First order of business -- come up with a name or we'll be forever known as the NoNames. Suggestions so far:

1. Casino Royale
2. ShutterUps
3. ...
4. NoNames

Hi All,

Thanks for having me on the team!

What a strong team it is as well, lots of high scorers in there. I'm in a bit of a lull after my ribbon at the moment so i'll look forward to the competition and team to pull me back into the sixes!

I'll have a think about the name and get back to you

Also....

Is there a thread anywhere that explains the general concept of the WPL? I understand from what you said in the mail that the top 4 scores from the team each week count towards the teams score for the week, is that right?

And is it a knockout comp or a league?

Thanks

Here's the thread that has the results from WPL4; follow the link and you'll see how the standings and playoffs are organized. I assume WPL5 will run much the same, though there could be changes now that its being integrated into the main DPC site.

Hey Team! I think this will be lots of fun. Looks like a good team. I thought of a few names to throw in: Team Perspective
Team Kodachrome
Team Red-Eye
Team EyeCandy

Hi All

Currently I'm at:

Colour Portrait - 5.66 (shame as i much prefered this this my B&W portrait and that was just off a 6

Multiple Lights - 5.55 (been steadily decreasing from the dizzy heights over just over 6)

Langdons birthday - 5.6

so a pretty average run at the moment.

I like Team GoldenEye as well.
