: It saddens me to see this ladder continue to degrade. One team after another tossing in the towel. While we know the Shack game needs improvement I believe we as Team members can do something to improve the ladder itself.
: One of the reasons the Royals team left was because we hurried up to wait. When we had 3 in the room we would play for 20 minutes then wait 30 min for the next match. Sometimes we would have 3 but had to wait for an other team to finish its match so we could play the 1 v 2 match. More waiting.
: I think one way to reduce the wait between matchs is to reduce the stakes in our games to one. WE currently play best two of three games and best 2 of 3 to make the match. I would like to see us go to a single stake game and play this ladder based on 2 team memebers winning a single stake game to call the match a win.
: I know there are tourny teams that are very interested in our ladder and would love to play but do NOT want to play a 4 stake game. They want to play fast, have fun and make new friends. So do I, Dont' you??
: I know there will be some 'ney' sayers who will speak up that this is NOT the way this ladder was designed. Maybe that is true but with the closing of the Zone I feel we need to change or we will have to close this ladder. I, for one, have given this ladder many years, proud to be part of this ladder and I'm NOT ready to toss the towel in yet! Are you?? LETS Change!! Lets grow and have FUN !!!
: What do you think?? Are you ready to put it in the voting booth??

i have enjoyed playing team crib and have met a lot of very nice people in teams , and some not so nice, but i have enjoyed playing them as well. i don,t think going to a one stake game would make a bit difference in getting more players or team in here.
we played at six stake match,s in the zone and always had a team to play when we finnished our pervious match. the way this site is working a one stake match would only bennfit the team who picked the right side to sit on and that would be the up as they have choice,and the down team would stay down.
also who or what team would want to come in to play team crib after they see some of the fighting and beckering that go,s on in the lobby some nites. it,s bad enough to come in to play and not have a team to play because there isn,t one ready but to want to play and not have enough team members in because there sick and tired of having to wait to play because there,s a team ready to play but can,t play them because we didn,t have a match in between our last match with them, and if we did someone would ^@*!# & complain .
we have (royal_cribbers) sat while other teams played because we were a down and was out ranked by an up because they had rank and asked the up team . one of the reasons teams came here was no one wanted the rules we had in the other sites but the way it looks we need some rules.
if things change for the better the way teams rule themselves or the game it self gets more on an even keel the way cards are delt and not so one sided i may bring a team back , but untill then i,ll sit on the sidelines looking in and maybe sub if a team needs one, untill good luck all and happy peging
