guess not eri, would be like cup on snooker i'm guessing and i don't think defaults would be done, if tied it would make +/- unbalanced though.

I may have this wrong, but I think the overall win gets 3 bonus points Eri. So every frame still matters!

If every frame doesn't matter there will be defaults galore

Teams level on points would be split by frames won / lost.
So all frames will still count.

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!

That means defaults will still be done right?

Yes

That is a good thing.

It is just the format that nearly every league the world over has, so don't see why our top league does not share the same.

Wouldn't it make more sense to be allowed subs at the half way point of a fixture, say 10 days? For someone that can't play 7 days a week it leaves very little time to get the game arranged and done in the last week, considering how hard it is to arrange with some people on here as well.

I'm only available to play 4 days a week at the most so leaving it till the last week just isn't enough imo.

It is to encourage people to have active players in from the start instead of what happened often last season, players inactive from the start kept in till the fixtures end. At least this way there is some pressure to provide a good opponent from the start. Also, swapping is still fine from the start (if I have read the rules right), so you'll still be able to change opponents if things are inconvenient.

Fair enough then m8, didn't know subs wern't allowed to the 3rd week till I saw eri's post so I thought it was to stop all the tactical subs.

FCL Fix set 1: No Defaults - Can you reduce the No subbing down to 1 week restriction please this set?

I think it works well just 2 weeks is a little too long IMO.

No it will be remaining as 2 weeks for the whole season and the fact there was no defaults proves that games can be completed with the rule in place.

Nearly was one - but fair enough it was only a request.

Its the same, 3 weeks, 2 weeks or 1. Some players wont or cant be bothered to organize their games and then get the hump when they are put under pressure to play. Its always someone elses fault as to why it wasnt done earlier and its left to the captains.to row and argue because of it. It was the same last season and the season b4. You cant blame the players for fear of them leaving. Rock and a hard place im afraid.

You will never remove all defaults what ever happens
