There were a total of 29 team signups, with over 250 players. Two divisions would mean more teams bumped up to Division 1 & 2.

 

New teams (with little to no experience in 6's) thrown into Div 2 would cause panic as they might feel discouraged being faced with players who are more experienced. This is the same for teams that signed up for Div 2 but ended up in Div 1. I know that this is already the case, but rosters have been checked through and no team has been bumped up just purely for the sake of bumping teams up.

 

Two divisions will also be a logistical nightmare as this would mean 14/15 teams in each division which would be either a longer tournament with the round robin system or a shorter tournament with double elimination that will have teams pay 6 ref for 2 rounds of play. Both divisions also have teams from all over Asia which will cause potential ping problems. I know that this is inevitable and already present, but having three divisions would lessen the ping problems from potentially 6~10 matches with 100~200 ping to about 3~4, less even.

 

I've already talked to some players regarding the bumping, and all I can say is to take this in stride. It isn't easy for the admins also, as there are teams whose skill level span all three divisions, and are a lot of team sign ups this year, with no equal amount of sign ups for divisions.

 

Think about this positively - you guys will be pushed to your limits, especially if you're in a higher division than expected, which would naturally lead to a large improvement after 9 to 10 weeks. It's one of the greatest ways to improve - playing regularly with people who are more experienced and better than you. A good reflection of who you are is who you choose to surround yourself with. Just remember to stay focused, positive and keep practicing with your team.

Thanks for the response. I think there wouldn't be panic in two divisions because the skill pool is pretty even throughout if it was split in half. It was because of the unequal signups that I asked about 2 divs.

 

Fair point on the logistics issue. Since its like this, we'll have to wait and see if the season is truly balanced.

 

"no team has been bumped up just purely for the sake of bumping teams up. ""

 

I take your word for this :) :) :) :) :)

The skill pool, if there were two divisions, ranges both ends of the largest spectrum you can dream of. Also, there were a lot of teams that signed up for Div 3, and although it has been discussed before to only have two divisions, it would not be possible to scrape the division with the most sign-ups.

 

Also, I wasn't the only one bumping teams as I don't know the skill level of each and every player. Cross-referencing amongst the admins was done.
