How many of you really plan on trying to make it on one of the squads?

[RubenDouglas]

50,000 gamers vieing for approx. 80 slots.. that makes sense.

i hope the 49,920 others can view the games or be involved in the process a bit. it almost seems like a backroom "gentlemans hierarchy club" where the common folk will just move on with life and not even care. they really need to bring the fun and possibly allow players to get waived in favor of others. give people incentive

The one thing that troubles me with this is, what type of players are going to be chosen?

Will the only users chosen be the so called "cheesers" and anyone else who just does anything it takes to win?

If they are the ones that are always winning, and those are going to be the ones chosen, then that really doesn't give any of us "sim heads" a fair shot at this contest.
