still more points then we play in millenium. anyone know the price for it aswell? i bet you its cheaper aswell........
Could you possibly be any lazier? :) Small wonder the MS take advantage.

To atshii--fabulous, excepting it's a 7 match season. Still, an impressive effort overall. Of course the CXBL is full of Canadians.

Ah, I see Bngi has picked up your slack, Cookie.

As I've always said, the aim of reducing sandbagging is admirable but the system as they've laid it down is too inflexible. What they have now helps nobody, and simply leads to lots of players who can't play and teams who can't field a full squad. Beaker's division lock rather than roster lock suggestion is the simplest and most effective solution.

I would like to see a "points" system, where a team gets a certain number of points to spend on players, which would allow a certain amount of flexibility in fielding players from different divisions, but it would be complex to administer and police, which pretty much rules it out unless a third party were contracted to do it (which inevitably would cost more money.)
It would be great if someone had a piece of software that kept track of what events people played and how well their teams did and let you use that data to control who could be on a particular roster. And wouldn't it be great if such a system could tell you which players were Pros? I wonder where you could find such a thing........

Oh wait....

You could do that and have it not cost the league any more money than it costs now. It would probably cost some players a bit more (the ones who wait until the eventto change their rosters get charged for it and that would likely cover the difference.)

And you'd never have to wait in an ID card line again....

Divisional lock is good but the Millennium has to back the team owners when it comes to players leaving teams and wanting to play for other teams.
With or without contracts?

If you mean without contracts, my answer would be, tough **** for the team owners. I don't see why team owners should be able to control where players play.
