Ok,
Have been converted. I agree.
Now how about this to level off the playing field.
Limit the number of "Members" that each club can use as a group? Then
you dont get the "Super Groups"
So in this case mileage does not matter.
Just limit the number to a number that all seem correct.
If you have more members than you can have, then a second group is
formed, and a third, fourth etc. then we even have some freindly
localized rivalry to add into the mix. It would be almost like a sports
team. where each team tries to assemble the best team possible.
Thoughts?
