we must raise the line at all levels of play, not just at the top (although it is very important there as well)

would any low-level teams be interested in a program where you'd scrim a mid-level team and receive coaching after the session?
I especially want to hear from those around D7 or D8, as I think facing anything further down the comp ladder would fall off in terms of effectiveness

might start this project up very soon and see if it does anything
if not, then oh well, I just want more cross-play between mid-level and low-level because there are some really good players in low-level that would climb into mid-level if they got the chance to prove themselves (1/2)

had a really cool idea for something
basically, it would be the comp splatoon version of a "wonderkid" (the soccer/football term for high-potential youth players) list
this wouldn't be based on age, but rather current playing level (likely LI eligible), and would be revisited every 3-6 months 🧵

my first impression of the Excalibur 8s server is that it's actually pretty solid and well-made (and this is coming from someone who has been skeptical of CoE tournaments in the past)
I hope they continue down this path and not make what feels like a new tournament series every week lol

interesting video on seeding that shows how dense competition is and why it's so hard to get seeding right
I wish we manually seeded more tournaments so that cool research like this could be done, but I know that's not happening anytime soon
