I suppose I should've done my scouting before all the boxscores blew up...

Same here.

Wow, my staff salaries are increasing at 1k per week per person now. Pretty harsh.

How many would be in for a default-mtie for all league games? Just wondering. It's one way around the enthusiasm system that would benefit all NBBA teams.

My suggestion from way back in the day (12303.1)

Any other suggestions? If we come up with a good one I'm sure it'll be taken into consideration. Even the BB's have stated the current system isn't very good.

"default mtie", as in you have to notify your opponent anytime you're going to N or CT? Or do you mean like a mandatory tie, where normalling in completely forbidden. I can't wrap my head around the former, and the latter would be really punishing to the struggling teams.

I am intrigued by the idea of taking things into our own hands.

More the former, which is much like the non-so-secret version which is occurring now but more organized and in the open. Anyone in the "mtie all league games" pool would know the tie is assumed against those teams.

Ideally everyone would want to which would put everyone on even terms. I wouldn't be surprised if we got everyone on board just to see the BB's roll out a new system.

I've finally gotten the stomach for these agreements on a game-by-game basis. Those long-standing agreements that some teams have, that's way too much for me. You're right that some of the problems would go away if the agreements were universal, but I'm hesitant to even consider it because if participation in the program was wide but not complete, I think we'd have something much worse than we have currently. A big clique of teams manipulating the system is worse than a few pairs here and there, isn't it? Or maybe I'm underestimating the current situation.

Might be that is already the case. Have to guess that most teams MTIE, hence the attention when a team that has a history of not MTIE'ing changing their stance. I'm not sure if most teams do it every game, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

I've done it almost every game this season, except for a couple games. And in those couple games, it would have been a good idea for the opponent (and me) to TIE.

As long as it's an infinitely better idea for both teams to TIE every game, it will happen almost every game.
