Interest in a Freedom mini-ladder?

Before I go through the hassel of arranging NC prize support and updaters etc I wanted to get a feel for how much interest there would be.

What I am thinking of is a Freedom Mini-ladder. Basically ran almost exactly like the original test ladder. Except for a few major differences.

  1. There would actually be a requirement to fight for each team. Probably a few matches a month. That way no risk of it becoming stagment.
  2. Team cap of probably 10 people, that way there are more teams. (add and remove people as needed with 10 day can't play time frame for new additions)
  3. 5v5 matches. Up to 8v8's if both teams agree and have enough available.
  4. Very strict match list/startup times so that lineups don't need to be reported in advance like the league, lineups can be countered but time frame not abused so we don't have where it takes 3 hours to do 3 matches.
  5. Best 2 out of 3 like the good old days of course.
Pretty much every thing else would be like the old ladder except with pvp2.0 button smashing instead.

So question is who all might be interested and more importantly who might be up for Captaining/forming a team?

Before the trolls get too excited. I will only set up the Ladder.... the Captains will run it after that. So no PVPEC sux comments needed.

P.S. Showing your interest here will help me get better prizes. So speak up!

I'm down... I say keep it 5v5 though.. everyone is all about a ladder when it first starts then a couple weeks into it we can barely get a solid 8v8 together.

Start times being strict has little to no bearing on stopping counter-picking. Just throwing that out there.

I would be down also, as long as it is captain run, with little to no lineup restrictions...

I think she means you will be able to counter, but not counter counter counter for hours on end. So for example each team has say 10 min to switch out toons to try and counter each other. That's how i read it anyway.

No.

I honestly thought this was a troll.

Regardless of who runs it it's the people it's being ran for that is, and will always be, the problem.

Will be 5v5 by default. If both teams happen to have 6-8 on and happen to agree to play more than hooray for them. If not its default 5v5.

I prefer one night events to ongoing ladders.

A 5 x 5 (or whatever) round robin on a Saturday afternoon would be awesome.

I tend to agree. However, I would be interested.

I don't like the 5v5 idea at all. The default should be higher with the option to go lower per two teams agreement.

And what if you don't have enough to field an 8v8 and the other team refuses to go lower? It only works if you default the lower and option the higher team number.

By doing that you factor in the doosh bag feasibility. So team A only has 5 people and team B has 8 people and refuses to do 5v5 and forces them to either forfeit or play short.

Currently D8 teams have 12 on a roster. This ladder will only allow 10 on a roster. Currently on many d8 fights you see teams having to play D6's whether they want to or not because not enough showed up. With this ladder each team is allowed 2 less people so the probability of not having 8 show up is even greater.
