Edward Howard2 said:So, I went ahead and voted for the old way... mostly because I just don't have the bandwidth to sit around arguing about rule changes right now.
The pre-season debate was pretty thin, so there wasn't even much of a real choice to make when it came to voting.
As for these proposals... look, I'm obviously against moderators stepping in to call the shots, especially when they aren't actually contributing anything to making these competitions better or helping them grow.
Regarding that entry list... we're heading in the wrong direction here. They're messing with the very principles that the super league was built on in the first place. It was founded to be a league for our champions, and that's how it’s worked up until now. But next year? That won't be the case, because some champions won't even get a shot at playing. It won't feel like an "S" tier super league anymore, let alone some elite competition on the subforum.
Honestly, the list was solid from day one. They could have just left it exactly as it was last year, since it had already been tweaked back then anyway.
Just like always, unfortunately.😢
Maybe we should wait until the middle of the season to start arguing about next year's rules.🤷
It's pretty obvious that this just doesn't work during the off-season.

Look, someone's gotta do it.🤷
There isn't even a host, really. If I said the hosts were making the calls, it would basically mean I'm the one deciding everything—and honestly, I just don't want that kind of responsibility.
And again, letting everyone argue over every single decision by topic... honestly, it’s just pointless.
Expecting every single player to vote on every little thing that pops up or to weigh in on every major decision is just an illusion. It's unrealistic.
Even when it comes to debating the rules—which, let's be honest, barely happens anyway—you’d think everyone would suddenly find their voice the second a decision actually gets made.

Look, this list isn't exactly perfect since I whipped it up on the fly, but honestly, it’s not like it’s too late to debate it or fix things if I need to.
It’s a little stupid to be doing this after the season has already kicked off, but I guess it's not impossible. There isn't really any massive impact on the current season anyway—at least not until we hit the halfway point.
Honestly, I think that whole thing about the team championship—especially when it’s a lesser one—is just a bad call. He shouldn't even be on the list. Even if he is, there's absolutely no way he should be ranked high up there.
It just doesn't make any sense to have someone playing in the Super League when their individual results are theoretically garbage.
Look, I think it would be pretty ridiculous if I theoretically jumped into the Superleague 2013 just because you won the championship. I finished 10th, yet here I am—the "champion" (if you can even call me that) getting a spot to race, despite not winning a single other thing in any competition.
Honestly, that would be pretty stupid. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to play it, but it’d feel totally lame considering everyone else has pulled off way better results than I have.🤷
The only thing I can think of regarding these team champions/runners-up on the list—if we're talking about making sense of things (looking at the old list)
is that a team championship should only count if that champion also managed to snag at least one decent result from a teammate (better or worse) on this same list. If they’re the only ones who did anything, then just wipe them off the list entirely. 🤷
Because if they couldn't manage to pull off even something like this:
21. a top four finish in a major Formula 1 tournament
22. a top four finish in a minor Formula 1 tournament
23. third place in the precise positioning trophy
24. fifth place in the Formula 1 championship
then I honestly have no clue why a team champion (better or worse) would get to play the Super league, while someone like a tournament finalist or a runner-up from the championship or Superleague wouldn't deserve it.
