I'm happy to drop the additional matches and have 4 matches then go into the semi-final thing that you had laid out before... which was the original play with the boycotts.
but if other people see merit in having ways to prove improvement then the solution I offered I think would be the best way to do that. I am open to being wrong on the matter though.

There is no going straight to playoffs, because the playoffs include div 2b. Like i dont get what youre not understanding about this. YOULL BE WAITING MONTH WITH NO MATCHES. Because the playoffs are split... div 2b NEEDS to be done before div 2 playoffs start. And they currently arent having any issues with their schedules...
Like i said if all the teams are alright with waiting then im fine with it.

Div2B has the same fucked up system FYI. I kinda support Kash here, implement his stuff for both div2s imo.

we dont have to cancel the matches, they can still be played. Just the score wont be officially marked.

Time for me to pitch in I guess. :)
Im with the following 2 ideas:
* Skipping all 2nd matches.
* Doing the thing Kash suggested.
I am... not convinced with the whole "For now just play the games and the duplicate matches may or may not be scored. :D".
It leaves the door open for scoring unfair matches, and unfair matches were the whole idea to not play them to begin with.
Having 'only' 4 matches is no issue. The scene is currently active, folk from other divs also want to play, everyone wants to play. Everyone is present. If folk dont play officials, we play PCW.
My main vote is 'go for 1 each and fix it next season with a better system'.

Why can't we do full playoffs?
1 round robin for both D2A and D2B. First 4 teams from each div go to playoffs.

Or even something like this: http://i.imgur.com/OCNu1x3.png then all 8 teams will have matches till the end. The only exception is 5th teams in each div.
Ok so I have been asked to have input on this - here is my input fix ur shit NSL
*1st of all fix the duplicated matches there is no need for them ( same thing happened last season and were removed why should it be a different format if it is its confusing the fek out of ppl ) im not too fused tbh but seems a waste of my time a a great deal of other peoples as well trying to sort international matches is a pain in the bum (fun but a pain ) and why is div 2 a and div 2b ply times a moth apart ....boggles me
2nd *I was under the impression we would have a server to play on that would give us mutual 150 ping for euros so far was 250 our way to 150 there's max .
just remove the matches plz the nsl is retreated enough without this nonsense !

As leader and player of Horror Show I was very happy to see our second match against HBZ and iSay, it is the most desired opponent for us. Like a Glove (hard schedule) and ATV (low skill) is less desired so I'm very happy to play this official matches and will get very frustrated if you want to deny this exciting matches owing to iSay who doesn't want to play ATV twice.
What about scores? I do not care about scores (absolutely) all I want is to play official matches and conquer other contestants as much as my team can.

And yeah despite that I said in my post I respect other teams wishes so if others (majority) want to cancel matches I will accept that without complaints and drama

Just a side note. But a important one. I know more people said it, but let me put it out anyway.
It is not bad to have some teams play more then 1 match if its FAIR.
A example..
Lets take the top 2 teams. If the 1 matches each are done, they won right?
Lets assume those are iSay and Horror Show.
Now if both those teams want to have a final vs each other after they played every team once, why not?
Then let the 3rd and 4th play also if they so please.
Hell make the 5th in both subdivisions play each other if you want. Presto, much more fair.
If anyone sees any mistakes in the above, just dont do it. Fairness first, we can always PCW!
We wouldn't have this problem in the first place if people with experience all started new teams and learned the noobs (thats me) instead of all joining together and owning said noobs. So there. You are all the problem!
But for a more serious opinion. We joined to get hands-on experience. More matches = more experience. If those two extra matches don't count, people will try strange tactics and give less experience for my team. And therefore I couldn't care less but prefer the original scheme.
Then: (I'll let you in on a secret) We lost our matches on purpose so we could dominate in our rematch with CI. Underdog style. If that match suddenly doesnt count. Our losses will have been for nothing.
Furthermore, I would suggest people take this a little bit less serious and start having fun. Let's focus on the bigger issue, we have a ginger in our team!
As always, make pizza! not war.

Lol, you just came to a competitive scene and told people not to take it seriously XD
but fair enough, so far its what 5 - 2 on the "we want to see this shit changed" meter.... only 3 more teams to comment and we can get on with the season.

HBZ is for playing each team only once.
It's not just about fairness and equal chances, but I also think it is better to keep the season short.
NS2 reaches its player count peak around december / january, so we should start a new season in january and maybe get some more teams.
In with the new, while keeping the old, I say.

My team (ATV) is filled with people who played a bit of comp (newcomer tournament) and who never played comp.
So its not true that no team takes new people in. (Although few do)
But that is NOT the problem. Even if you have 6 new teams, in those 6 new some are bound to be better then other teams.
Not playing each team the same amount still gives for a unfair advantage.
Your comment about more matches = more experience is unrelated. How can you get more experience?
PCWs.
If you think 'strange tactics' do not count as experience, then I have news for you. They do. Many teams actually try different stuff in officials BECAUSE the default strategies are predictable. If you always do the same, your enemy will just make a strategy to perfectly counter it.
If you gave away a match then thats sort of your problem. And even more silly since you said that you want more officials to gain experience.
You dont get that with throwing the match.

To give a bit of an update, not every team has stated their feelings about the change yet. But im thinking the best course of action will most likely be limiting the season to the 1 match per team. I will have a much more detailed update later in week on this situation.
I just wanted to get something out there. So people didnt think this was forgetten or anything.
