Your team should fish around for inspiration
Your team should stop fishing for a compliment
Your team is like a fish in troubled waters
From your fishy friend of the CARPe_diem team.
I'll post my list of nasty ones later. Hehe |
Trust me, your comments are fowl! |
AND they sound really FISHY... |

Pay him no heed, those are all red herrings! Keep your eyes on your bobber and you'll be able to reel them CARPS in no problem :-)

| Carp are bottom feeders, hopefully they end up in our division. |

Since there is only one extra finalized team (above 24), Would it be horrible to disassemble the last team and add a those players to remaining finalized teams - and then let other teams absorb the remaining free agents as well?
NOt sure if I worded that well but ...

There's a decent risk in this though in that I don't know if my code can handle it without heavy modification. =X
For reference, here's how 48 teams lays out: //www.dpchallenge.com/league/league_current_standings.php?DPL_SEASON_ID=2 |

Love this idea - breaks my heart that not everyone might play. Fingers crossed Langdon can figure out some option. |

| Is the number of people on a team hard coded at 7 or could each team pick up one more member? |

That's an interesting idea. I'll run it by the boss. |

+1
I wondered the same thing, esp if it enabled people who wanted to play but had not been picked up to do so. |

Maybe they could be auto-inserted into the 24 teams ... highest ranked going to the first fianlized team and so-on ;P

Away with ribbon hogs! Just take the 23 highest % players, and boot them out, to be replaced by those in need of love and comfort in the warm bosom of a league team.
The kicked-out pros should peruse and partake in production and quality control, sort of roaming educators..

Maybe we should go the other direction and limit each team to 5 members. That would free up a bunch of people and then there could be more teams. |

Not a fan of this for several reasons. First off it creates an ugly situation for teams that have already started working together and building a chemistry to try and decide who goes - even if it's by lottery. Second, we're 4 days from starting and for those booted off to try and organize with the FA's into some sort of cohesive unit is going to be messy, and I wouldn't want to push this off another week.
If we're looking to be all inclusive then I'm all for expanding to 8 if that's doable. Otherwise, and I'll sound like a bit of a schmuck for saying it, I'm more than fine with the old adage, "You Snooze, You Lose". We've all been on both sides of that, and it's not fun, but they've been pretty clear on schedule and what's what since the beginning. There will likely be the need to replace folks as time goes by, and perhaps if we can't expand to 8 now there may be an opportunity to do so after the first round? |

| It is highly unlikely that we'll reduce the team size, for various reasons, not the least of which it puts too much pressure on every team member to enter every challenge. |

Agreed. I think taking on another player would add a nice element while disbanding teams would be a cluster-bomb.

That may be right, I was only trying to think of a way to not leave people behind. |

I got this... Ready?
1 - Yay DPL season 3 is going to happen
2 - Sign up!!
3 - Oh crap, there's going to be an odd number of teams for the script Langdon has! :(
4 - Let's try to see if we can figure out if we can find a way to incorporate everyone into the league even though there are an odd amount of teams for his script.
^^^ Nutshell version ^^^ |

| An 8th player on each team would be nice. Not sure of the mechanics, but I like the idea. |

Me thinks you forgot something: the doubt of Langdon regarding the length/divisions/#teams
(6 weeks to 4 weeks (standard 8 divisions, 4 teams per division) or lengthen it from 6 weeks to 8 weeks (4 divisions, 8 teams per division) )
Or was that your #4?
