1 big division is the best way means you play everyone and overall the teams who deserve to be at the top are!

Not sour grapes at all we finished 5th and 6th I'd take that any time over 2nd, and two bottom last. Yeah I tried to get both sides to win equal amount of matches it worked but I do agree had we stuck or kept the same 4/5 together throughout we would have qualified.
The SUPER LEAGUE is from my understanding a league for the best players. I lived in Dorset and they have a Super League for darts and pool. These leagues are for the cream of the county. FPD have had 15-16 players all season. Amongst them is arguably the best player on here and 3-4 very good players. I said from the start that they deserved a chance to win something. We we not going to win the FCL or FBL as that takes a deep squad with quality throughout. So to make up three teams with 1 good one and 2 average made sense. It is important to remember that without the other 11 players playing in the other 2 teams it would have been unlikely that Team A would have come second as i would have had to dilute the quality with more average players. So without team b and team c we wouldnt be where we are and thats why the other 11 are just as important as the main 5-6. As for coming bottom. The more average players within the team won a few games. In fact team c beat the pros in one. A fantastic performance. Both teams though would be hard pressed to better the best players of the other teams. I m sorry Ash but you didnt do it right. To be fair to your very best you need three teams imo

Perhaps Ash should have took this route, considering it was quite obvious they weren't going to beat Uprising to either the FBL or FCL.
But I honestly think even if Ash had took this route, the top 4 would have remained the exact same.
Its simple, the Top 4 was the top 4 because they were the best teams and had the best, smartest, captains.

Haha, thanks bud. My point is if he had played _fresh_, miss harriet, jjoey and legend_pot in every match for team A it would have been tougher for his opponents. They may well have still fallen short but at least it was the best against the best. As soon as you dilute those 4 with a player slightly less good player the percentage off victory could drop. And as fcl and fbl showed you cant afford to lose a single game so you cant afford to take chances on slightly inferior players. I aint knocking players or their quality mind. Just that some are better than others. I worried after set 1 that i had messed it up by doing 3 tbh but if you have 15-16 players and believe in them to get their games played then its not a problem.

He didn't say that, his idea still allows 3 teams
Good idea, that would ensure all teams only enter two sides each and bring back some balance.

It's ironic that we wasn't bothered about SL success at the start of the season, and we've got all 3 teams through, and Ash was desperate for success and has monumentally failed. And his bitterness has yet again caused him to try and belittle FPD's achievement.
SL is supposedly a fun league with a random element, not to be taken too seriously. The is no need for format change, and 2 divisions wouldn't work unless every team was set. Any competition benefits from having more teams in the league. Talk of entering one team is not only selfish, but harmful to the competition. I hope we still have to enter a minimum of 2 teams. I think SL has room for flexibility, and as well as my idea to to allow dispensation for free agents to bring more players into the league, I think non clan members should be allowed to enter an independent team if they wished, and I also think that members of clans that are unlikely to get a game should be allowed to play for other teams.

I dont think entering 1 team is selfish as pds always did this. Simply to aviod problems. Though after being forced to do 2 teams feel happy with that.
Dont fancy 3 i mean leaves 1 sub in each. Think 3 would be considered more with free agents.

If you're so set on bringing and incorporating these so called free agents (which I think you've forgotten EVERYONE is inbetween seasons) and new players to clans then why aren't you adding any to your team list? Instead only signing the best players so it's just hypocrisy at it's finest.
IF there's an option of having 1 side then we may just do that. Not to the detriment of the league but remembering and trying to maintain the notion clans are optional and not mandatory.
We all log on here to play some pool and enjoy it, there's no fun in logging on and being demanded or expected to play a fixture on every single occasion. So one side will suffice, two maximum.

I mean, you have a vast catalogue of competition, but this really is one of your more moronic posts. At the moment we have 16 players for next season. Hence why I'd like the opportunity to sign free agents with dispensation. So your accusation of hypocrisy just highlights yet again your unrivaled idiocy.
Regarding the amount of teams, we didn't struggle at all with 3 teams, nor did any of us find playing 6 frames of pool on an online pool playing game a chore. After all, you join a clan to play games right? In fact, it only seems to be you that struggles with the SL. Maybe you should let friendyboy or one of your less incompetent captains run your SL teams for you next season?

Don't you sign only the best players as well?

No I don't - just a few I've signed over past few seasons; ghost_chili, nzym_visual, 2pac786 (didn't even have a pool account lol), dozer, roxbury_100, vixen_xox, sinkemall, slimeball, friendyboy - some great players there listed now - but when added they weren't and they still wouldn't class themselves as TOP players now either.

But how would you split the leagues fairly... Its hardly fair if you have 3 uprising teams in the same league but FPD have one team in that league and two in the other. So in response we just switch our "A" and "B" team into the league where we are most likely to go through.
^^ Thats just an example.
2 teams go int separate leagues (a's in one, b's in the other). Any 3rd teams can be evenly spread between the two. You would probably have team lists locked to each team rather than swapping between teams each set.
With most sides putting 2+ teams in surely there could be 2 leagues, having the top teams meeting in a knockout situation.
Would be less games too.
If either league, or division, had 2 teams from the same Clan then they could play each other in the first fixture to avoid any controversy, if that's possible, at the end.
