whats wrong with suggestions of possible formats?
also, it has to be in the region that u have played the most games in!!! no headhunting because some dude played 3 games there once
dont give the CBD any ideas they need all the help they can get !!!!!!!!!!
" B& G vs the World " would be a more appropriate naming for the Event. Venue == VINE Inn -Palace
AK for team Mascot :lol:

Re: Region of Origin
The only way you could do it, without putting people offside is have the top players (i.e. top 20) selected in each leaderboard. Then if someone didn't want to play then 21st would come in etc.
Having one person select a team from a region would just cause too many fights and put people offside because they think they deserve a spot, yet the "team leader" wouldn't pick them based on some lame reason.
I think the better option would just to get people to organise teams like the other event, but just have the requirement that each member of your team comes from the same region as you. Also for multi-region players you're region would be designated by the most number of games played per region for the previous season.

Re: Region of Origin
The top 20 players = not the best 20 for that region. Just the best 20 in NPL. Des is right, though. I'd prefer picking our own teams. Less bullsh*t.

Re: Region of Origin
yeah own teams is prolly the way to go, because then the bigger regions can put in multiple teams as well.

Re: Region of Origin
Pretty much for the reasons Des mentioned, I'd like us to try and limit the discussion (just for now) to a fairly simple reply.
Because there's soooo many possibilities it'll just go off on a massive tangent.
It's probably fair to say that IF we're lucky enough for the NPL to go ahead and organise something like this for us we'd be presented with a few options to do with the format and then you guys can go nuts with your ideas.
Gaz's reply was awesome

Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!
