea? |

| However it's eventually structured I think we should maintain the round-robin principle, where every team plays every other team they're competing with. |
