Dont know how many nominations your allowed to have but heres another one Macacgirl1 for her advice posted on churchy18s diary thread Pure class advice and well worth a read by any new players to the game or any poker players in general Posted by Diminuendo
I didn't really want to wade in and post an opinion on this, because I usually keep my mouth shut
...but I'm on my lunch break, so figured I'd chuck in my thoughts.
Yes, it would make perfect sense for all teams to have the same number of participants. Eleven players on a football team; five players on a basketball team; fifteen players in a rugby squad. You don't have an imbalance there because, well... as you have alluded to - correctly, to some degree - it just isn't fair, is it?
And if this was a serious contest, I would agree. One hundred percent. Each team would be capped at (for instance) thirty members; rules would be set; penalties would be implemented for missing games; etc, etc.
But - for me at least - DTD, and more broadly, the function of each team, has never been about that. I'm a relatively new member of The HitSquad. Did I join because I thought they were the best team on Sky, with the biggest clout? No (sorry Dave!). Did I join because I thought they could help advance my game further than any other? No again. I joined because there was a core group of guys and girls that seemed to enjoy their games, and I thought it would be good to get to know a few of these people a little better. Forum friendship, if you like.
It would be relatively simple to implement a more rigid form of team-based competition, but the problem you will have is that - and somebody correct me if I'm speaking out of turn here - most forum regulars on Sky would rather a relaxed, no-strings, form of contest than a regimented league/ladder format, as you have alluded to. There are plenty of tournaments on every evening that takes care of serious competition.
This is just a bit of fun on the side, and we all like some of that
if its not too late I'd like to nominate devonfish05. its good to have him back contributing regular again and always has words of encouragement for everybody whos partaking in challenges/diaries.
Sorry this is late this month because of the way the weekends have fallen - I'll post the winners tomorrow and the tournament will be on Tuesday. Cheers!

In Response to Re: Top of the Posts! : +1 to this and my last nomination for this month Posted by MP33
thanks Paul.
be nice to get a free seat, as always. I'm sure there are many more deserving people than me that deserve a seat so I'll be happy for whoever Sky pick.
Here we go folks, sorry it is late. So the tournament will take place tomorrow night at 9pm, again, sorry for the short notice. We already know that Slip is still in the tournament after he crushed last month's tournament. That leaves five places open for... devonfish5 Craigcu12 CoxyLBoro Cenachav MRBURNS4 Congrats guys - you're all registered. Don't forget to turn up and play! Sam. Posted by Sky_Sam
