Bort advertised before he did this last shuffle that he was going to take a small number of players on the team and ignore up to that many players over the STARTING HARD CAP for the league. As far as I know, Bort never told anybody how many players he was going to ignore per team.
We had almost nobody over Level 28 at shuffle time, and something like 8 or 9 over Level 24.
As I said previously (here or elsewhere), I ASKED for a Level 24 capped league. I didn't want to have to face teams of people who specifically built to push up against the level 28 cap.
As it turns out, there really aren't any of those teams in this conference.
With VERY few exceptions, the players on the Sidhe today started on the Sidhe at Level 1 two seasons ago.
The Sidhe were NOT built or designed to push the level cap. Once I knew where we landed, my recruiting efforts to fill the few holes we had were focused on pulling in players to help cover the capability gap caused by us being a far more Level 24 cap team than 28.
Looks like I got lucky on how that worked out.
