I would eliminate SL as much as i like it, too short in frames too, FBL is bearable and FCL is the King

SL fits in with the ideas for a cut back set of leagues already, to eliminate that in favour of cutting the other leagues in half seems silly. FBL is harder to play, keep the league that fits in if you scrap a league.

In terms of the priority and what people see as the most important league, I think SL is at the bottom of the pecking order. It doesn't quite fit with a clan of 16 players where only 5 get a game, so less than a third of a full clan gets a game in a fixture.

Yet theres a discussion about reducing clan numbers and having 4v4 fixtures in all leagues.

In terms of competition, the SL is the most competitive. It is the only competition that has thrown out surprises. If people want more competitive leagues then surely that is the top of the pecking order?

With two teams you cover 10 of 16 players, so the SL gives the greater number of games. If you have 16 players active then 2 SL teams isn't a problem. Even with less it can be done. If you don't have enough for 10 SL games then you can't be comfortable with 8 FCL or 8 FBL.

If clan numbers were to be reduced, SL is still fine as it is.

I would eliminate the FBL.

Feels redundant, not to mention it isnt competitive.. When fixtures are released you know roughly who will win what games because of who can play what types better.

Keep SL over FBL.

if we keep SL then i would raise frames as top players think its a waste of time playing for 20 minutes.

Top players don't like it as it is the most likely format to throw up an upset due to the short format.

And this is why I like the shorter format, the best players need to be on their A game as anyone can win in a short format so for me keep it. I'd like to see the FCL dropped to 4 games rather than 5, and introduce a player v player bonus so if player A is drawn v player B they complete the game they gain a bonus point. I'd love to see a reduction in players being swapped, I have myself been messed about for over a week to then be taken out or swapped in a game! Very frustrating but understand it needs to happen too, I'd say allow subs when needed but get rid of swaps as you were drawn v this player so arrange to play unless you can't then a sub is introduced.

If all clans and players would be happy to join any team then reducing the team size reduction could work, but teams on here have active players so will impact on them removing a player and a bit unfair I believe. We need a format and games that allow for the current active members, don't change so much the clan leagues are working and have done for many season under Chris and now Keith, just need a slight change due to the loss of players!

I am off on holiday to Ibiza tomorrow for a week. I may be able to log in on my phone or iPad if I get some wifi at hotel but I might just drink the bar dry instead

I am sure that any of the players who have assisted this season will help things to tick over until I get back. But any problems message me and if I do get access I will respond.

I have extended the SL deadline to the 12th July as I won't be releasing the final to after that weekend anyway. The only thing is the clan killer which I have requested punkpoet to assist with but if he can't be around there is no reason why the captains can't organise these games at the agreed times anyway.

Thanks

Fighting Eagles has already been capped... Although I would put that down to poor persistence rather than a lack of players. I have been looking myself lately and found a few non-clan players that may be willing to join clans, but unfortunately, not that many.

Easily FCL is top of EVERY clans wish lost to win.

FBL gives players the opportunity to play predominantly in their favourite format, which IMO gives more opportunity for an upset due to chance of 2 quality players meeting and 50/50 chance of getting a result.

SL as said above, is short, sweet, AND, is ANYONES game.

3 Leagues that work in their OWN ways.

If I were to get rid of anything, it would be Cups and Killer.

Cups are in such a long format that they will, the majority of times, go to one of the top teams.
Killer, personally, I can't have
cause it's ALL about ME
lmao, but it ain't so much of a team game. Unless there was the ability to separate the players in the same team, I don't see the point. Granted, if anything, you could possibly restart until maybe a maximum of 2 team-mates followed each other, but I still don't like the thought of that!
