... we easily could have made it if 2 or 3 more stronger player would have joined the team.
Maybe, and yes, it would be very nice if more strong players would join, but I think this time the opponents were really strong in average.
If I remember correctly I had a tournament performance of over 2500 which is not always repeatable.
So I don't say it wouldn't be possible but I fear our limits (concerning the best reachable league) are slowly approaching. :)
Sure, if e.g. @eniolw, @vjap55, @samostically and @maestroask continue to consistently NOT join, then we might get stuck :(
