With 5 clans it would be pretty simple...

Chances of doing 3 v 3 v 3 v 3 v 3... 5 v 5 v 5's.

Possibilities are endless and the creation of a good format shouldn't be too difficult given some thinking time.

We've seen several times now that killer nights bring the biggest crowd online and offer the most social night on pool.. Why not just bring a league back for the last season or two.

Like I said, I'd love to run it if Horse and Ash passed up the opportunity.


It has nothing to do with me - I haven't decided what I'm doing next season...probably just captain my great team.

Killer should be introduced in FBL league as both FCL and SL are good to play in.

I do think there should be a rule that all captain's need to play in fixtures next season.

Ok so Ash isn't it it. A clan wit a captain and vice from every team except Pheonix. That's 8 players plus the captain is 9. Only need 3 or 4 more for a fun team to make up a 6th clan. To avoid any conflicts of interest no Cap or vice can play against their own clan.

Immortal capt
Faust (vice)
Buckjam
Klien
Fatmikee
Huts
Vixen
Dgen
Zante
Horse1000

There's 10 if they are interested. It's a good clan and doesn't affect anything as I see it. It's only fun isn't it.

All of the players above could still play for their respective clans without conflict imo


That sounds good with me.

And one of the vices from phoenix could still play. Ash might be scared to play a game but the rest of his team aren't

Not even needed tbh, that list is more than active enough, and Jay has a few more. I think the aim should be to slowly build a clan. Slowly recruit players until it's an independent clan with most, if not all of us returning to our own clans when Jay has enough? :D

*edit*

Possibly only enter it in the FCL to start with (if everyone agrees with the concept).

Lol scared too play I could beat most of the lineup above. It's the being on the same team as those who have given and caused me grief for ages which steers me away from this idea.

Granted we require more teams and if this is the only route to acquire one then I say go for it but my own personal involvement, thanks but no thanks. I have no issues with any of my Vices playing for it. My own preference would be they contributed only for Phoenix Revenge but they can use the fixtures here as extra game time and practice for when the real matches come along.

Want to post any clan results that you have played against any of that lineup? I'm pretty sure you have only lost!

Irrelevant anyway. You think any of that lineup actually wants to be on the same side as you? The difference being is that we can all put in a little effort for the good of the league.

It is still a real match though, I'm sure Keith would punish people who Match Fix by not caring as much.

Which brings me onto one of my points. Say Uprising needed FPD to win the title from Phoenix in the Eights match and last fixture is say Stu vs Seb, What would be stopping Stu to miss a few so Uprising wins and Phoenix doesn't? If it was other way and Eights had to win it would be different so feel if it goes ahead any Captain/Vice involved in a 'title race' at the end of the season (say last set) can't be chosen to protect influencing the matches. Not saying people are like it but eliminate the possibility.

Second Question, If this goes ahead do i enter both DFE and Eights teamlist and can play for both teams? If so i'm down for the idea BUT the only time i was ever loaned into a clan, i got stick as i tried my best but people accused me of match fixing so if i can only play for one team then it is DFE as i won't go through that again and promised myself i wouldn't loan myself to another team. If i can play for both then i don't see a problem.

Overconfidence is one of my pet hates personally, i could say i would beat Seb 50-0 but realistically i know it wouldn't happen, would win maybe 1 out of 3 or 4 frames against him. Same as i could say DFE will win the FCL next season but i think realistically rather than setting up for a trap when it doesn't happen

Your point is a valid one. There's also issues like if legend_pot was to play for this team - that would give Phoenix a clear advantage unless a player as good as legend_pot was to play against Phoenix. I think that's why the captains playing was suggested in the first place, because none of them are stellar players. I wouldn't suggest corsair, chocco or harriet played for this team for example.

There's clearly a lot to be ironed out if it was to go ahead, but the idea is purely to help out the FCL.

There's plenty of time to figure it out.. I think it's a good idea anyway. And love the sound of a killer league.

true, doesn't have to be Captains but even players who rarely get a match against a top team, like itapool for example, not singling him out of course but that could work.

Other idea is Clans select 2 players from their teamlist but has to be active and prepared to play more games, Ability shouldn't matter but Keith could block a move if say dvz was allowed to play for both.

Honestly I think keep it simple. Just start it with the names already mentioned (as long as they're happy to play) and add 4 or 5 free agents. Always select the free agents before the volunteers and slowly build the clan up that way! :)

Yep fair point, my point still stands though, i want to play for both clans if it goes ahead or just DFE. Hopefully people won't be accused of fixing fixtures like on Snooker.

while i agree in some respect, we should do anything possible to save clans, look at Snooker, little arguments but clans died in January, since then its almost been deserted except for one event.

i'd rather see 5 clans than 6 still BUT if this idea saves the league it is only a positive.

Idea is for Jay or whoever runs it to sign 5-8 free agents but has to sign more as soon as he can and Stu can help there, As new signings come loans go back to their Original Teams one by one then you have a new clan

no its point blank stupid and phoenix will be no part of this and simply refuse to play any player that is part of a second clan
