I would vote for 8 pm.

It's not rocket science pal but only one man can make this decision, hope it goes to a vote

Apologies but we was too passionate last season, i admit i let personal feelings get in the way which was my own fault. We did try and arrange a date and time, unfortunately it went out of hand and i apologise (have done several times). At the time i wanted to stick to my guns instead of giving up and have a guaranteed 100% loss, can't blame me for that though.

I find the problem is people only want to use their elite best on Pool, While we didn't have that elite squad, their wasn't a way i was going to drop dvz from Killer after already sacrificing Greg who is also a great player to play on Sunday.

On Snooks, some games went to default but the majority was play whoever towards the end of the two weeks (vs strong teams, teams want a good lineup).

I think problem is having too many play at once too, while its excellent and fun, trying to arrange with 3 or 4 clans isn't easy. Two should be no problem but doing that makes it boring.

Hope you reconsider mate

thought its always been 9 anyway, unless its sorted by caps?

Has been far as i know yeah, Only reason i didn't like it in previous seasons is Snooker had theirs at the exact same time and Pool chose the same time and didn't feel it was right members choosing between the two sites. Snooks will be gone soon so above statement of mine is gone.

Now i'm thinking about younger members or those who have to work early, its fine to have it at 9 if you have two teams but three or more can take two hours or more and it isn't fair on those who has to leave.

Thinking if its 8 pm then, two hours takes it to 10 pm here which isn't too late and still on in the evening. If i had to vote i would vote 8 pm Sundays OR 9 pm Saturdays as most i don't think work on Sundays

Can't accuse us of that James. We didn't select Jack once, and didn't play Sean in the final! AND we let Eri play!

Kid's back at school, no more major calendar events until February. Start the season Keith!!!

Delay the season Keith, not everyone is able to boast or claim they have all their players back available just yet. I suggest giving us till say the end of this month and start February would be better instead.

That gives all sides plenty of time to see who's returned or not and maybe throw in a few or one friendly too.

Cheers.

I might have an interest in the site by then too.

seems too long, would say Mid January earliest is a good idea, it gives people time who are still enjoying festivities a chance to get back to Pool.

Its already been two weeks since season ended, three to four i think is a good break but February seems too long for me and possibly others too who want to play ASAP rather than wait another four weeks

Dont delay it. The site is already dead without clans

"New Year, same old dictatorial crap from Uprising"

Woah. A certain prolific banned poster mailed me and told me you was on browsing everyday through the festive period (although he didn't check on Christmas day). That's some going for someone that's not interested!!

The site is dying an absolute death. I've not checked who is available or not but Christmas and New Year is over, so starting now would be no different to starting in February. It's rank stupidity to see the decline and think a solution is "let's wait and hope it picks up". Let's get on it!!!!

Who are you quoting? Have you any idea how moronic it is to quote yourself??

Or is it not even a quote and you have no idea how to use quotation marks?

There is no need for your tone anyway, seeing as though it's not just Uprising who want the season to start, and we're not "dictatorial" as we're not trying to dictate to anyone!

Yeah all you have to do is look at Snooker, By as early as next week all clans on Snooker will be shut down. I'll be honest, i will miss playing and updating my automatic tables but fairly soon Pool will be the only site with a Clan League and longer it waits the more risk of more people being bored and doing other things. I'm already raring to go and i know a few guys feel the same.

Hopefully won't be anymore than a fortnight

He is quoting eri mate from Who is Better Discussion.

I can excuse Eri, as I wouldn't know how to use Albanian punctuation marks in the correct context.

Anyways, all that is nonsense. Clearly the leagues need to start asap, before everyone drifts away!

Yeah James I was but you'd think Einstein would have already known that.

Browsing all the festive period.... Lol...no chance
You need to speak with your little ELF and tell him to get his facts right before you post utter trash.

Yes, Einstein would've assumed that someone was incorrectly using their own language. Of course he would! lol

Think you'll find "My little Elf" likes me about as much as he likes you! He has no reason to lie, and despite all his bile - has never done so before.

Anyway, I shouldn't have let myself get into a bickering match with you. I have no interest in it, and you don't have the necessary tools for the job. Whatever incoherent outburst you respond with I will ignore. Sorry to the people reading wanting to contribute to the discussion about the league.

So far everyone I have spoken to is in favour of starting soon. Can other people please give their opinion one way or another? Cheers!!

Can all clans who wish to participate in FCL Season 27, FBL Season15 and SL Season X.

Please can you send me full team lists by midnight on 7th January.

FCL Season 27 will remain unchanged from last season.

FBL Season 15 is going to be smaller teams like super league and all teams enter 2 teams and it will be one game of each type, US8, US9, UK8 & Straight.

I need all teams lists split into 2 teams and no player can play for their clans other team unless exceptional circumstances prevail and it will be at the discretion of league runners.

SL Season X will be exactly the same as last season but their will be no movement of players between the clan teams like last season unless exceptional circumstances prevail and it will be at the discretion of league runners, all clans again must enter 2 teams and send me lists of their teams, i would suggest no clan attempts 3 teams as with no movement of players it will be a lot harder to complete fixtures but i will leave this up to the captains to decide.

Killer Challenge Cup will remain unchanged from last season.

Grand Slam Cup will remain unchanged from last season.

Players Championship if a player wishes to participate he requires to register his interest here by midnight on January 15th:-

Best to start soon IMO. The longer the wait the risk of more becoming uninterested.

I am hoping to start as soon as possible, after i have lists from all clans i can do fixture rota etc, the quicker i can do this the quicker it will start. It was always planned to have a break over xmas and new year then get going asap afterwards.
