Maybe that has been discussed before but: What do you think about an official Fumbbl Tourney for UNRANKED Teams (with official prices) as there are Tourneys for ranked teams like WO, Fumbbl Cup etc.? I am just interested in it because I dont play ranked that much. I know we have a a lot of unranked Tourneys going on but they will never get the same attention as an official one. |

Why does every one feel the need to mention MacAvity in their polls? |

No, it would be too easy to abuse. Coaches could essentially "breed" teams for official tourneys by setting up easy tourneys to skill up everyone. Unlikely, you say? Trust me, it would happen.

Hunter - you dont think coaches "breed" teams in ranked to set them up for Official Ranked tourneys??????
Sorry to shine some light on this abuse. I'll be happy to PM you some team links of this abuse which currently do this. In fact I'd say in general there is a lot LESS cherry picking in U becuase those teams actual play in leagues where they dont' get to pick opponents. |

Ah, my good man. Let me take you back to the days of yore when Mac was known as something else rather than SpamMacster. When I joined it was only briefly after Mac himself (at least that's what the join date says - I have no idea really ). One year ago Mac made poll after poll after poll (ok, you get the idea) and was dubbed the poll-king of FUMBBL. Apparently his previous days of polling are now a mere distant memory now and he mainly posts a lot, but the sheer impact of the number of polls Mac made seems to have left such a deep scar on the mind of many coaches that many polls following mac's reign as poll-king yielded a "I'm Macavity"-option. As a result even people who weren't here during those days of poll-crusading are now infested with the Mac-decease.
At least that's what I think. |

People would play their best friends rookie no-tree flings 50 times in a row. Trust me. |

I once made a poll and was critisized for not having offered a macavity option. |

Oh, I'm well aware of this.  It would just be easier to do in Unranked because you can set up a tourney like Circularlogic mentioned, and it wouldn't be viewed as "illegal". |

And why does it matter for the tourney? Having bred a team won't guarantee a win, they still have to face all the other teams. And if someone feels that cheating like that will make him have fun ... just give a shit and enjoy the tourney your way.
Who ever breads a team like that cheats himself already, so why deny yourself something that could be enjoyable, if you are into tourneys. This one really is a perspective type of thing. Specifically as it does happen in ranked already. Is there any "worse or more acceptable" breeding? It's just not in the spirit of things no matter how it is pulled off.

One problem might be that a lot of unranked tourneys and leagues stipulate that games outside the league are forbidden, grudgeleague being an obvious example. |

Official FUMBBL tournaments run in [R].
The Unranked division is for player who want to run their own tourneys/leagues and whatnot. |

I don't see why it's needed. You want to enter an official tournament? Do it in ranked. The rules are exactly the same, after all.
On macavity: I think it's just used as a throwaway option for people who insist on voting in every poll, but don't actually care. I usually put something like that in my polls, because they are generally more accurate. |
