I think this will make it a very interesting season! I am looking forward to it.

Coaching is not necessarily a bad thing, but I do agree I would rather see teams with the best skills winning the tournies.

Last time I played at an x-ball field, the sideline coaching was quite annoying. It's ruined a lot of opportunities to bunker people, and sometimes make "crazy" movies.

looks good!

Finally the pro teams will have to fight for their spot in the pro division.
But it's better to have it season to season and not event to event.(Like Millennium)

Well it will be both season to season and event to event. The event to event upper and lower pro divisions will mean even the teams that know they won't make Sunday will still need to play hard, while the end of the season relegation to D1 means that the teams at the bottom of the lower pro section can't just coast once they realize their season is over because they may end up relegated.

Hmm, sound good enough.

I find it interesting with everybody that brings up sideline coaching.. That would make everything real different.

PSP looking good.
Wish they didn't have coaching

never understood the logic behind this.
there already isn't dorito side coaching. why take away snake side coaching and pretty much make the fans sit there in silence and watch an otherwise exciting game.
PSP is just as much of a spectator sport as any other. it lets parents/friends/family get out there and be a part of the game and help them get into it.

when my parents took me to my first tournament years and years ago, they were pretty much sitting on the sidelines silently waiting for games to finish, so i could then explain to them what happened. If there was coaching back then, i could have said "hey mom, when you see someone get into this bunker, yell and let everyone know!" or "Hey dad, when you see someone on the other team walk off, let us know" and BOOM, instantly theyre a part of the game and having fun instead of just sitting there wondering when they can leave.

while i didn't think dorito side coaching should have gone away, taking away snake side coaching would completely ruin the fun for many spectators that get into the game.

most people who play snake regularly will tell you, getting coached doesn't just make it easy street in the snake. Being able to take directions at the drop of a hat while still utilizing your own, personal field awareness takes a massive amount of skill. Alternatively, having a coach who knows whats going on and can guide you effectively is a huge asset for a team.

I agree I think CEP will drop down way before 187, at least 187 is constantly improving.

i thought they eliminated coaching in 2012 season for the pros only?

they took it away from pit side only, opposite pit you can still have a coach.
