Exactly so you could increase clans even further to 20 to decrease defaults further, that wouldn't be right either. I personally think 16 is needlessly to many and if it was reduced to say 12, as an example, that would free up another clans worth of players from the 3 teams you mentioned who were reliable.

I like playing, waiting 3 weeks for a game in a season that's running is too much as is the current situation.

The rules are up to a maximum of 16. Teams like UB, pros will probably only have 12 max anyway. You would not create anyone else by reducing the clan size you may just make captains more selective of who they let join in the first place. By having the larger number you allow clans to be slightly less picky when choosing players so you are really just finding a home for the inactive or unreliable players by having the 16.

If you wanted to drop clan size and create more teams, drop the number of games in a fixture from 8 to 6 or even 4 and then you could double your teams and have more teams that were capable of winning the league.

pirate_steve and zante have asked me to assist for the rest of the season which I am happy to do.

All of the League sites have been amended to take account of the folding clans and upcoming schedules will also be shortened accordingly to try and remove as many 'byes' for clans as possible.

Off the top of my head it looks like the following remains (not including any current Fixture Sets)...

FCL - 4 Fixture Sets
FBL - 2 Fixture Sets
SL - 2 Fixture Sets plus Play-Offs
Cup - 4 Fixture Sets

Therefore everything should be done and dusted by early June if not before then.

lmao just had the funnest thing in years of fcl happen to me a new Sergent major asks to have word i said yes they ask me to edit thread as new player got score wrong, but i had already corrected mistake one post up but Mr Sergent major had to make sure they pointed it out they were league runners.

now i never knew F.B.I were back or the funky police league runner stick to league RUNNING. not poking nose into others threads we got it sorted.

Dude gingers do what they want... you cant stop them

Welcome back mate, back where you belong imo.

Stereotyping and Discrminating again Jon

Their taking over the world man!!!

mate they everywhere i had to spend £20 on a wig to blend in

Its a bloody JOKE Ash calm down.

his ginger aswell ray hence why his so defensive

yep gingerbread men everywhere lol even in my oven lol

Ken you've been with a goldfish bruv

Whatever Mr Pickles whatever - And no I'm not.

glad to hear, 1 less ginger in the world

blonde ??

i really don't no where the rubbish comes from regarding restarting the leagues--- they are in progress end of

regarding teams folding if they do they do --- thats clan life

these problems all occur due to the amount of games being played regardless of what anyone says

it doesn't matter whose fault it is, its a fact

new players cant hack the constant undertone and rubbish spouted to get games played, its never been so bad in my 13 seasons of clan pool

teams and players don't like getting battered they never have and never will, its competitive and there is a complete mis-match of skills in clan pool at the moment

people can say players need to practice lmao really, no they need to play amongst players of there own standard

it must make the very good teams feel great battering minnows helps with the egos i guess, one thing it doesn't do is help players confidence in genuine new teams

2 divisions wasn't a failure like a member said its simple you play each other twice and make 2
if the better teams don't agree it concurs with egos being the driving force

things have changed so much in clan pool, defaults panels binned players wanting leagues stopping and restarting
players egos are so big now its unreal and out of control

if people don't a agree with the so called upper tier players boom shot to bits and humiliated

sorry that's whats wrong with clan

IMO

i will continue with a proposal

marraige craig...i cant im sorry

LMAO

solution in my opinion is one league
as many divisions as required

yes its Super League
run by mods
8 players per team
5 matches

when SL was introduced there were loads of people knocking it
wow it became the best less argumentative league ever in clan pool

it was a total success
next to no rules
without any doubt players enjoyed it
next to zero if any defaults

so why not have this as an example

the new league incorporates the following
1) Super league itself
2) the Individuals to stay class idea Chris open to all
3) Team Cup competition
4) Killer league separate and why not players like it
5) bring back the Arcade Cup too

this i think brings the fun back to clan pool
it evens the skill level out
promotion and relegation

why not give it a go
8 players signed 5 games
means more teams

well its an idea
