What a total crapper. This just proves there are too many elves picking away in Ranked. Everytime I greenlight one these teams in the future I am going to seethe with anger when they will not play. I guess this is the perfect tournament for elves to participate in....... |

This is the perfect tournament for your biggest team. The cap of 64 is intended to make sure you enter something big. Skating in at the bottom for inducements can work but only if you don't miss the cut. Why not enter the dorfs you have that *would* have made the cut? I didn't enter my Slann because I didn't think they would get in... because it was pretty clear it would be tight! |

Just some stats for the Light Qualifier:
Number of elf teams: 20
Average number of games: 52
Team having played 50 to 74 games: 3
75 to 99 games: 2
More than 100 games: 1 (272 games)
Average percentage of games versus elves: 29,81%
9 teams are under 30%
2 teams are above 50%
Average percentage of games versus other races viewed as "soft" (Stunties, Vamps, Slanns, Rats): 19,6%
Average percentage of games versus soft teams (elves + the races quoted above): 49,41%
10 teams are above 50%, including 3 teams above 75%
---------------------
Not much to say about those numbers. Some of those teams should be banned IMHO, or at least receive a big warning, but I was expecting much more picking. What disappoints me the most is the overall youth of the teams. |

And a lot of those numbers that those teams played against those "tougher" races were in their first 5 games where the risk is minimal (retire and move on if the game is a bust) or they played teams, that were WELL down in TV or they played against a team that was having trouble. There is no doubt a lot of those teams do not belong in a major.
I honestly hope they get smashed to oblivion. Yeah, I am bitter. I got bumped in the first round of the last major by a far superior claw pomber and now I don't get to play because my team was not as cool as picky elves...... |

Scheduled SMACKs are a good way for bashier teams to get games in between Majors.
However, try to get into one about 3 weeks before the Major draw is made.
Numbers were down this week, but I expect SMACK participation will increase next week now that the UI is going. |

Fleetfoot's Revenge are out, but leave intact and with their heads held high.
"A great match and one my best performances in my opinion. Having got to a point where it looked like we would have the chance of a coin toss, it was very disappointing to then see Indijuno's final shot in the locker succeed due to a sudden burst of great dice. Nevertheless, I'm still really pleased with how I played, particularly in the 2nd half and overtime when the odds seemed stacked against us. A really fun game though and gl in the rest of the tournament." |

Only 1 goblin team can win the tournament, so 1 is enough, right?  |

Now am I sorry? Naaaaaaaaa! You are a great coach and if I want to ever have a chance at catching up in major titles I need to win more and you need to loose. I crave the day you can watch my tail lights. |
