Be able to join TMs and chose which side you're on!

becuase you can in VC you should be able to in TMs, right?

But ya see with vc you can remove players and also it's a majority vote

@cheeky_chicky Good point. (I hope only very few people would do that, but it would be heart to check and reason if a certain game has been lost by an accidental blunder or by purpose ...)

I know of several instances where members have left one team to play for another and then rejoined immediately. As an admin, I feel obliged to play for my team and have done so myself. I know of two others in my team who have done it and I don't have a problem with it.

I haven't seen it happen but it sure is possible to leave, join the match for the other team and then make a, "Silly", blunder.

agreeing with potato

I do this also

@Karnakatz The problem is that you will appear as "new" member in the other club's list then (which may be a pity sometimes ...)

That is a decent argument. (I already agreed) Will try to convince others. 

I agree but it's of no real concern to the person leaving and rejoining. I know the couple who, in our club, have done it. I'm sure that the admin's of the club I left twice remember me and I'm just too scared to rejoin.

If you have problems, John, wheel them in here and let us have a shot!!

It's good morning to me and I've changed my mind.

If a player has the choice,he may be pressured by, or feel obliged to, choose a team. This may be an easy choice for many but for others, less so.

Taking the choice out of their hands saves them having to choose.

He still has the opportunity of leaving one temporarily and rejoining but he is no longer under pressure to select a side and risk losing some esteem within the, "Spurned", club. 

My original thought was, "Why not?", and now I have my answer.

In a recent match, a very high rater who supports our club very well, would have been almost, "Forced", to choose between our team and an almost, "National", team. I'm inclined to think that he was relieved at the decision being taken out of his hands.

Retaining the status quo still allows people to select a team should they so wish but it's not, in my experience, used often. The very strong case for it is that, as I've said, players won't feel pressured to make a choice.

Not, "Should", mate but, "Could".

We've covered that, mate. Leave the other club, join the match and then rejoin. If there's no real, "Loyalty", involved, then it's not hard. I left a good club twice to play for my club and didn't ask to rejoin a third time. (I thought that I may have worn out my welcome )

I play too many matches most of time so glad not to havechoice when 2 of my clubs play. 

The current system doesn't stop that, Cheeky. As we've said, just drop out of the team that you want to win and they'll welcome you with open arms.

Having thought further, I think that the current restriction should actually be tightened so that players can't join a match for the opposing side, once the match is open. Yes. I've done a complete 180 and then gone a little further. It's amazing what comes to mind when one thinks through all the angles.

I personally, as an admin, would feel that as it is now, a player quitting the club and playing against my club and then asking to rejoin would certainly not Thrill Me. I'm not so sure about letting that player back in perhaps.

And also in the case that you stated earlier Theo, if it was open to choose, a player still would not have to make a choice between the two clubs. They could choose to sit it out and that would be the same correct?

At the same time, a new restriction of when the matches are made, all the players who are on both teams are automatically excluded from playing in that particular match. Then there's no question either of loyalty.

Yes many possibilities, not sure which one is best. I don't really like excluding anyone from playing in matches but when it comes to clubs playing clubs, it does start getting a little tricky.

I think we agree, Scotty. I think that if the decision was taken out of a players hands, a, "Genuine", person would feel much happier - more at ease. It would spike the guns of those who wish to jump from one team to the other and while I don't have a problem with their doing that, I don't expect that they'd slash their wrists over it.
