Thanks dude....


Sure they got a head start...
I was (almost) in dipers when they started to play ball. But are the euros that far behind now??
Europe has more population then the us in total and are a future market for many companies....
Why would companies (outside the sport) in europe want to see U.S teams over here playing in exl??

sam do you want to stick the knife in any further? we all know the general feeling of this, Nick has just deffended our postion because as he stated in earlier threads that he thinks all who wanted a piece of the pie should have been given a chance. that debate is now finished....we are not in the 8 EXL teams that have been selected - that is our fault we need to work hard next season in what ever series we play and make sure that this time next year you are all saying we do deserve a place!, so enough already and concentrate on the topic being discussed and leave us alone!

Hardcore - you guys well deserved a spot!

Dick Clark has the TV deal, i guess from a USA point of view, they are more likely to watch the EXL if there are two of their teams at each event.

i aint sayin that hardcore dont have the playin ability, cos you do.

and im sure had you known about this before campaign you would have played.

Totally, Why would Americans want to watch a load of Euro teams? The only way us Euros can get respect (Both from the players and spectators) is to bash up on Yank teams

I still believe someone with the time and inclination should sit down and calculate how many games, double elimination with 12 will be - because it might just be doable, without needing an extra field.

At any rate, doing double elimination with 10 teams is just plain stupid, you get byes at every stage !

12 is better - even if it is not perfect... only 8 or 16 works out perfectly.

Nick if it was increased to 12 teams who would be the other 2 teams (counting 2 from the US also) obviously HC but honestly who would be the final placing of choice?

Firstly thats a moo point, as it wont be that, and secondly, i doubt Nick would be involved in the decision, so his opinion is as good as yours. Check the WPS rankings for the team from Europe below Hardcore.

And i have just checked, and it would be Worms
