I will be running for the NT Coach position here in the USA.

My campaign will center on three key platforms:

#1 My experience in managing my club team at the highest level of the USA league, including the economic and personnel development of the team, is pretty much nearly unrivaled in the USA. I have been able to defeat teams with better personnel by the use of extensive scouting and tactical deployment, which will be very important at the NT level where the top teams will have similar strength in the personnel department.

#2 To have the strongest team possible, training is key. To this end, as NT Coach, I would be disseminating information and advice about optimal training strategies to anyone in the USA that wished to receive such information. Any team in the USA can develop NT level players, and having the best training strategy will not only make the USA NT very powerful but will also improve the quality of play in the USA league as a whole. The stronger we are as a league, the more fun and challenging the game is, and the better we will be represented on the world stage.

#3 Teamwork. As NT Coach, I would certainly be inviting any ideas, suggestions, and advice from the USA community. This is our team, and although the final decision rests with me, I cannot be so arrogant to believe that one mind is better than a thousand minds pulling in the same direction. The old saying "united we stand, divided we fall" has never been more appropriate.

I really do believe I am the best candidate for the position as NT Coach, and I hope that you feel the same way.

Please ask any questions you'd like to see answered in the Debate thread, as I look forward to hearing your thoughts and concerns!

Rankings

The winning team gets a bigger share of the ranking points for a game, but it doesn't get all of them. Precisely how many points are received depends upon the relative strength of the two teams. If the teams are evenly matched, then the winning team will receive 75% of the points, and the losing team the other 25%. An underdog who scores an upset will get nearly 100%, but a strongly favored team that takes home a predictable victory will receive only a bare majority..
