Play points until it runs out; add time if it runs out with a tie.<br /><br />If only there were a league out there that offered such a format. I bet it would be very popular.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-75936891258867899062011-09-22T15:04:31.582-04:002011-09-22T15:04:31.582-04:00Can we go back to the days when teams just decide ...Can we go back to the days when teams just decide to tie because they are tired?Don Saavedrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08556414730946720412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-31305604621331654132011-09-22T14:56:25.658-04:002011-09-22T14:56:25.658-04:00I agree Simon.

To all the sudden drop 6 players, and remove the whole teamwork/communication element for your deciding factor of who wins doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I orginally was thinking that if you dropped it down to 6v6 or 5v5 just to change it up a little, it'd make sense. I definitely like your proposal on how to handle the tie breaker.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-55137657087144396662011-09-22T10:45:26.478-04:002011-09-22T10:45:26.478-04:00I don't believe 1 V 1's are ever that exci...I don't believe 1 V 1's are ever that exciting or the best way to decide a team sport. There's also a larger element of luck involved. <br /><br />I'd rather see such an important result decided by another game (hopefully to get an outright winner) and then if the body count is a draw at full time sudden death of who loses a body next.Simonhttp://www.simonized.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-91166949540447205272011-09-22T09:03:41.492-04:002011-09-22T09:03:41.492-04:00Hi Tom, when you're done on here, can you retu...Hi Tom, when you're done on here, can you return my phone call please.

One can argue the merits of the rules as written but then the thing to do is change them--not ignore or over rule them by whim.<br />And seriously if the "story" keeps changing how can anybody know what to believe?<br /><br />None of our players have to compete in the NPPL. It is a voluntary choice. Those in charge of the team made the original decision there was potential value to acquiring a stake in the league. Beyond that we're getting into internal team issues and I won't talk about those here.<br /><br />As I understand it the 1v1 was thought to be more exciting to watch.Bacahttp://viewfromthedeadbox.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-57891961109792569912011-09-22T01:18:07.367-04:002011-09-22T01:18:07.367-04:00Wait, I can't pick a story.

No clue if that's actually true or not(I wasn't there), that's just what I heard online.<br /><br />So why do you guys continue to support a league, that where apparently every event there's some huge controversial issue?<br /><br />I suppose you don't have to answer that, but could you answer this question for me - what's the logic/idea behind having a 1v1 settle a tie breaker or sudden death or whatever the NPPL calls it? If they're so for 7-man... why settle a game/match breaker with a 1 on 1?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-10313987661500574862011-09-21T20:19:47.501-04:002011-09-21T20:19:47.501-04:00Nice effort, TBone, to take the time to set up a p...Nice effort, TBone, to take the time to set up a phony account to look like you're not the usual gutless anonymous critic.

I know that's a hard distinction for a dumbass to comprehend but if you don't know what's going on stick to making cheap shots on PBN.
