Yes, although on snooker the problem with the number of clans is fairly significant.

Considering there are only 5 frames per fixture, two clans is fine by me, but not the interchangeable version. Just separate teams.

I think that's the current favourite option anyway Seb


On a separate issue and general request.

Does anyone fancy taking part in a trial format game against a team of Uprising players? If so just please post here, drop me a message or PM in game. Don't need many volunteers - maybe half a dozen or so. Only requirement is you would need to be really active and available - and like to win at all costs.

If the clan team limit was reduced to 12 max then those teams with 16 players, the 4 released could all join up and we would prob have another 2 teams possibly.

I think Killer is fun and should be kept that way, not competitive. Sometimes less is more, the bonuses should only be for run outs and 7 ballings, not for Gb's only if you get say 3 in the season etc. 3 consecutive fouling to me ruins 9us so i dont see why it should be rewarded. Yes sometimes it takes a bit of skill and precision but sometimes a huge amount of luck is accommodated.

Two sides from teams not a bad idea would make the league a bit more spicier but being able to chop and change when it suits, a no go from me.

I think competitive team Killer is actually one of the best things there is personally.

All of the events bonuses will be earned through a mixture of luck or skill - that's just the way it is - same as there can be a mixture of luck and skill in winning every single rack. At the moment I am tempted to go with trialling all four as it increases the opportunities to take games further to the wire. Potentially you can always make up 6 points from the last four racks. And they aren't reliant on potting from the break necessarily either.

I half agree with the 12 max but it wont happen - certainly whilst games elsewhere are 8 a side.

I am sure there will be clans that don't enter Super League so that potentially frees up a number of players to fill out other clans that wanted to enter two teams.

Fair enough no harm in trialling it, Im not a massive fan of signing players only for specific Leagues, I prefer having the whole team accessible unless they have mentioned their unavailability (away on holiday, business) etc.

I still dont see point of killer tbh, killer if wanted be taken competiively should have its own League. Glad u agree with 12 limit but I agree will never happen in the others but there's no harm in you implementing it on Yours?

No point unilaterally limiting it to 12 as you then have 4 players, that are never going to go and start a new clan, frozen out from playing for their existing clan.

I'm not a fan of mixing clans either, however if it means that where clans want to enter two teams they are able to boost numbers by signing players not engaged elsewhere, because their own clan is not taking part, then it serves a mutually beneficial purpose.

Can whatevers going to happen , just happen, u can talk about formats and whatevetr all day, just come up with a fair and simple one, and ghet the thing running

Il add my name as a participant if needed to trial anything. I'm up to play anyone and all players as long as I know what format it is stick my name down if you need some trialists.

Thank you - as soon as I get my 5 I'll let you know - already have the Uprising team

I don't know what plans Untouchables have for Super League yet but ill join on the ROTW team Chris if you like.

This is only for a one off trial game for the format - in particular the event bonuses - so I have added you in.

Hopefully get a couple more shortly to kick this off.

I never read it right, trial is good

are we going to get this trial underway or not?

If ROTW can get another two players i would think so, if im not busy later i might ask a couple see if they want to play

I'll play!!

Theres one ^^^

I'll play as well

I do think if we are allowing 2 teams per clan they should be the interchangeable option as it would make for some interesting captaining per fixture set.

Team A = 5 players
Team B = 5 players

They cannot swap out of the fixture for that set.

Then 6 free subs you could use as required for either fixture if required.

Put me in if it gets this league going quicker..

Super League IV - Trial Match

Uprising v Rest of the World

angry_bacon v fuunky
erigert v clarebye
2andygorams v bluenose1872
cgibson92 v horse10000
derik_dalton v scott7a

Those are the starting 5 singles matches. Each match is 4 racks of 8US, 9US and 8UK. Bonus points for any Run Out, GB, 7 Balling or 3 Fouling achieved.

Usual Super League rules apply re subbing and swapping (ie completely unrestricted) therefore any Uprising player can come in for them and lethal_lures and mattywellie are available subs for the ROW team. Just play any opponents or sub in as required.

2 games of Killer (2 vs 2) also required from the players on either side. Killer scoring is 1st - 6 Pts, 2nd - 4 Pts, 3rd - 2 Pts and 4th - 1 Pt. No player can play in both Killer games.

Please remember the sole aim is to win the fixture - points scored in any fixture are not carried forward throughout the season. Please enjoy, but try to play as you would normally to win the match and provide any feedback - particularly re having bonuses for all of the 'achievements'.

Thanks
