well synn.. the main reason for how i scheduled the races was maintaining the idea was the bashy-nonbashy alternation, which was one of the basic concepts when XFL was created, and when i took over i stated several times that i want to keep that one up, the fact that i took the high elves that late (instead running them at the time i did Pro Elf e.g.) was just a matter of a hunch so there was no intention in this
but yeah, i intentionally stuck to my original idea of the schedule instead of intentionally changing it to favour someone, and i really can't see how you could want to have any kind of preferrential treatment in regards to official tournaments.
also, if i had chosen Undead before High Elves and then ran High Elves a week later and the Nandorins were still in FC, what then? Delay it then until they are free to play? sorry, but this is just not the way i want to run a tournament, imo these decisions have to be done as objective as possible and without regard to certain teams or coaches. and i don't think it would have really changed anything.
about that "remind" remark: not really sure what you mean with that, my intention was to explain my decision (okay, i admit the tone was a bit too pissy, apologies to kfoged for that). and yes, xfl is "only" a minor, so i don't think it is a necessity to have only the highest teams in it, though it would of course be nice.
arktoris: yeah, i wanted to suggest some sort of random schedule for the next cycle, like have about 5 teams choosen by a poll and then randomly select one as the next xfl race.
P.S: It really looks like there is a chance to get 32 teams into XFL High Elves, so i delay the start for a week hopeing to get it full until then. |

Thanks for the delay. Then maybe my team have a chance to be in better shape... I would have withdrawn otherwise. |

well.. irony is that since i anounced the delay 3 teams dropped out.. *sigh*.. but might be better this way otherwise there could have been some drop outs from the tourney which would have been unpleasent.. so join up people.. |

If you need me to make 32, I will apply with Upper Clash... but they're brand new, so if you can get to 32 without them, great. |

If we don't reach 32, would you please tell us what 16 teams that are already qualified.
Kind of want to know, if my team is in or not. |
