Thanks for bringing up some points for me to address, Ebonkosh.
As I said before, it was a different night for us. We relaxed some of our policies while we enforced new ones. As a new player, I can see where you might be confused here but I was very busy that night.
However, the main reason we stopped the 12s was because we wanted to play, and at that time the matchmaker refused to find us a match. (3am CST)

However, if the matches were all 12-0 or 12-1 then there are some other issues that need to be fixed for that team. IMO teams with voice comms should do better.
Over half our men were either new players or new to our TS. These were just warmup games meant to generate interest in pulling a more focused strategy together that can trickle down through the ranks to make each Gatekeeper ready for action and assignment in any position.
I think the win ratio there is a direct result of this factor, assuming you take our prior experience into account.
1st Company's Sang-Wei have informed me that I must enforce a new pick order for the competitive team until we have at least 16 players in TS. Then we will be dropping all together for training in a private lobby.
Expect this to be the norm on Fridays and Saturdays - especially Saturday night, which is Noob Night - but you guys knew that right?
I mean, we advertise that. And it was Saturday night.
So... yeah 12-0 match after match, but to be fair we got more 12 drops on Saturday than ever before. I'm proud of our guys.

I was not aware of these restrictions. I may have missed some post? I am new remember.
We have not posted this information, but enacted the new composition last weekend to much better effect, winning 50% of the matches dropped with 1st Company pilots (not recruits as on Saturday).
A guideline chart will be posted on the Facebook sometime this week to help with that, but it probably will not be posted as general information for all to see.

Now I have to acquire the flavor of the month mechs and build them out to get on the 12 mans will take a bit of time but that's life.
We hardly run flavor of the month 'mechs.
That's all I have to say about that.
