Re: Legends League or w/e: Even if it doesn't get officially sanctioned by the WBO (though perhaps once the committee have worked out Zero-G we may have a better framework in process for running more formats, who knows?), we could at least work out and discuss the rules and parts legalities, perhaps in a thread of it's own at some point. I'd enjoy discussing it.
I mean, personally, I'd think the easiest way to sort out the majority of the legality stuff would be a weight limit, though I'm not sure how much of an advantage BD145 gives things.
Though, the ban list you've given basically runs much closer to the "second format" we were discussing a while back, that never quite went anywhere, so if you haven't, you may want to find that thread (I think yamislayer made it) and read that.
If hasbro continue making wheels so light, the "nothing that imbalances a pre-Maximum metagame" format may allow those to be used, which would be nice.
In terms of banning the left spin stuff, I would suggest leaving them in, as attack doesn't do as well in tournament situations and people are often too afraid to use it. If you ban BD145, E230 and 230 (as they had a massive effect on the game), then the game may become attack-vulnerable, but we never got to see the effect LTDC's would've had on the game, and they might allow defense to survive. I personally like metagames where CS is not a safe choice for a "defense" bey, and is relegated to balance types, and people have to use tips with less stamina for defensively sound combos.
If you were to have a meta devoted to legend-weight stuff, then Lightning would almost certainly need to be banned, if it managed to fit through the weight limit (which gravity wouldn't), and meteo, I'd personally wait and see how it did.
And yeah, I was surprised to see you dismiss Dark there, its defense was always quite similar to grand when I used them.
