Sam has said before that they follow CR restrictions "loosely", as far as I'm concerned you just hit the jackpot ;)

yeah, made a post about that last week. Everyone has to play everyone once, if its the same figure that would be ok, or should it be luck of the drawer, another PA kinda thing I guess. One thing I have to keep reminding myself about things being fair in this world. (especially before making wild claims about how things have a low pressure on one side and high pressure on the other making them move in a sucky direction, the 1st day of the year when only awake 3 minutes and rather under the weather if you get my drift :rolleyes: ahh oops too much.. bugnog?!)

But you can already see that it is not the same figure for every team when they face Team Ghost in the Atom. Or at least against an AI team, Ghost in the Atom only brought the league max of 475.

The same thing can be seen throughout the leagues after this past weekend:

Div1 - 625 max CR
Custom Iron Commandos vs Team Texan Truckers 635 - 0 S424933
5x5 vs Team The Dingos 652 - 0 S424974
The Hellrazors vs Team Debbie Does Dallas 698 - 0 S424996

Div2 - 550 max CR
Team Apocalypse Rising vs Bloody Renshai 0 - 579 S424866

Div5 - 325 max CR
Junkyard Dogs vs Team Hammerstein 342 - 0 S423240

Unfortunately none of these AI teams have had a second match against a human opponent which was actually played to test whether or not they will always bring the additional CR. I don't how often league standings come down to demo points, but even if it does, I'm not certain how big a deal this is. Sure there would be an element of luck in drawing an AI team which brings additional CR, but don't most of the league standings come down to how one does against the other human players in the league?

ok I amend my statement.  Actually if you can beat the AI and show up to your own matches consistently you can win stuff in the SCL but you may reach a point to where you can't advance any further because players are beating you.

Ghost in the atom last event was 530 in div 3(475), this week Firelight rats only brought 425. So well under is also possible I see, never took much note previously.

This sucks that NPC CRs are going to decide things.

Get them out of the leagues entirely. Shrink to 3-4 divisions.

+1 - Its the Squad Combat League not the Scout Combat League

As I've said before 3 divisions is all the player base can really support - skill max 60, 120, 180 - remove inactive teams and allow substitutions for each division.  Maybe increase prizes too, all we get in the SCL is money, which is cool but by the time people get 180 skill level gangers money is not as important as a new Cougar... ;)

On thought about this, I think its working.

Money is good,.. different to other big leagues,.. attracts a different crowd perhaps.

5 Divs can be good for many reasons. More variation.

NPC teams adds more variation and a random element. That is a very good thing. I face 411 yesterday, thats WAY under the limit, these things have a way of working out... you need the points. The team putting in the most effort is winning anyway, so its working fine.

Our Div 3 team can possibly not proceed. My bad, I failed to fill the squad for each event due to error. I tried to talk to some other teams to help us,.. but I can only blame myself as team leader for this. One of our teams may have to disband... or I'll have to go it alone.
