I have not received much feedback from the first round, so I gather that you all enjoyed the game. Here are my initial thoughts for the next round.<br><br>
Tentative dates: April 27 (Fri) - May 20 (Sun) [24 days]<br><br>
Registration begins around April 20th.<br><br>
Similar random selection remains. Goal is 10-15 player per team. Team size depends on number of registered participants.<br><br>
Current VRAA Champions must play and win the next round to retain their title. At this time, I am not apt to keep the winning team together. Team size depends on number of participants and it is entirely possible that all teams will not have 15 players again. It would not be fair to individuals who get left off their team.<br><br>
I'm thinking of a couple minor scoring modifications:<br><br>
- Increasing road cycling from 1pt per mile, to 1.5 or 2 pts per mile.<br><br>
- Increasing swimming from 1pt per 100yds, to 1.5 or 2pts per 100yds.<br><br>
Overall, I like the scoring system. The reason for changing the cycling points is that there was no incentive to get outside. One could earn just as many, or more points on a stationary bike. Regarding swimming, there were not too many swim points earned in the last round. I'd like to encourage more swimming.<br><br>
Please post here any ideas/recommendations that you would like to see added to the game.<br>
