My guess is that CPL will get a 3rd team into the WL.

Yellowknife or Manitoba if so, and they play in a scrim tomorrow. Both very solid teams.

Yea, i thought bort stated before that if a team from a certain region gutted he'd move up a team from the same region following the same rules they used to follow for AAA to pro

Would that said team also come from the same conference? Or does it go by record for the two conference championship losers?

Edit: If it goes by record Manitoba would make the jump.

I think it'd be like the AAA to Pro thing. Would go to the conf championship losers and go by total wins that season

This happened after Season 11 with the Singapore Marauders, didn't it?

They made the S11 WL playoffs then closed up shop, went into rebuild, or whatever.

Another SEAPL team was promoted to the WL to take their place, I believe from the Marauders' old SEAPL conference.

The reason SEAPL has had 7 WL participants and all others have had 6.

Pa Dong made the jump when Marauders demoted, they had the better record of the two teams that lost the conference championship. But do they still get the option at that point since they didn't win pro? or is it a forced move?

edit- and they are from the same conference as the marauders were...

I would imagine it's an option and if they decline bort goes down the list until someone accpts

I thought teams just backdoored their way into USAPL. I didn't know it happened in WL too

especially when you have to be a play off team to stick around...recruiting is just too much for some teams to handle i guess!

pffff, recruiting is easy mode. just point out to them that you won WL last season, and most will sign with you.


oh... right.

I know, looking at all of those terrible builds, and gently breaking the news to them that they aren't worthwhile

Heartbreaking to say the least.

Hey we didn't want to backdoor our way in. We were originally supposed to be in it season 11 also (as another backdoor team because BLPP was folding) but we opted not, got tons of shit for it, and figure that we should go up anyways, and got our asses kicked lol

Next time we end up here though it will be with a Pro championship under our belt

ESL opted out that season as well didn't they?
