New thread

i am loving the idea of it but seb with 7 vs 7 and 9 vs 9 in 7 days is quite hectic but plus you would need a very reliable team (not all clan have been reliable) but its also the way the runners want to make things more tense as 5 games is snappy any one can win but might be close.

some people may disagree but thats the whole point of this thread

lol I completely agree with you. I prefer 5v5, but it seems the majority want it raised...

well in my opinion you would need to test to see how it works as it might not work and might put the league in jeopardy . When you don't thing thing through it can go all wrong so if you do add this i say you get a little mini cup under way to check if its ok or not

In 7 days, im going to have to go back through pages because im sure a fortnight was put in place for the cup games. Unless i read it wrong but im sure me and James discussed this at some point!

Then we would have the Mickey Mouse and Minnie Cup lol

Sorry couldn't resist lol

I noticed Alan haha

If the numbers got raised too say 8 v 8 i think the fortnight deadline would be fine, there is alot of positive feedback about this now, but i think in the long run people may start to hate it. As people on here tend to change there mind alot.

Seb-

Didn't like agreeing to differ on that one then?
You're missing the point that it's a lot easier to get a good result against the 6th, 7th and 8th best players in a clan than the best teams' top 5.
A 10-5 upset isn't likely to have any effect in a 5 v 5 either it's going to get reversed with interest in one of the other games if there is a big difference in the sides.

You get 1 tie in the league per division per season from what I can see in tables that's 1/16 games playing 8 v 8.
11 team tourney is only 10 games so a tie would be extremely rare and if it happens why not add a bit more excitement with some sort of play off?

Different suggestion for that eventuality if it's all square at the end of the last game then the 2 players in the last game play a further one frame of each type....real penalty shootout!

2 weeks with 8 players also works a lot better for getting games done than 1 week for 5 players.

I prefer 5vs5, don't think it needs changing.
I feel alot of things are getting changed that don't need to be.

its 14 days for cup now.

i will ask the league runners to vote on 5 v 5 or higher, personally i still prefer 5 v 5 but if they (dex, jay, techno) want higher ill have to do it.

the time the "shootout wont work is in Semi Finals as there is no cup break then.

schedule seems fine xmas break should be enforced as hard to get games played over xmas

ill do draw later for the clans and cup

lol no, because it doesn't make sense. To take a more extreme example: is it easier to beat 8 excellent players, or is it easier to win a 1v1 fixture?

Will update the above on the site when i get the time.

amended it slightly, dont think we need an xmas break as it will run through xmas anyway.

instead only put 1 fixture in xmas slot as anyone should be able to play 1 fixture in that time (Underdogs would be only team not to play through xmas).

Yeah i agree,

sort of ruins the chance of an upset in the cup if its more than 5 vs 5 nothing wrong with how it is now
