Is there anything that can be done to make the team competition fairer, or at least give it some point?
In much the same way as Sky run their team comps on colours, and a random draw?
We have 3 teams with twice the entrants of the others, and some teams with 1 or 2 players playing each week.
Teams limited to 5 or 6 players per team, Top 3 only to count would make the team competition much more viable. We could have 20 teams per week, or 10 teams (depending upon numbers). You stay in a team for a full month cycle, and not playing is letting your side down (maybe have a substitute system)
I know people enjoy their current teams, but the team competition of DTD is, frankly, a farce. If people really want to stay in current teams, then maybe split your teams in to A B C D E etc - can rank your players on previous performance and have a promotion / relegation system within the teams for a bit of extra light-hearted rivalry.
If I am lone voice, then tell me so, and I will plod on.

Perhaps a transfer window to balance the numbers up? Or go out on loan for a few months?

....Diamond Won Team Game this week with just ONE entry!!!!
It has been looked at in past, Regular playing Captains felt it best left as its been for nearly 3 Years!
To help, I split My HitSquad into 2 Distinct Teams each Month, again made fairer!
I will post up the Full results over time, latley you will see it has become more open!!
The Individual DTD League Works, run by DTW The Team DTD League Works, run by HitManRV ME!!
They have always complimented each other, we throw alot of our time into keeping them running, aided respectivly by admins in each League from across all Teams, Dave Boxter, Poker Trev, Alan Maxally, Teresa betterha1f,
.....Sky Donate some prizes, but The Community Started, Supported & Run Both Leagues!
Other Options have started succesfully, like the Orfordable on friday ably run by Trev & Dave!
.....Anyone can Start their Own idea....WE STARTED OURS!!!
Good to see you back playing Graham, we missed you, TKP getting a few in again Nice One... BUT ITS BEEN WORKING FINE TA!!!! lol!!
The thing is, Dave. originally the teams were all small and similar in size. If you think it's fair to have 1 team with 20 entrants, and one team with one entrant, then we're never going to reach a solution.
The team competition no longer works. If you want to make it fair, and a true team competition, then teams have to be of equal size (as much as possible). You don't see the Tour de France with 100 riders from 1 team and 3 or 4 from another. There's a reason for that. If you just want THS, TPT or Hit Jams to win it every time, then your scheme works wonderfully. Divide the big teams into workable sizes each month, and the team competition might become meaningful. As it is, it's a guaranteed freeroll for the big teams. Have fun with that!
Your argument that this week's team comp was won by a solo player is actually an argument against the status quo. How can a single person win a team competition merely by winning the overall? That's madeness. Each week someone wins the overall. If, by chance, the reamaining places are divided up between the other teams right, that individual can win the team event? I have never heard anything so ludicrous.
Just because something has worked in the past, does not mean it will continue to do so.
P.S. Your last sentence does you no credit. If it wourked just fine, ta. I wouldn't be making these observations.
Just asking for open debate. If I am in the huge monority, I will gladly accept that.

OK. Debate over. Everyone who wants to have a say has spoken, I am in a minority of 1.
I will continue to play, and as a member of TKP. I have played practically every week for the last 2½ years, with a 6 month self-exclusion from poker when I was having personal problems last year.
As an aside, if anyone does want to offer opinions on the current team part of DTD, I assume Dave will allow you to reply on this thread. I see it will do no good, but a little free speech never hurt.
Sry if I sounded Sharp Graham, but i have business to run here, like you!
We put this time in During Day to keep people informed of results, when we can grab a moment to help Community!
It Not easy to respond to Critisism on our Working Threads, articulatley, responsibly sometimes in open forum if Critiqued, please do pm me, or Mesaage me in friends of Sky Poker FB Group, as this type of debate here normally only attracts others who wish to stir a hornets nest as in past!!
It is Good to talk you are Correct!!
Back to Work for Me!!
Ps Thanks for the Many thanks from Everyone to The DTD Admins!! ...it really makes it all worthwhile...!!
STOP!!!!! Am kidding, we regularly get thanked & appreciated!

Sorry but i feel that using the word 'farce' is being disrespectful to the effort and organisation that people put in to, not only putting on the DTD but, promoting players to play in them. THS have split their team, however, i can say that a lot is done to promote a good team 'atmosphere'. Surely its a matter of other teams getting more members and promoting good poker rather than diluting it with teams of five. A team of one won it this week though i'm sure that team has more members and could have provided more on the night. Lets not decry the effort made by individuals to represent their teams and promote playing. Lets raise the participation rather than dilute it. DTD has introduced prizes for individual perforfomances over the week and month. Its not for the organisers to sort out and calling it a farce is wrong imo. Maybe starting your own one may show you the difficulties involved. Good luck sir!
