'-Sprint in 1st league cuz the pro's need to play the pro version'

if that's not forcing, then what is?

We suggested doing this, which doesn't mean that we actually do it.

In first division: Sprint always on

that suggestion to me sounds like a very forcefull way

Anyway, Im off to lunch now

But tbh i dont think our comments and suggestions will be listened to anyway.. We all know that come the first season next week or when ever in the rules we will be seeing

Home Team Decides On Sprint

So this whole post will be a waste of time

Take it to a vote so we can decide this beyond any reasonable doubt. The debate has been going on for far too long.

The problem is, that only 5 guys say the same things here over and over

we'll make a poll, and ask all league players to vote

yea Axl i agree. its discussion and stalling followed by the same action that was gonna be taken in the first place. even tho the general opinion was against that action.

"the general opinion was against that action."

thats the thing I dont know, only know the opinion of 10-20 people

Speaking as leader of a clan heading for Division 2 for the upcoming season I know I shouldn't get too much of a say with the "Div1 rules" thing. However, I don't believe that there should be a rule-difference between the divisions. If div1 did end up playing with sprint on and the rest with it off then how unfair would that be for those teams promoted to division one next season? They would start off with a big disadvantage by having to adapt to the different style. Sure, they could play lots of sprint-enabled friendlies with obliging teams before the start of the next season but that is no substitute for all the teams who have played a whole season with sprint to learn how to best use it.

While some of my team like sprint (me included), most of them do not. I think, this is mainly due to people just not practicing it enough to learn how usefull it can be and because it can change gameplay quite a lot. Very few pubs have sprint enabled and while I have tried to organize some sprint-enabled friendlies, I usually get so many complaints that I have to turn it off.

Therefore, I believe the best way is to leave sprint off for ALL divisions unless BOTH teams agree to play with it on.

To cater for those few of us who want to play some meaningfull games with sprint. I would love to have Nab's DBL Sprint-Cup (beat me to that suggestion :p) as an optional competition running along side the League every season

We ARE going to have cups, right?

And besides, if what you guys say is right and ppl will like sprint once they get used to it - If you have it so sprint is on only if both teams decide, as the season goes on, more and more games will become sprint ones.

(note, thats only if you think ppl will warm to sprint once they play with it more. Im not convinced that is the case. either way everyone comes out with something to smile about)

DBL Sprint-Cup

That is a fucking good idea. That should be used, definitely. Keep the DBL pure and simple, and the cups can be used for having fun.

and then teams can show that they are adept in both disciplines by trying to do the double $\o/$
