All that Keith^ Cracking suggestions. Fully agree that the leagues are stale and that major revamps are needed.

Agree

Out of interest who is going to be running the league next season and who is going to be leaving the current panel of league runners?

I agree with the changes, but it'd be easy if people actually made collated full proposals instead of ideas - Then we could get an idea for what is wanted and not.

At the moment we have myself, _pro__frog_, zantetsukenz, winter64 & x_connor as runners. Were struggling but will see how we fare now we have two new members.

zantetsukenz is only helping out for this season and I also want to step down (but at the moment that isn't looking like a possibility).

League Announcement - Team sheets for fixtures 7&8 are needed by tonight and so far we have very few!

For the first time in seasons, we've got the top 5 teams all competitive and beating each other - and people think this season clan leagues have gone stale? I'm enjoying this season more than any since I started. I'm all for new challenges, but the FCL has to be kept the same.

Another suggestion would be to cut FCL to 4 games per fixture and have teams of 8 players which should mean almost twice as much teams. You could then do mini leagues and top 2, 3 or 4 qualify etc depending on league size then knockout. With only 4 games it means that you could easily get more shock results as top players would probably be spread across a number of the teams. No need for bonuses as each clan would get 2 points for a win in the leagues and then it would be knockout. Also means defaults would be easier as it would only affect the winner of a fixture and not distort leagues with high points or low point awards.

If there is a desire for more than one league and there is plenty who like the every frame to count format beenjammin to name one. I have liked the cup this season with longer formats of players favourite type. So why not make the second league FBL style except play 12 racks of each and every frame counts, top scoring team wins the league. 1 player 12 x US8, 1 player 12 x US9, 1 player 12 x UK8 and then one player plays mixed 4 racks of each. Again it is only 4 games in the fixture with teams of 8. You could also add in killer if everyone was wanting it but i would think 2 v 2 would be ample to make it easier to sort.

cracking idea

Can anyone confirm if the Transfer Windows open from today? I think that maybe why not many team sheets submitted? After Fix Set 3 & Before Set 4 says on Website.

Thanx

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.

Any One know???

Looking at the master schedule on the website the transfer window is the 4th of May

Well on the rules which I quoted, if that's the case then should be after fix 6 and 7. Two conflicting rules, jeez. Do I have to tell my new players the rules are messed up or will there be a compromise met?

Do we have to send in GSC team sheets too?

Why would there be a compromise...?

There are some mistakes on the rules that were caused by rules being carried over. I'l rectify it when I get a chance.

As has always been the case, we are following the schedules on the website.

Today is the 23rd March, so we only need the FCL team sheets.

seems that Eagles are causing a lot of defaults in the league recently. maybe removing them would be the best option.

Still waiting on team sheets from Uprising, Fighting Eagles & Ballbreakers.

You have about 20 minutes to send them through to me before fixtures are released

New set of FCL fixtures are now released and can be found here;

http://thefcl.weebly.com/fixture-set-4.html

Again, we didn't receive all team sheets. Ballbreakers & Fighting Eagles didn't send anything in so previous sheets have been used

can we have the FCL Golden Cue updated while we get games played , its always good to see whos doing well in the league . thanks

*please*?

I'l try and get someone to sort it. Before now we have had no-one available who has had the time to organise it all.

I reckon Craig, nuts and ash should run league they would do a great job

Could we please have default info from any teams that had a default in the last round of FCL fixtures (fixtures 5&6) sent to me by Sunday please.

The defaults from FCL fixtures 2 are have now been made and can be found on the website.
