Roster/Division Locking. Helping or hindering?

Because first of all, value for money.. Imo this would be the lowest acceptable mark. 5 games in the prelims and a race to seven in 15 minutes. (I think the psp lowered it this year, am I right?).
As of now , if one team drops, the other teams get 2 games. We drove over 2000 km to toulouse to play two games and then go home. (thx hurricanes)
Id rather have a event like belgium (site-wise) than paris, if i get to play alot. Cut the glamour (wouldnt take very long). I was at WC last year, and I didnt find it very fancy. Just alot of fields and vendors. Sure, the nxl fields grandstand was cool. But then again, everyone has to pay extra to go there.
The current format is just a half-assed, money-and-time-saving, not-worthy-to-be-called-xball, bad excuse to charge twice as much.
Oh yeah, and I dont see why teams in all divisions should be forced to commit to all 5 legs of the series if they only wish to play three of them. But i suppose there are alot of different opinions about that.

thats true.
i mean we pay through our ass and if u get knocked out straight away you can end up playing as little as 12 points.
where if we played full on xball wouldnt we play like 40 points minumininin? (sp?)
Well, theoretically we could end up playing as little as 3 points and get knocked out.
I think a good example of the formats flaw is the NXL this seasons dropping max points to 7 and seeing the gameplay change pretty drastically compared to the 20min x 2. Teams play alot less offensive because mistakes make alot more damage. This is one of the main reasons i think the spl/cpl format doesnt deserve the label "xball"..
Its not possible to run full time xball on 70 teams on a three day tournament. But todays format is more about making it easy for the mill than giving the teams a nice experience.
As I said after belgium last year. I dont mind an event like that, site wise, IF the entry fee would reflect that kind of low budget site. I think its the same deal with toulouse this year (didnt go to malaga or basildon). Although im pretty sure they can find big fields that are not in the middle of a industrial area where muggings are more common than not.
I dont think I want to participate in to many of the future Millenium events, however, im always looking forward to the germany event

In response to Cookie's full on xball by my reckoning nobody has that anymore but for what it's worth here are some numbers.
NXL plays 5 prelims, race to 9 in two 20 minute halves. Teams moving on play minimum of 2 and maximum of 3 additional matches.
D1 plays 4 prelims, race to 7 in a 15 minute match and a non-running clock. Given limited participation D1 usually plays out in max of 6 matches.
D2 plays 4 prelims, race to 7 in a 15 minute match and non-running clock. Given typical number of teams participating in the bracket maximum number of matches is 10.
D3 plays 4 prelims, race to 5 in a 15 minute match and non-runing clock. Depending on number of teams participating max matches can go as high as 12.
The only locked division is the NXL.

I think AXBL and CXBL are still running full time X-Ball matches:In response to Cookie's full on xball by my reckoning
