Thanks Chris! And thanks for your work in all 3 leagues since your return!

Can Mixed games (2 frames of each) be added in the upcoming season? it would be nice to have it like it is at snooker. We may still have two games/type + 1 game of mixed= 9 games in total

Nah if i remember:

Everyone were crying to keep it the same only thing which needs changing is the amount of frames. But obviously call for change when it suits eh?

why it would suit me i really dont know lol. But youre free to give here your explanations

Even if it stays the same it is ok for me btw

Lol why call for a change when it suits Ash, FBL suited us perfect last season so any changes could only make it worse for us if anything

LOL, was about to post the same thing!

Lmao I don't think pool suits us. Perhaps join golf instead

u still have to pot balls on golf :)

And you have more clubs to hit ASH with LOL.Not that it would do any good,he still a hard head

FBL Season 11 - Fixture Set 1

Games released and can be found here ...

http://funkypoolclanleagues.weebly.com/fbl-fixture-set-1.html

The Wolf Pack teams were drawn at random due to not receiving team lists so is likely to be subject to change.

UK and US games are now 'best of 8 racks'. First to 5 wins. At that point there is no requirement to complete any remaining unplayed racks. A game finishing 4-4 is a draw.

Straight games are 2 racks.

Thanks

IF all points are added to the league table then why not play ALL the 8 frames? Surely that would be more accurate than stopping at 5/8?

The overall win,draw or loss, will still be determined.

It is all of the individual match wins and draws that are added to the table.

All the frames should get played to count for the Golden Cue though, but thats only if players are interested for their games to be counted for it.

^^ I agree - What happens come the end of the season if teams are on the same amount of points due to stopping at 5/8 each fixture? Speaking hypothetically of course.

It's no different to teams finishing level in the FCL. Playing all 8 or stopping at the point a game is won/lost makes no difference other than it means someone who has lost does not have to play more than they need to.

If it's the same as last season format wise, I'd imagine it would be seperated by match points, then individual points difference, then head to head before it gets to frames. But last season frames weren't recorded, just the outcome of the match so it wouldn't have been possible to seperate teams by frames anyway. FBL golden cue didn't use frames either (I think), it was based on outcome of the matches.

Plus even playing all frames doesn't prevent ties via frame difference so it doesn't really matter.

To me, that is the only way that works fairly and treats all game types and opponents equally.

Yes it worked like that the last season but this time im trying to keep it on my way. If most of the games dont get completed with all their frames than probably were going back at the system used last season.

Also Straight will score the same points for the golden cue to try and equal it with the other formats. If u score more than 15 points u will get a point added to GC and if u score more than 30 u will get 2 points. Think this way its going to be more fair than it has ever been
