Am A vs Am B in the MS?

It's not a 'U' turn as far as I know Mark, I stand by the idea that playing against better teams enables you to learn, I would be a fool to deny that.
But this principle has to play second fiddle to the greater good and Baca has in part, answered that.
But there is more than one way to get better Mark, you can train the right way, put the time in, do it right and things will improve.

I certainly don't think my advocacy of having to 'turn' pro to 'play' pro is a bad thing, I think it it was inevitable considering the way our sport is developing now.

The sole responsibilty for the improvemnt of ams and novices can't be laid at the feet of the pros but I do get your point.

Ok, thank you for a concise answer.

2--well, that's just silly. The lack of one Pro game automatically means you end up playing "all" the teams you normally play against? When the division has 50 teams from all over Europe?

-> Not sure, but I think last time I played it was against 3 Portuguese teams, 3 Spanish teams (neighbours), and only 3 really foreign teams. So…
And please, don’t tell me (in a friendly way) that I should go out more, unless you have a sponsor for us.

5--you're arguing both sides now

-> Don’t go that way. I never said “is still good to go without”, I said “can survive without”. It’s a completely different thing, but anyway nice try.

6--as the Novs and Am B's represent the most money you will be listened to--if enough of them feel like you do.
-> We both now that aint gonna happen.

A---> Ok, its not the most important thing of the weekend, but sure its very important.
Im nobody, an old baller, and still can remember every single game I was massacred by Joy, BL, Shockwave, Bad Company, Tonton and even Banzai. And its with a smile that I hear the kids talking about their game against Strange, Avalanche, or Dynasty. The motivation, the dreams, the hopes… Yap, its not the most important thing in the world but sure its very important to keep on calling new people and making them bigger in this sport.

RANCID
B--"Fkin Brockdorff'll be along in a minute to stick the boot in."

-> And you ask for respect ?...

CHEERS

2--let me guess. You guys played Mega, yes? Have you played any of the other series events? Any of the events is gonna draw disproportionate numbers in the lower classes from their area. Combine that with the luck of the draw you got a lot of teams you were reasonably familiar with. I've traveled cross country only to play 2 or 3 teams that are local to me, too. It happens.
5--no, it's not a completely different thing. You are implying that if the Novs and Am B's don't get their Pro game they may not show up--hence the series can't survive without them. Maybe, maybe not--but you can't say that and then also say it's a big deal, but not that big a deal.
6--you're wrong, dude. If the majority of the Novs and AM B's demanded the Pro game odds are it would stay--whether it should or not.
A--he didn't mean that in a negative way. Really. It's a Brit thing, okay?

Red: "Worst game of the day"? No way! The pro game is the one game I am looking forward to the most when playing Millennium (we play Am B). I am pretty sure most AM B teams feel the same way.

Just my 0.02€ input, the rest of the discussion I will leave up to you guys.
