How would those criteria be assessed?
Well longevity is quite simple. You would set a bar of how long a regiment has been around for before they sign up (I think somewhere between 4-6 months is fair enough). Stability is slightly more subjective but I'm sure the organisers could come to a consensus on the stability of a regiment by seeing what sort of NCO/CO staff are in the regiment (I.e. are they people who have a history in the game of either being part of or carrying out splits in previous regiments, or when assessing the reg leader, seeing whether they have a history of disbanding or creating multiple regiments. Finally in terms of the nature of the regiment, once again it is mostly subjective but the organisers should again collectively assess how each of them feels about the regiment that is being assessed, relevant information like whether theyve ever seen the regiment being annoying trolls, or for example if the regiment signed up to one of the organisers other events and then decided not o show up once or twice. Again other than the longevity part everything else is mostly subjective but the organisers are competent and for the most part logical so I don't see why they could apply a basic criteria on leagues like this. I mean most of it is just common sense.
I would say that the longer a regiment has been around the more likely it is to disband, which is true at least in the state of NW today. The rest is just purely personal and based on the organisers opinion of the regiment in question and I think with the amount that the community has shrunk, we shouldn't be looking to exclude regiments but instead give them a chance and encourage more involvement because the whole community is becoming the same old tired faces at the moment. It's not even pretty faces either, it's people like Pride, Tardet, Bob, Nock, Bashy, Kore, Obelix/Zagi, Dust, Movement, USE4life, ExoticFail, Odysseus, you, Chriseh, DarkTemplar whom at most have mediocre faces. We should seek to get more attractive and possibly even funny members of the community to replace these charlatans and to aid in this quest we should relax the entry requirements for tournaments such as these.
Thank you for reading.
