Attn ALL Teams/Team Captains & Team Players (Team Names / Avatars)

Hi Everyone.
You may all be aware of a recent request by Sky & Posted by Sky_Dave..............

With immediate effect, all Team Names Must be removed from The location field of your address.

See Original Post - HERE

To address this issue in some small way and to enable all team players to comply with these new guidlines, here is my suggestion......................

Each Team / Captain chooses an existing Sky Avatar from the ones available. They then request that all their team members change their avatar to the same one they have chosen.

Although not a complete solution to the removal of Team Names from our location, it will at least enable us to identify team players more quickly in a lot of cases.

Once a Team / Captain has decided which avatar they wish to display, please post it on here so other teams do not use that avatar (First Come First Served) If a team has already chosen that avatar then simply choose another one.

Who thinks this might work to a degree? (It would also be quite fun to see at the tables)

    Only flaw I can see with this is when non team members are using the same avatar as a team.  May create confusion thinking someone is in a team when they aren't

    I know in past Sky have added a star to players so is it worth asking if they could do something for the teams?

    I'll do whatever is decided by majority of the forum. I would like to point out (on this thread as other one was closed) that I personally don't understand any of the arguments that were put forward by Sky. I had my location as Chester  --TNP--.   Why is this wrong but you can put "The Moon" or "Mind your own business"?.

    Hi Cenacahv
    Yes - as I said in my original post it's not a complete solution to the problem, however, I think this would help temporarily whilst we discuss other options ie. team avatars which could be implemented at a later date.

    Only thing I don't like a few times now I've had it where someone has so much typed in location it stops you from seeing there stack size! Now I no if I was paying attention this wouldn't be a problem lol but when you don't no what effective stack size you are playing or if you covered this makes playing a little hard all other issues they mentioned I don't see a problem :-)

    This is something I will be looking into for future, however, I suspect it's not something we can implement immediatel, so in the short term, this is my next best proposal with a view to implement team acatars at a laters date once we can agree something with sky.

    You could always suggest that the rest of the team look like the "Hogmeisterr" avater (Yours) that way you won't have to change it :)

    But seriously I know what you mean m8 - I'm just trying to find a temporarry solution, which we may be able to resolve in the near future with proper team avatars.
