EXL Plans

Based on my experience in X-Ball, you'll need a roster of 13 (and if you can find a very large rooster, well, all the better, I suppose). You don't want to go larger than that because of the talent drop off (if two teams pull from equal talent pools, and one of those teams plays its top 15, while the other one plays its top 10, the smaller roster has the obvious advantage).
The paint consumption will be predicated upon the performance of the team. X-Ball is double elimination. If you get knocked out early, you'll need less paint. If you go through the winners bracket in a 10-team draw, you may need as few as 4 matches to win it all. If you have to fight your way through the losers bracket, though, you may need as many as 6 matches. My team averaged between 13 and 16 cases per match.

I've worked a schedule with 12 teams on a modified double-elimination scheme that runs 18 games. 7 games could be run each of the first two days and then 4 on the finals day. The schedule gives an hour lunch break each day and appropriate breaks on finals day so no team has back-to-back games.
I think 10 Euros and 2 NXL would result in excellent quality of competition and work well schedule-wise. I don't think adding 2 teams compromises quality in the least.
(I can't figure out how to post JPEG images or Excel files here. Would someone be so kind as to send me SIMPLE intructions. Or I could e-mail the schedule to someone who knows how to post it.)
I think the schedule looks great. I wish I could post it here.

We average 10-12 cases a match when playing X-ball. Coming 4th in Philly we used somewhere around 70 cases in total during 6 matches.
Steve do you have the schedule hosted on a web server? If so just copy and paste the hyperlink/url.

I was afraid of that. The pic is on my personal website but it is too small to read. I got something new to learn.Originally posted by Troggy

Opportunity knocks
Sod the glorious 12 - what's the limit on the number of teams that can play x-ball over a long weekend. 48 teams? 100 teams? 150 teams?
Surely, as soon as the Mill realise there's no money honey coming from Dick Clarke, they'll u-turn sharpish... cos at the moment they are leaving the middle ground. And I'm sure I can see someone who's about to step into it.
Here's a prediction for 2005 - am a, amb, novices and uncle tom cobley 'n' all leave in their droves.

Steve,
Still can't get to it, however - this is based on 12 teams running 18 games. Is this to one field?
My original question was the amount of time required in the future if the mill board were to push the X-Ball format out across all divisions (1-4).
I'm guessing it would be possible provided each event had something like 7 fields, 1 for Div 1 and 2 for each of the rest, however this still limits the number of future events to 24 Div 2, 3, and 4 teams - alot less than are currently playing each event.

Why haven't you worked it out for 8 Euro teams and 2 NXL'ers ?
U have already acknowledged the Millennium are gonna stick with 8 Euros, so why bother with 10 ?
Do something useful for once Steve, do one for 8 Euros and 2 NXL'ers .
