totally agree with ipotalot

I think if your registered for a clan you can only play for that clan unless your released by your captain.

Please stop bringing up the tampax league

i agree with jimmy! one big league, makes things simpler!!

Why sticky subject?

We need promotion and relegation to keep things interesting and the gulf in quality with some of the clans would mean the smaller sides folding.
The numbers weren't great this season for 2 divisions but they will be up to at least 7 teams per league next time which will be great.

one big league teams will loose interest

new teams with inexperienced players getting hammered every week ,,, nd i have heard the cliche playing against better players only makes u better well maybe, but getting hammered every week is a fact

thought we had this convo before now

correct we have, this thread is mainly for ideas and concerns about the league. if its popular it may be implemented, if not then it won't.

i agree...but i dont see why a new team cant go straight into div 1 ...because at time its a gimmie that some clans will easilt win the league

Why should a new clan go straight into the first division? Everybody has to earn that

Quiery....
why a clan can be run by a captain with no experience if they become captain mid season?

Surely this is leaving the option open for people deliberately leaving to let inexperienced players take the reigns?

Interesting point that one, nobody wants to see clans folding all the time especially if they are fulfilling their fixtures but they shouldn't be allowed to continue indefinitely without someone with experience as captain.
If it's a good bunch of people that have genuinely been dropped in it then i'm sure everyone would help them find someone.

There are members in the clan that have a seasons experience, I could see that maybe a "quick fix" might have been needed at the time however surely know this is just flaunting the rules?

Lee's pretty much answered your question there. Any captain is better than no captain when the previous captain ditches their clan mid-season.

As we've had issues on this subject before though, with questions on wether captains are eligable or not. All I can see happening here that clans will look for "caretaker" captains until the season starts, then they leave when the fixtures have started allowing the before uneligable captain to take over.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to see this loop hole that has been exposed by a particular clan this season!

EDIT: Lee also pointed out this shouldn't be allowed for an indefinate time period, at the moment the clan have made no attempts to find an eligable captain.

If you're talking about the one i'm thinking of that was settled with the ruling that previous accounts would be accepted towards eligibility or is it a different situation?

I'm talking about a clan that in the current season has, as far as I know, a player who has never completed a clan season captaining it.

There's 2 in the 2nd division but I don't think either were done intentionally as both clans just got dropped in it and they are still fulfilling fixtures.
Maybe one of them should have been pulled up at the time because it was handed on by the captain to someone with no experience when there was a clan full of people who had the experience but there's only a couple of fixtures left in the second and nobody wants to see clans fold.

couple ideas.

as cup has been pretty much cramped into these last 4 weeks cup may finish later than league.

what i propose is that we have cup semis for 1 week on its own then have final div 1 fixtures with cup final.

example...

fixture set - now
Cup Semi (1 week)
Cup Final/Div 1 Final Fixture (2 weeks)

using this example will cram defaults unless we do cup a day later

or have it like it is now, however instead of 1 week cup semi and final into final fixture end the season with a 2 week cup final (after div 1 fixtures is complete)

so for example:

fixture set (where we are now)
Cup Semi (1 week)
Final Fixtures (2 weeks)
Cup Final (2 weeks)

gives us time to do defaults also.

or can keep it as it is which is.

Div 2 Final Fixtures/ Cup Quarter/Semi (2 weeks)
Cup Final/Div 1 Fixtures (2 weeks)

bottom example seems a bit cramped

this is just an idea so if people dont agree it wont happen, interested to see what kevlar thinks also.

Any news on when the tables are getting updated james? I know you're snowed under and have to do it manually too so not hassling (before everyone jumps down my gullet) just asking

i think kev is updating on his new site

ooooo new site?
