Just done the 3x3 trial and seems to work really well, will be very interesting as people get more used to it and tactics come more and more in play.

just played in LL v SS killer trial 3x3, and was awesome fun,ended up being SS takin their shots and then LL taking our shots.1 of the team was the fall guy(defender),1 the setter-upper and 1 the safety player.was defo a concept i enjoyed and i think i can vouch for every1 else in saying that too.

please put this in FBL, i think it will be a real break from the norm for the ones that want to be part of it

LL 4-11 SS

Good match, enjoyable. 20 seconds is perfect for it. If its one match then scoring should match 2 games of the other types so each format is worth 12 points.

With the success of 3 vs 3 (and seemingly 2 vs 2), would it be possible to trial 4 vs 4? might help the scoring out

i personally i think 4x4 wud be pushing it a bit, i might be wrong, but i hardly ever see 4 peeps from the clan im in at any 1 time,and plus if it does happen,maybe not all of them want to be a part of it..........my opinion only tho

scoring wise i think i agree wit lee n dgen

all teammates remaining - 6-0
2 remaining 5-1
1 remaining 4-2
no contest 3-3 (unless effort can be provided which suggests otherwise)

It was great fun and worked well.

4v4 would take way too long. People set each other up with black all the time, so this takes longer than normal killer games. 3v3 is good.

If you're planning on having one game of killer per fixture (which I would recommend)- keep the scoring as in the current trials.
If you play two killer games (will it be the same players?), then 6 points per fixture.

I think everyone enjoyed it very much and it produces good banter and competitive games. Exception: Shooters vs Snooker Squad, because everyone will have everyone else on ignore lol.

Only thing that needs to be worked out is defaults when people don't show up or games don't get arranged...

Think 2 killer games would fit in very nicely on the match lists, 6 points for each...only limit being the players can only play in one of the killer matches.
It's such a popular game and with the team aspect I think games would get done.
Problem might be teams waiting for their best players to come on together to play, the 2 games would cut a lot of that out

Unless you make it a seperate league, gonna be hard to fit it into the current system without making it worth more/less than other types. (unless there are 2 games, then you need to have 6 players willing to play from each who will be online at the same time which may be a problem)

And i'm sure not every team will want to have it, could have 1 division of all the teams who want to play, play each other once?

Easy to fit in with the current scoring system
6 man
1st place-3 pts
2nd place-2 pts
3rd place-1 pt

All scores are possible (unlike in straight) 3-3, 4-2, 5-1, 6-0

I can see one game getting arranged fairly easily. Several have been played already.
But two? That looks awfully tough to be honest, especially if the same players can't be used.

Playing only 1 killer game and making it worth the current amount (or you could do 4,3,2,1,0,0) is the option to avoid defaults in my eyes.

That would mean 2 games, I said its hard to fit into the current system without having 2 games

I think that set up would work for 2 vs 2, but for 3 vs 3 a month down the line might be hard to get 2 games done on top of everything else to play.

A way to possibly sort killer defaults.
If a killer game isn't played by the last day, the automatic game time will be deadline night, 8 pm (or 9 or whatever).
At that time, whoever is online can play.
As long as there are at least 2 vs 1 online, the game can go ahead.
If fewer are online, it goes to defaults according to the following table:

If it's 3 vs 0, the default is 6-0.
If it's 2 vs 0, the default is 4-0.
If it's 1 vs 0, the default is 2-0.
If it's 1 vs 1, the default is 2-2.
If it's 0 vs 0, the default is 0-0.

Again, this would not work if there are 2 killer matches per fixture.

Way bet would be to play shooters as it's basically Craig's idea?

I see all TPA's results are blacked out on the league site. If a team has played over half the season then why wipe out their results for the whole season?
They played everybody once so those first results should count.
