BAL-SACK is entirely too long.  We need to shorten this up and I feel the word choice is random. 

I figure BA is a good start but the rest is just random shit to create a dick joke, I don't want my clan to revolve around a dick joke. 

Anyone else agree?

My Idea: Anyone with a physical dictionary go to the B's and go to "Ba" and list out all the words starting with Ba that are less than 5 letters in length

I figure BA is a good start but the rest is just random shit to create a dick joke, I don't want my clan to revolve around a dick joke. 

I tried to search an online dictionary with "ba*.*"  but I couldn't get a list of words on the site I tried.   

Lets get a list and try and figure out a different meaning.

Anyone else agree?

If there is a separate time for Euros, might I be able to play in there? I've been waiting for this concert for weeks. :'(

The point is maybe we should approach this in a different way.  Instead of forming rigid teams and tiers is there a way we can do this that fits more in line with our groups personality?

I was thinking of a couple different things and maybe someone has an idea.  One is to seperate us into skill tiers and then each match we would use a set number of each tier and pick those people at random so everyone would have a chance to play every match.  The skill tiers would have to be constantly re-assessed though.

The other idea is based around our pick-ups.  What if we had sort of a group of captains like 2-4 and these people could pick from a pool of people that were interested.  Then we could play some friendly inter-brbu matches and the top captain would be the one who would pick the team for the match with whoever.  Then we'd reset and 2-4 new people could be captains.

I like the second idea better, because it fits with us more and is less complicated.  Plus it won't create any elitism.  If anyone can think of something better though that would be cool.
