Many of us are really fed up with jumping in Team Cup. Moreover, this tournament's frequency has declined in comparsion to other cups, which have maintained their attractivness. My statement is obvious; it is a loss of rating for me and many other players. Maybe my words are a little bit contentious, anyhow I say what I think.
My concept for increasing playbility of this tournament is registration constant teams before each season. You know what I am talking about, don't you? It is like a reality. You gather three people (except you) and you report that your team is able to play in the Cup. I think it is possible to create the separate tournament for that like we have Online WC. From fall till spring. For example it would be organised on 3rd Tuesaday of each month. Statistics would be counted on http://www.dsjtournaments.com
Created teams ought to have:
-original name
-the same color of jumping suits
-the emblem/flag
-the separate chat during the tournament
-average rating (a sum of every member's rating divided by four)
This idea has many cons beacause it would be diversity for online competitors. If it would be introduced, the frequency in TC raised a lot.
Dear players, do you enjoy this idea or are you a follower of the old system? I run the poll above this post.
Jussi, what is your statement, please say if you are able to do that

Re: New Team Cup formula.
I voted 'No' (sorry ). I think the current team cup system is simple and elegant.
Could you state the exact problem(s) more clearly, is it just that you tend to lose more rating than elsewhere, or also that you don't like teams changing for other reasons, or something else yet?
I think the rating "problem" could be most easily "fixed" by making team cup unrated (but I don't think it is necessary, since I don't really see it as a problem).
While I agree that a fixed-team competition would be interesting, I think your suggestion just adds more problems:
By the way, I actually gained around +50 rating in TC last thursday (and then I lost it on saturday in the normal WOT) .

While I agree that a fixed-team competition would be interesting, I think your suggestion just adds more problems:
- What if I can't find anyone to join my team?
- What if my team mates don't show up?
- The way you describe it (with a separate registration process), it even seems to require manual configuration by Jussi, and it's inconvenient to join mid-season.
