or the homofones, for that matter.What about the homophobes?
Nick - one thing i don't get is why you keep insisting Xball requires exactly the right number of teams. the worst that happens is a team gets a bye if you have an odd number of teams. PSP Open Xball (D1) seems to work well enough with an open, unlocked division.
It just seems to me you either have to make allowance for "undefined" players (be they pro, semi-pro, novide - anyone who's not already in the system) to play the series at an appropriate level (like PSP Open Xball), or have a system in place to identify anyone who should be restricted. Without a worldwide ID system, you won't be able to conclusively tell who's a pro and who isn't. Sure, you'll probably catch the Dynasty players. But what about the guys like Chris Remuzzi from Bad Company? Chris and a couple of BC guys guested in Toulousse. Now I would consider Chris a pro, but what is his official status? Without a comprehensive ID system, it's open for debate which means you're back to inconsistency or favoritism.
