XFL Lizzardmen coming up
It is said, that since the dawn of the Old World the race of Lizzardmen guards the temples of the old ones,
steady to follow their command when they return. Most people consider this only a mere legend, not worth to be listened
to. But the Lizzards stay prepared, bringing up new breeds from their spawning ponds all over the year, ready to serve.
The fat and ugly Slaan get worshipped as <statthalter> of the sacred old ones. And the mighter the Slaan you serve, the
greater the honour. Many of the old an mighty Slaan only accept the strong or cunning ones as servants others want their
mino to rely mostly on speed or toughness. And most of the younger Lizzardmen look for a chance to prove their quality.
So most of the time during the year you can see young scaleskins fighting each other, trying to show their surpremacy.
Teams who want to participate can apply to the group page until the tournament starts, Friday July 28th 2006. This is a weekly tournament so please make sure you are available to play during the week, so we don't get any delays. Any [R]Lizzardman teams are eligable. Only apply if you are willing to play all rounds, so we don't get any drop outs.
Due to personal reasons i most likely won't be in chat during the week. I plan to start the tournament sometime during the afternoon next friday. So if you want to participate better don't play any games with your team at this afternoon, since i won't check for running games. |

Team acceptance is on a first come, first serve basis. If there aren't enough teams to take the tournament to the next power of 2, all the teams applying after the first 8, 16, 32, whatever, are dropped. |

Mezir why dont you use turnamant fillers so that all teams who wants can play?
Espcially when all team can join so that its not that much of a difference to get a bye en first round or a team wich is 0-3 game old...

I guess we can agree, that the XFL Lizards is a bit of a joke. Not only was two teams included with a strenght of 100/99 and 131/110 instead of teams that are actually stronger than most of the teams included.. Second only 2 out of 4 games in first round seem to be played - here of cause not the one with the shining new Lizards!!
Could it be, that the coaches with the high ranked teams are more likely to play their darlings? And could it be that the XFL - as an official tournament - could get more substance, by securing the strongest teams to be included?
I definitely support the proposal of using the "fillers" and playing a 16 team tournament with 11-13 players instead of what is happening now!!
Or another posibility could be to limit the tournament to +150 or +180 teams?
Written by the Doktor, who (you guessed it?) didn't get his team in the XFL Lizzies!! |

XFL has been created as first come first serve.. i said this about a zillion times already.. you applied very late, so don't whine.. and once more: i will stick to the current format until this xfl cycle is done.. |

Very late was about a week before - but surely too late ...
Just please use my "whining" as some suggestions how things could be better |
