| Would it make more sense for me to be on team 20D seeing as that is what I shoot with and I can give my spot on Team X to another XT user? |

If you can find someone to replace you go ahead, but stay where you are until then so you don't get left out if the 20D team fills up to quick |

Just noticed that the Nikon guys have stacked there side with some pretty heavy artillery. As I can̢۪t see anywhere in this thread where it was an open team I will presume that they have an invitational side, not that there is anything wrong with that but I must do something to preserve the integrity of the Canon name. So therefore I suggest we need to even it up a bit, and not to discourage all of us ordinary photographers.
Not sure on how the format of the competition is but I would like to suggest that we could run a concurrent competition on a handicap basis.
My idea would be that each team would have to declare their own average score received, this being an average of the seven team members the day before the competition. This team average would be the benchmark for that team and the team that improves on their average the most would win.
And we still need a few more 20D team members.

I think Caleb has contacted two more people and we are waiting to see if they are willing to join or not.

I am concerned about these kind of games with groups of scores will provoke vote cheating. Of course I trust you all not to do that, but how can you ensure that team members don't tell eachother what their shot is so they can vote eachother 10's to heighten the group score.
That would give an unfair score, with unwanted impacts on the rankings of others.
So, play fair.

I think that most people around here are honest and will not do something like that, anyway I hope so.
In the event that something like that happens, I'm sure that SC will be able to check it out and take actions. |

This is just a fun thing to add a bit of spice to the challenge, I would be very dissapointed if members from any team influenced scores. I don't think anyone would try something like that. |

That is what I did, I sent out 4 PMs to who I thought were the best 4 active members who shoot Nikon and 3 said yes we wait on 1 and the other members asked in the forum.

I shot Scalvert one too, first...I think.
Skiprow would be another fantastic addition... |
