I suggest using the existing ID number system instead of inventing your own. > The Referee SHOULD announce such a creation as soon as possible. > Creating a Team Balancer is secured.

What does "high" mean here? > If a player becomes a member of a team, because e registered and > that team contained one or more Team Balancers, the Team > Balancer who is a member of that team with the highest ID ceases > to be a member of that team, a Team Balancer and a player at > all.

The Team Balancers are going to win every time. :) Overall, it seems it would be a lot easier to just award the ergs directly rather than creating new players and giving them ergs. —Commenter Tanner L.
