Thanks

Just a little comment on the default decisions...

We only received default information from Professionals & Snooker Squad, so of course all the other games were defaulted at 0 - 0.

If anyone does have any queries, feel free to message me and I'l explain them to you.

Did you send info in lol?

We didn't have any defaults mate

Oh right, I was confused because you were the one saying it....
Did Top Guns send any info in?

I don't know, I can't answer that. Not my team.

Indeed

Well you could, the answer is just above

they sent no info in

No - They didn't.

Well more fool them then lol

Not quite sure what your point was there lol, but anyway....

I havent removed him so how come is he out of my clan and in eagles?
Obviously unless I am mistaken this is against the rules.
Dont make up rules and don't follow them.

1.4 Player transfers
Prior to the season commencing clan rosters for the season must be submitted to the League Runners to be registered. They will then be maintained on the Team Lists page of this website.

At the point that the Fixture Set 1 games are released the clan rosters are locked. No player may then transfer to another clan with the exception of during the Mid-Season Transfer Window which opens at the end of Fixture Set 3 and closes before the start of Fixture Set 4.

Once a player has played for a clan in an FCL cup fixture, they are cup-tied and ineligible to play for any other clan in the same competition.

Attempts to get around the transfer rule will not be tolerated. Creating a new username will not mean you are entitled to join another clan, you will be subject to the same rules. Should you create a username and attempt to conceal your identity in order to bypass this rule, you may be banned from the League for one season.


Cut the end as it was too long.

Excuse me, he were signed before the transfer window closed. Also he weren't tied to any team so technically a free agent which makes him exempt from the transfer window any how.

Transfer window is solely for the players attached to a clan moving from 1 to another, with lmc_shark having no ties this is not applicable.

As free agents can be signed any time during the season as long as the player limit is not exceeded.

So I would appreciate you to register lmc_shark to Phoenix Storm, thank you.

Yep we have both commented on the Team Changes thread

"However conversely where one side has made considerably more effort to get a game played than the other then it is likely that team will earn the maximum possible" (Extract from FCL Rule 8.9.1)

Generally the default system is fair , i think in some cases its not . when a team states they have no subs and inactive players the opposing team then gets penalized with a low default score .

Everybody knows what is required to get the maximum default score they possibly can. And everybody has the same opportunity to achieve that.

Regarding no subs and inactive players, it also depends at what point that situation arises during the two weeks and what happened before that point was reached.

If any team is penalized points in any way then there will have been a reason for it.

I can't judge if its fair or not as i cannot see the information but i see two problems.

a) on snooker we start from around 3-3 and raise or deduct points depending on messages, activity, game circumstances etc.

on pool starts at 0-0 which does same as above but pool seems to be tougher at their defaults

b) FCL uses 15 frames which is quite a lot of frames to predict and therefore may struggle to come to the correct score. not saying that is the case but lower the frames the easier it is to predict.

If we lowered it to 9 frames i think defaults would be easier to predict and fewer complaints.

So if a team needed 3 points they could risk not playing the game and just manufacture enough activity and messages to not suffer a deduction?

My own preference would be to remove the impact of default scores from beyond the direct fixture involved. That way nobody, neither the teams involved nor any of the other teams in the league, would be unduly affected by any default score.
