Re: [Official 2005 Game Design] Radical Tournament Ideas

Or, to piggyback/simplify the idea...get the top 32 teams across all four divisions (33 if you want a play-in game), and line up all 2XX teams on Einstein. (Alright, so it might be better for divisional fairness if we did the top eight from each with cross-picking)

Not only do all of the teams get their moment in the spotlight, it also forces teams to work together, lest you not even know about that team over on Curie that would be great for you. Of course, given the fun we had with TacOps on Archimedes when we had our alliance selections with just ONE division...(grin)

I'm just trying to make D. Kelly's job more of an annoyance. (double grin)
