I would disagree with this.  Think of a statistical curve with % chance of winning a round versus skill ability.  There are always going to be some pilots every year that sneak into TOC because they were, with lack of better word, lucky.  For lightning to strike twice though, that's at least twice as statistically unlikely and will weed out a couple pilots who probably don't have any business being in TOC in the first place if skill is any indication on who should be flying there.

Well if we are going to run with this pattern of thought. How about we only allow people who win a KoTH to fly in ToC? Because lets face it, if a player can't win a KoTH event at least once, what chance does said player have of winning the ToC?

Infact, Skuzzy, can you please put the above option up on the poll because it's got my vote.

whels and Skuzzy do present some good ideas which AKDogg and I may cogitate about.
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

Maybe a wabbit round before the TOC where the last 4 or 5, left standing, get to move on to the TOC?  Just a thought.
I like it. its kinda like a wildcard round in the playoffs. The winner and wabbits of this round should move on to the TOC.

I appreciate Skuzzy offering his view, I know he always liked coming to the KOTH events when he was able to sneak away (knowing he really did not have the time to participate :-/ )

I find Skuzzy's suggestion and the way sunsfan quoted and offered his view of it to be a very interesting and valid Idea to look at  :aok


edit: People, this is a POLL thread and you only need to Vote ( & lobby ) for your particular Choice offered......please let's all not let this thread get out of hand or turn into a flame war.......... the KOTH CM's needs your opinion on the following Topic, Skuzzy posted:

As it stands now there is not much difference between a TOC invitation for a winner opposed to a wabbit. We were thinking of making the wabbit invitations slightly harder to earn and want KOTHers opinions on the subject.
Please select a choice from the following poll:



leave any "negative thought" posts for another time, please I ask.......   :salute

Because lets face it, if a player can't win a KoTH event at least once, what chance does said player have of winning the ToC?

hmmm...well...
2005 - won ToC getting in with 1 wabbit, 0 wins
2006 - 4 wabbits, didn't win
2007 - 1 win and 7 wabbits, didn't win

How does that square up with your line of thinking?

After this years turnout, if I was HTC, I would be more worried about getting KoTH winners to show up then worry about the small majority who got fluky and made it into ToC.

If a KOTH winner didn't show up for the TOC, it was because they had something going on in RL, plain and simple.  Just a down year attendance wise.  One down year has no relevance or bearing on the topic at hand imo.

Actually TC, I posted this for fuzeman.  Polls cannot be started in any of the public forums, but anyone can vote in them.

Yes, I like KOTH.  It is my favorite event.  I wish I had time to participate in it more often.

Yes Sir, I am aware of that....... I was just thanking the KoTH CM's ( HTC )for having the Poll, Sir........

I was thanking you, for your views & suggestions, because I know that you use to come along with another HTC employee and participate in KOTH with us.....

no worries......
