[...] I'm fairly sure it's just an example of an unrostered high div player mercing for a very low skill team, Don't think Iceland actually has any high div players worth mentioning.

So you are suggesting to allow mercs that are not from the same country? I only just realised that. Wouldn't that kind of destroy the purpose of a nations cup and national teams?

[...] If Iceland or wherever wants b4nny as a merc, a huge game changer, the other team can say no.

[...] http://etf2l.org/forum/user/21695/ http://etf2l.org/forum/user/48105/ Thanks for calling my co-leader a liar.

[...] This...this is a lie. One person, 'Anne'! And the average number of matches played for each player in your team is about 60! Don't be doggin' on the small countries man, get outta here!

[...] You don't appreciate the difficulty small counties have; this is going nowhere. You're resisting change as per your prerogative. All right. Thanks for listening.

[...] I am referring to Week 2, where Ireland did not have any games. Of course there are a lot of games to fit in, I'm not denying that. You had to play a game every 5 days, honestly it's not as hard as you're making it out to be.

It is not revolving around i49, it is to prevent the playoff rounds from both the HLNC and the 6V6NC from clashing, as lots of players will be involved in both. With the schedule we had, it just seemed fitting to finish it before i49 rather than have a break randomly between Quarter and Semi Finals.

[...] Oh please. A week off? We had to play 4 matches in the space of about 15 days during which time the people who actually play highlander also had 2 UGC officials. What is this week off you're referring to? Either way, there was a lot to squeeze in within a short period of time; 6 officials in just over two weeks if you're willing to have a holistic view and accept that players into highlander are likely playing UGC. There is disparity between how highlander is handled and how 6v6 is handled which is unfortunate. Not just with the short "weeks" and the cup, even the general league. ETF2L does highlander better than UGC but it's only twice a year and the groups are tiny. I digress. I think it is reasonable to allow even two mercs and one wildcard, and schedule it better so it does not revolve around a 6v6 event (i49 basically). [...] This...this is a lie. One person, 'Anne'!

[...] The default dates were most definitely not random. This is to prevent being biased towards a certain team, the default dates that were going to be given out were decided before the Cup began. As has been said before, a catch up week would severely delay the competition, which has been scheduled to finish before i49. In your group of 5 you already had a week off, maybe you could have asked to play a game during that?

[...] we've got people on our roster that have never even played competitive period! ;)

We tried to minimise the overlap as good as we could. One cup had to start earlier and it just happened to be the HL NC. i49 seemed to be a good time to have it wrapped up.

That is only logical but why should that be an issue and what does that have to do with the topic?
