Aberlour10 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I would join in, but only if it would be the entirely B/I team (B/I of course in the terms of forums, not the MBC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Is the number of players on a team going to be capped at 8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I'm happy to be a sub but am quite busy and have a severe time zone problem (i.e. it is around midnight EST when I get home from work). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flameous Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Me and my partner would be happy to find a team. We have pretty open schedule if that's a plus. We'd especially love to play first couple of matches as a training before White House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Teams of 6 or 8 doesnt matters. I dont suggest making a team of only 4, but if you do make sure to be very available on the weekends. Last chance for becoming a captain. We can also allow 2or4 "wildcards" (any player may play=1wildcard, a outside pair=2 wildcard) so that way some players that do not fit in teams might have the chance to play after all.

If others teams are full our team might accept an extra pair or we might allow for anotehr team to form if all captains agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gszes Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I hope the league will consider making all matches of equal lengthincluding any playoffs. I require no prize money to compete and I would most likely frownon having to pay a league fee to play. IMO league starts out with a round robin where each team plays all of theother teams once--the top 4 (head to head competition is tie breaker)do a finals 1 vs 4 2 vs 3 with the winners facing each other for braggingrights. Once we get settled one match a week does not seem overwhelming. I would like to join but still dont see a clear way to do so. Is there acomplete list of team captains somewhere??

hrothgar Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'd also like to add that the lure of filthy lucre is not impacting my decision to compete... I prefer if there was no cash prize (or alternatively, if it were donated to charity) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Don't worry Richard, we'll just spend it on a nice team dinner. I'm afraid you'll have to pay your own flight to Europe though, as the prize is not quite that high. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgr Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 If there is an open place then I'd like to participate.Just let me know. (or as a reserve).(not available at CET business hours).(..and if there is a need for a pair then I can ask my regular partner.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Ben: If you like, I could forward a copy of the Conditions of Contest for the Solomon Teams, the Philadelphia Unit's annual round-robin team championship. I am the coordinator of the Solomon Teams this year (and probably for years into the future, unless I can find someone to take over for me). The basic structure of the Solomon Teams is a qualifying round-robin over six months in which teams are expected to play one match each month. A "match" consists of 2 12-board matches scored at IMPs converted to VPs (ACBL 20 point VP scale). The top 8 teams from the round-robin qualify for the KO stage (if turnout does not warrant 8 qualifiers, the quarterfinals can be skipped). The top qualifier gets to choose its quarterfinal opponent from the bottom 4 qualifying teams, the second qualifier gets its choice next from among the three remaining bottom 4 qualifying teams, and the third qualifier chooses between the remaining two teams in the bottom 4. In the semifinals, the semifinal team with the highest score in the qualifying round gets to choose its opponent from the two semifinal teams with the lowest scores in the qualifying round. And, obviously, the two winners from the semifinal matches face each other in the finals. There does not have to be a complete round-robin (indeed, this year's Solomon Teams started with 12 teams - 7 in Flight A and 5 in Flight B, and not all of the teams play each other).

benlessard Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 The captains are the 1st name of the teams. So players that want to participate send messages or email to the captains. Art please foward me the CC of the Philadelphia league. Hopefully captains will give me opinions on what they prefer. So far 3 captains like one match every 3 weeks and I think 3 to 4 month for 1 season is adequate so that why i prefer not to have too many teams in a RR. If captains agree we could have a 7th team but that would be my personnal limit. So we try to fill the teams first and than we add a team of not. If all goes well maybe the 2nd season we can have more teams or play 2 matchs per month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyman Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Would not mind a 7th team. I proposed (on the urging of some members of the team) the WBF 25 VP scale. The ACBL 30-VP scale overrewards wins, and the 20VP scale overrewards blitzes, but the WBF scale is a nice balance imo. http://www.qldbridge.com/director/downloads/WBF%20VP%20SCALE.pdf I sent all this to Ben, but I guess for the purpose of discussion, we're proposing no HUMs and nothing brown-sticker, since no one is really going to take this seriously enough to prepare countermeasures. For the ACBL-ers, what we're proposing is something like a loose mid-chart I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
