Good points. For this game, I'd like to adapt the hockey clue game pickup style of picking teams. First 16 come get to play, and 2 will volunteer being captains. There will be a coin toss to choose which captain gets to choose first, then captains will pick people out of the pool of 16 players (and will reserve observers, because first show up should play) pick order should be the follow, a b b a a b b a a b b a a b a b (Ob Oa Oa Ob for observers who are willing to participate) Hope this works, and if it does then we will continue this tradition for upcoming SC vs DD, DD vs BB, and more to come. leemy Zachary Uram wrote: > haha how bout all-BBs vs all-SCs that would last real long > [chuckle] > > On Mon, 15 Jan 2001, Tom Holub wrote: > > > On Mon, Jan 15, 2001 at 04:05:55PM -0500, Kevin M Bernatz wrote: > > > > On Mon, 15 Jan 2001, Yomyung Leem wrote: > > > > > > > > Any suggestion will be nice! > > > > > > If the clue level is not balanced, the entire result will be > > > meaningless.
