This decision is sound and has my personal support! (while I’m bummed about the 10v10 and think I would have liked to stay in that ladder)
Thsi decision was made by those senior members of the IPX gaming team, not the BoD. It was/is those who play the games choice! However I personally commend them for their efforts and the courage and strength to make this decisions, and if anyone wants to take thw tinw to read it, explain in my view Why I personally believe this decision is a good one (noting I wasn’t involved in the decision making process) A multitude of reasons, and while there are some very good arguements for remaining in the comps (such as “we must play to improve” and “we get better from playing better teams”), all valid arguements, I’m going to focus more on the positives of “reducing our gaming commitment”
With fail setup/co-ordination/administrators (by comp providers… If you can call them providers (not even supplying game servers), it would be incorrect of us to continue to support a system which is administratively, in my view,incorrect – if people accpet this poor system here; it will continue to grow and spread and become the norm… Gah that would be bad!
We are a little more “social gaming focused” then the extremist competitors of which were pitched against. We were, due to the “challenge down the ladder for points” system, we were being picked on and used as a points whipping boy! This is a poor reflection on the teams who abused our love of the game for points sake.
Losing is good, you learn, but continous losing does have its negative effects on moral and desire to play! If we loss our “love” or desire to play, it’s bad for us, and the rest of the teams in the ladder.. Why? We drop out!
We probably over committed for our numbers/commitment level players to sustain 4 comps simultaneously – not a negative, just a reality really of our teams composition/numbers of people with the game/skill levels (this is evident by team prac attendance and also the filling of challenge tables)
Anyway they were some quick thoughts. I have more and I’m sure you can think of heaps too!
To take away, we are still playing… Better selecting comps etc which suit us… Still having fun (which is what it’s about)

(this was gunna be a WTF with shad… But I’m at work and thought it more important to put out ASAP after thinking abOut It overnight rather then wait till tonight!
