np, could you explain scoring in Killer? Is it all about the top 3 (New) or about Survivors (Old)

so i can add myself as Captain now?

Found this on website:

1.1 Clan size

Clans must have a minimum of 10 players (all teams must have at least 2 valid substitutes, however 8 players will be accepted with League Runners permission), with one being identified as clan Captain and another as Vice Captain. Each clan may have a maximum of 16 players.

Not sure where the one captain thing has come from? I have never capped the number of captains a clan can have.
very first rule on FBL site.

I've always interpreted it as at least one captain and at least one vice, there are several clans with multiple C's and VC's.

The way Killer is scored now is the way it was before as mattywellie gave me the scoring, it's on the website..

4.2 Killer

1 game of Killer per match made up of 3 players from each clan, this can include players who have already played in another game type.

Scoring will be based on the finishing 3 members and the overall winner like follows...

If you win and all 3 clan members are in the finishing 3 the score will be 6 - 0
If you win with 2 clan members in the finishing 3 the score will be 5 - 1
If you win with 1 members in the finishing 3 the score will be 4 - 2

that doesn't explain it, does it mean Top 3 or Survivors?

Explains it more than enough, read the bottom part again... i do find this a bit hilarious though that the first rule on the site has never been changed in many seasons and only now people are asking questions about it...

I've had a long day at work, if you cannot get it from that then I ain't explaining it any further. It is pretty simple to understand.

well yeah, because it's come up now. It says one captain and one vice (which I've followed so far). Now dgen can't sign a player so I'm questioning it.

Top 3 im guessing, when was this changed as it was about survivors before and i didn't see a post about it.

so im guessing:

A
C
A

Score is 5-1 (Score would be 4-2 on Old system)

that correct?

and Jay, good thing we brought it up then as only reason we brought it up was because we was told only captains can sign players.

^Good point in the example- that does change the tactics when it's 2v1, because you can sacrifice one player and still get the 5-1.

Good thing you brought it up? It mentions that in the rules on the site! and i thought Punkpoet needed glasses Read section(s) 1.7 and 1.9, only mentions the captain.

Basically the adding and removing of players from and to the team is the only thing that separates a captain and a vice.

The FCL is the same but i don't mind vices doing it as it can always be changed. Jema is following the rules that where set up for FBL many seasons ago so she technically not doing wrong either.

This is the last time I am posting because I am getting fed up and I have only been home from work for an hour having been up from 6AM.

There is no "old system" I am using the system that was used in the seasons before I removed killer. I know this as mattywellie sent me all the rules and scoring system which was previously used.

i don't need glasses when i rarely read the website

basically i was questioning it as when i heard and i read about only 1 captain i had to ask but since were allowed more than one captain i don't think it matters much.

The following scores 5-1:
Player from team A
Player from team A
Player from team B

and the following also scores 5-1:
Player from team A
Player from team B

Up until now i have always done it by Survivors in my results but no post from a League Runner about scores being incorrect so i took no notice until Unbeatables stated what was on website which got me confused.

nevermind, i know the scoring now so i won't be making more mistakes

i think the system for killer should be this way

1st 3pts
2nd 2pts
3rd 1pt

this because players cant get the same points when someone finished higher than someone else

In the danger of coming across thick as im pretty sure I've just missed something, On the fbl site under scores how come hasn't the killer scores been added to the overlall score in the games? Originally thought it was an error in our game but checked a couple and it hasnt been added so what am I missing? lol


Jema just got back in from work and may look at it later, could be a formula problem on that section i think.


Fair enough as it seems like its on every game

Player from team A

and the following also scores 5-1:

Player from team B
Player from team A

I'm sure that 2nd example used to be 4-2

1st, 2nd and 3rd = 6-0

1st and 2nd with opponent 3rd = 5-1

1st with opponents 2nd and 3rd = 4-2

1st and 3rd with opponents 2nd = 4-2

Was always based on how many players from one clan were still in once the opponents were killed, so 3 left was 6-0, 2 left was 5-1 and 1 left was 4-2.

^That's what I thought too and that's what we have on snooker. That's why I'm surprised that it's been changed (and it has ). It changes the game when you're at the 2v1 stage as I mentioned before. But I don't mind either way...
