Creating a National Team

If you guys wanna do one, one of you needs to start a thread where all can volunteer as coach. We are gonna email all players who are entered for this specific country and link them to the thread.
Let this thread go for a couple of days, then organize a vote somewhere, we will link all players to this poll again.

Let this poll go for 3 days or so, then link us league admins to it, so we can kinda validate the team.
So there is one official team...otherwise everybody would start his own national team and in the end we have 10 German teams or so. :confused:

Ok, one problem: when we start the polls, how should we do it?
Doing it on another secret forum would suck because nobody would bother registering just for a single vote. Doing it here would be public and others could fuck up your poll.
So my suggestion, we do it here, but with normal replies. So no cheating.

I think the UK is undecided atm? =0 however would there be any chance of running more than 1 cup simultaneously? so that if some countrys have more players than others, they can submit more than one team?

cos prolly UK NL GER etc will have more than enough players for 2 or 3 teams. Since the DBL allows mulitple teams from the same clan (i.e. TEZC-L/D, cY.13/red/blue) cant the nations cup?

Maybe 2 squads then with 12 players in each. ? 1 team can be filled with first choice players and the other with reserves. e.g. none of the first squad can get a keeper a backup one can be used from the reserves. This would possibly allow more ppl to get a game, and would prevent any forfeits due to missing players =/

4 Attacker/Mid x2
4 Defender/Mid x2
2 Allround Players x2
2 Keepers x2

wouldnt work
-big mess
-crappy performance
-causes lags

a db map is an open space, you just see all at once, thats why 5on5 or 6on6 is really the max
