Never mind. I'm too deflated. It won't be a good thing. I can't be posting pictures for someone else. Sorry. |
Okay, I'm still thinking about it. Would there be a team who would want a NYC abstract kinda creative street photographer who is a team player but often needs help making decisions? I'm 56 years old, married with two grown children, and have short red hair (which makes me cranky sometimes - sorry). I carry a canon and a leica. I've never taken a photography class but I'm still not too old to learn.
Oh! And I like meeting new people. Pick me.

I would love to play if I can find a team no matter how this plays out :)
Thank you Scott and Langdon for all that you do around DPC. You make it a better place.
MAX! |

There has been a long history of people asking for the return of the DPL. I would have been content with the return of WPL but to have the involvement of a DPC Boss and an official League is great news.
Thanks Scott. |

Awesome news that  langdon and  SDW will be working together. I can't wait for league play to begin again and if it can use the DPL system with forums and voting system (no teammate voting) that will be even better! |

langdon has sent me another email and we will begin working on the details and hopefully have the DPL running very soon. I(we) will not start the WPL/DPL without informing everyone when the sign-up period begins and how it will work.
Give us a few days to go over some details and I and/or langdon will give you an update in this thread.
Thanks everyone for you interest in the WPL/DPL.
It's going to be FUN!!!
Scott

| This could be interesting, and I am interested if anyone would like to have me. My scores aren't the highest, but I am starting a photography course this Saturday. Hmmm-wonder if it will help? :) |

Yeah, you're right, the actual cap would need to be tweaked and lowered from what I suggested. Also have to take into account that only top 5 (or was it 4?) scores count every week, so captains could get around the cap by finding a low scoring user just to fill a spot at the end of the bench. Might need to go as low as 36 for a 7-member team. Guess it depends on the overall average of the people that sign up. |

Scott has the tools to very easily obtain the data he needs to calculate a calendar year average for a user or sizable group of users... don't ask me how I know ;-)
If someone has no entries (or very few) within the past year, that could be a fly in the ointment. Alternatives would be "last X entries regardless of time" or "last year or last X entries if < X entries in past year." |
Let me upload a smaller file with only active profiles.

| I'll sign up of course. Count my vote for a draft -- would be a fun to watch it play out, helps spread the talent, and gets you talking to new people around the site.

Actually, it would be a little irritating if Judi, IreneM and Andrewt banded together, but I could handle it. I was liking the partial draft idea for the people who don't know anyone--a chance for people to branch out of their groups and get to know someone new. But what the heck, I didn't know Lutchenko when I banded with him for a side tournament. When it boils down to it, I have no problem with any of the solutions. |
Well if my memory serves me right...I am pretty sure we came last in the most recent rounds...so I don't see how we could be a threat...I understand if it was Irene, Andrew and myself...but I am just refreshing peoples memories...that we did not come out of the league how others expected. |
Which team was that? I can't keep track of the number of losing teams you've been a part of. :P |
Bite me baby!!! Hahahaha!!
