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 I would have withdrawn otherwise.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.
