But do you post, send messages, speak to your captains (or players), play, have events, ask for subs from the opposition, ask for swaps? All of that matters. Lets have a bit of common sense, its not difficult really.

Almost every dispute arises where a rule has not been followed and applied. If the rule turns out to be one that can be improved then alter it between seasons.

Wont be tho in some cases, it could be the opposing clans fault that you lose points.

And that would 100% happen btw and with different clans to the 2 named! Nice idea Jem but it just wouldn't work.

But defaults as they stand are not working... they cause more arguments than scrapping them would.

If clans want to play tactically then thats their call, its no different to a football team keeping posession when they are 1-0 up with 10 minutes left and no different to professional fouls in 8US.... its part of competetive play. You should be doing your best as a clan to gain as many points as possible to avoid this happening and who says 1 fixture will make any difference if clans do this?

When I saw this idea I had to check the callendar to make sure it wasn't April1st lol

Lol ab just trying to think of good ideas :)
and jem the league table???? lol

Why post the obvious bad ones lol

Another problem with the way they are done at the moment, which again goes against the guidelines that already exist, is that the match is scored as a direct consideration between the two players/teams involved rather than treating each player/team in isolation.

What means that currently is you have the situation where an 'inactive' player against a 'proactive' player might lose 0-15 or 1-14 whereas two 'inactive' players against each other will score 7-7 or 8-7 etc.

Done properly, as per the way they are written, defaults work - just obviously not as well as if the game was actually played.

i personally think its a great idea and would elimate many more arguments than it would cause + stop any "biased default panel members" arguments like we have had the last couple of days...

...Zac I am due to update the FCL tables soon, just been busy as I am with Jay at the moment and was waiting for defaults to be done... will be done very soon

It's like shooters being 1 point ahead against MVP in the cup final and the remaining fixture is doubted2 vs dvz.

Really going to be eager to play that one isn't he if there was no default?

Just for your entertainment llol

Well I definately had a good laugh lol

Not a laughing matter, been talking about it with Jay

Any cup game Mark, win the first match of the fixture and dont bother playing the rest, woooooooo into the next round lol

Come on now, admit it, your just winding us up lol

Lol yeah there right this won't work lol.
any ideas ab?

One thing that might help is have a rule where once a player is offline 3 days the captain must sub them out for a more active player, can always sub back in if they return.

maybe a 5 or 10 point deduction for those who don't play? each game that is unless you can prove you made effort in which case you would only score 0 points (if both made effort), if your only one to make effort then possibly award that clan 5 points?

rewards clans for playing and those who don't get punished

and are people really going to stick with clans if their captains tell them not to bother playing? what would then be the point in being in a clan?

if you think that is seriously an issue then i would prefer to see point reductions for clans obstructing play than clans getting points that they do not deserve via defaults - a player through defaults can get 15-0 in their favour, even though a 15-0 result is well out of their playing ability.

If you can prove no attempt was made from another clan then they will be deducted 5 points per unplayed match.

Then your back to the same arguments we have now.
