cree,just sit down and let the league build back up again. People run it in different ways. There's no point throwing negative comments...if you want to discuss something please feel free to say, we are open to all suggestions. Afterall discussion is what this thread is all about

yes i know all the comments ^^^^ are valid, but will this bickering ever stop? but matty, how would 20 or 30 teams be? if we just had 1 league which we play all game types? just saying so dont attack me!

and i wasnt making negative comments? just expressing mine?

If 20 or 30 teams where in the leagues then it would be sorted to suite those teams.

That's fine Cree and we welcome all suggestions pal. I just don't think there would be ever 20 or 30 teams but hey I could be Erin I har been before, once.

But on a serious note that would be a good idea wether it would ever happen I do not know

The issue i find with this mate is that it would require a series of league runners to decide on rules which suit all. You would also have to combine all types of game format, and in a way which means each game type gets played. Your either looking at a dramatic extension in game playing time, or a dramatic increase in defaults because not everyone can play all these at the same time. The way it is means each league has it's own set of league runners, which helps keep them seperate.

As for the FBL itself, we're going to do out best to restructure this league so that it is as efficient and successful as possible

ok, maybe not 20-30 but i think 10-12 is possible?

hey guys I think 3 on 3 will be difficult to do tbh, can it be 2 on 2?

Yeah it is possible but then your talking about a season lasting a good 4 - 5 months maybe more. Well this FBL is due to end in September. That is with divisions, so with one league your adding an extra 3 - 4 months on top of that which is far to long

If you have 10-12 clans the league are adjusted accordingly, just because there are 3 leagues, doesnt mean there is any obligation to play in them

Like Fighting Eagles, they only play in FBL, any of the players that want to play in FCL or FSL can find an alternative clan

has anyone done any matmatical figures, to see the ammount of users and the ammount that play in teams? just a thought? i would guess that its quite small?

It is around 180+ players in every league, except the Super League as that has a smaller clan size im sure

thats a positive i think jay? people are busy with things? maybe on holiday? less is more?

Most of the games that were tested wee actually 3 x 3 games I think it would be simple but again I will discuss it with the others

let me get that right lol i mean its better to have longer time scales to decide a winner, if that makes sense?

I like different leagues and formats tbh, you get something new each time.

in my league we have the same format (cup 1 frame of each type) but can't really do a second league as many of us play in leagues over here.

i mean i could play in 4 leagues quite easily since im free most of time but it drains you out after a while so this encourages captains to spread teammates about so you haven't got too many.

Not a positive as i was thinking of doing this for the FCL but it was discussed and found out that the majority like the shorter seasons.

no its the same 16 players.

in FCL last season's players championship we had nearly 190 players roughly with about 12 clans.

how many clans this time then i can do the math

Fair enough though I just feel it will be hard to get 2 lots of 3 players online and happy to play at the same time.
I forsee defaults tbh.

There is 176 players in the FCL

There is 192 players in the FBL

That is the numbers if all clans are full with 16 players.
