people dont want to be told when to play games, theyd rather just play games whenever they want, plus with the league system teams are more focused on winning cause if you lose in the league, you lose 3 points which you cant get back. whereas in a ladder system you can make up for a loss therefore games would be more fun as there wouldnt be as much pressure to win:)
edit: also i dont think ppl like being told who to play against, id rather not play teams at all if playing with them is no fun

yep, If i have certain dates I HAVE to play, it makes it less fun, because maybe im not feeling like it that day, (bad example
)but yes, a ladder is far better imo

Indeed...
People should only play when they want to and are avaliable. I often see my team have 5 people there playing against pickup players, as there is never any team avaliable, and if they are, they don't wanna "risk" a dbl match. Besides, a strict schedule may force an unprepared team: what happens usually is having to get 5 players nearly on the time, as some aren't avaliable, taking on a team that probably doesn't want to play like that (and let's not forget deathball is growing old).
A non schedule system wouldn't "force" players to be so stressy about a match, giving them the freedom to play when and who against they want to play.
So... straight to the point: shall we kick clanbase back in, or create an independent ladder ourselves?

imo, CB allready created a ladder system, don't really get the point in creating a new ladder system
+ CB admins aren't part of db community, so no more partiality problems and having cb ladder active could bring new teams, as most of them died while waiting a new season of dbl

imo, there will be a distinct lack of interest in a new season of DBL (if it ever starts). I think that this is the best way to go in the short term at least

don't have time to read all this, but anyways:
we already had this discussion...I can remember sqleaf and me coming up with clanbase ideas, but as in many other threads there is a lot of talking, but nothing happens....
This thread is 6 days old (maybe not that long) and nothing is happening...
lets ask the admin of the DB ladder on clanbase to clean the whole ladder and let us add clans again...
Would be a good fresh start...I really miss having matches
