2015 WXV Awards and 2015 Rules Discussion

[Toga]

I agree with Memph's post, I think he and I (and possibly Holz) are arguing for the same point.

The proposed cap is more likely to hurt middle-tier teams rather than top teams or help bottom teams I think.

As Memph says as well, depth is important in improving teams - look at Beijing improving a bit this year despite important players like Wines, Kreuzer, Jaensch, Petracca missing a chunk of games. We were still able to cover them and have a much better season than last year. Now that we have that good depth, it is up to lesser teams to try the same thing, and recruit similar depth. I've said multiple times I'm happy to trade two or three depth players for a better quality depth player or starter - but that's out of our hands.

Also, seeing as we will likely have time, will send a "clarification" vote on some rules.  :)

Very happy with that overall. I'm all for new ideas and being innovative, but at the same time love the simplicity of Worlds so it's good to see we're not going to have a million changes

Loyalty Cap Bonus in dispute - whoever is left to vote, vote no! :P

[MajorLazer]

I can't remember what we voted for but vote yes. Just cos. No particular reason.

Oh well, time to organise some trades that make a mockery of the points cap.

Reserves finals criteria is a bad idea :(

What is the point of the points cap?

1. to stop teams hoarding players. One team had 40 players to get senior games this year and they're only 200 points over the cap. Fail.

2. To stop teams from trading out all their players and turning themselves into an uncompetitive team. Fail.

3. To stop top teams becoming unbeatable. Mexico City can trade in O'Meara, D.Swallow and Gibbs if they cut Stokes. Fail.

May as well get rid of it since it serves no real purpose.

Pumped for a big awards night.

Very interested to see who gets all the side awards.

[meow meow]

Roberton has the coaches award in the bag, surely!

been amazing, could go to anyone really. Lots of guys came from knowhere. Certainly a front runner though.

I guess the only factor is he did average 75 in 2013.

but anyway great pickup. I did look at him last year, a little annoyed didnt go any further.

[RaisyDaisy]

Good chance Meow, but I reckon guys like Laird and Blicavs are good chances to win it too

[Toga]

Don't look past Tommy Bell >:D
