i don't like changing the "plan" when i have said otherwise for the last few weeks or so, but frankly the response to the chance of playing on the irish team has certainly surprised me, and others too, i'm sure. the fact that there are a lot of people interested also means that the squad should be made up from people who can be, and are online playing every night, to ensure we have a team that is ready for this league. also, i "prematurely" (?) put people on the team and left a few slots open for "the rest", while i find after watching last night's games that some of "the rest" show themselves to be good enough to take any place on this team, just as much as the guys that were put in there two weeks ago. after talking to some of the guys, i'm going to do what i think is the fairest allround way of picking this team, i'm (almost) wiping the slate and i'm going to pick a squad of eight players from scratch, with the exception of beast/ser/koopa.
for people who don't know, beast/ser/koopa are three guys who have generally represented the country since we ever started playing, from qw thru to q3, and while they are not currently available for regular practise online, there is a general consensus that they are that good, and they should be on the team. so they are going to be kept on the a squad, but likely to be on the bench unless they are drastically needed.
with those three guys moved, everyone else is going to have an equal chance, and there are eight places that will be filled from the guys who have been showing an interest, and turning up to trials. i have a reasonable idea of who these eight guys will be, but want to see demos first of all. if you aren't in the following list and think you should be, mail me.
ok, i want 2 tdm demos (last night's where possible) from:

killy (recvd)
saik (recvd)
anarchy (recvd)
overlord (recvd)
melachi (recvd)
sno (recvd)
z3on (recvd)
dest (recvd)
sky (recvd)
vincent (recvd)
shaun (2 tdm demos of your choice)

mail them in zip format to me. like i said, if i am missing anyone let me know. the quicker i get demos, the quicker the team is going to be picked. i think after the last few trials etc, this is the best way to do it, we are all (going to be) part of the same team here so if anyone has any problems with the way things are run, post up here and we can sort it out.

Imho,
I have always said that its all fine and dandy picking koopa/ser and beast for lan games, they shouldnt be on a on-line team if they cannot play for the team.

..are only named on it, they aren't taking up places, it will be reconsidered if we have to submit a certain sized squad to CB.

... there'll likely be no limit on squad size, but only two players from the same clan can be playing at once - not such a problem for ie as it is for some other countries, but worth noting.

Its not just for lan games, Koopa and Ser were just busy the last couple of weeks but are available to play on the net and do.

squad thing never a problem for ireland, when i did the irish ctf thing we worked around it with the admins although clanbase might take a different line.
