I'd prefer not to institutionalize the term "dotball"


Well something along those lines though. Reading all of these proposed names just makes me cringe.

Can we have only World League members or maybe Pro Leagues too vote for this? I doubt anyone would vote for Bort/DD if they had to be in one of those conferences...

I like Lunar/Solar too, jg. I just think it's a tad bit benign (hurricane/typhoon = both violent... my dots wanna be VIOLENT).

ADC/NDC would be my vote without question though.

Edit: ABC/NBC? Bortball. Although I guess the broadcasting networks might not like it.

Typhoon/Hurricane


China's death toll from Typhoon Saomai, the strongest to hit in five decades, jumped to 436 after more than 100 new deaths were confirmed in the country's east, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

The final death toll of Hurricane Katrina was 1,836 people, which made it the third deadliest hurricane in US history.

wtf we trying to accomplish with this choice??

So any time anyone uses a label given for a natural phenomenon that can be deadly, it's supposed to be taboo to use elsewhere?

The sun gives people skin cancer... does that make Solar terrible?
Zeus forced a woman to conceive Hercules... does that make that choice terrible (he also killed his father if memory serves)?
Landslides kill people in Japan every year... is that it for Sky/Earth?
Pagan religions had crazy rituals for the equinox/solstice... do those conferences reflect religion?
Empires were the cause of a divided China. I bet more than 2,000 people died in those wars. What about them?

So our choices are Apex/Zenith and Bort/DD then, by itsme4's logic.

Edit: There will be almost 12,000 deaths related to skin cancer in '09. Let's just say 20% of those are caused by sun exposure. Not to mention heat stroke, dehydration, and the such.

Cringing here also. Thus I vote for keeping Alpha + Zeta.

Agree completely. Why are we stuck with these terrible nature/mythology names?
