only next season will be 12 teams per PL
after that we will have 14 teams per PL just like the BBB PL.

so xbb has their 6
iv7 has their 6
c-cat now needs to come up with 6
zyler needs to come up with 6

got about 3 weeks left to decide

I presume you meant 16 not 14 :P

I think the original guys should have priority over the newer guys when it comes to getting a team, i personally would feel like quite the ass if a guy who was involved last season got left out in place of me purely because i have a better team. Maybe not so much the inactive / quieter guys but definitely guys who are heavily involved.

Maybe me, zyler and the bigshots can sit down and nut out some teams over the next couple of days, Is it worth seeing if any of the available teams have preferences as to who they'd rather go with? So long as its fair if someone really wanted to go with zyler over me for example it would be kinda pointless teaming them up with me.

14 teams per PL is correct.
16 teams will be too long and will drag the PL over pass the next season like it has the past two seasons...

the BBB has 14 teams per PL and always starts a new PL season as soon the league season starts... so they have a good and thought out template that we can follow.

C-cat we need people who are able to lead and set up the PL. We don't want games to be played at 3am in the morning now do we? You are the perfect candidate as you know what your are doing... and anyone else for that matter who thinks they can do it can put their hands up for the job as well =P

ah okay sounds good to me :P

3/4 teams are now finalised and 4/6 players on the last team. Possibly tonight I will be able to announce the final teams and the 24 players. I know these changes are sudden but we think they are for the long term good.

Well after several hundred posts and BB-mails this is it. The provisional teams. We are very sorry for the teams that missed out and there are some that are very dear to me that it really sucks for. However once we decided to go with 24 we were always going to have to cut some good friends and some good teams.

Provisional Teams (yes I know these don't look much like they did just a few days ago)

Fishbowl East

Team Kevin
Pancakes with Jam and Cream ABBL
Kynala Knights II
Persepolis Immortals III
Beasts Reds III
Eggplantpopolopolous II
Slam! II
Total = 13

Team Guppies
amos rogues III
Monkey Biz II
Rampaging Marmots II
Zazzocalypse II
shepparton shooters III
Home Axis III
Total = 15

Fishbowl West

XBB Sharks
Koopasaurus ABBL
Da Fat Boy Slim II
SASTROOPERS II
Maggots II
jw allstars III
TeamAkuma III
Total = 13

IV.7 Calamari
Chelsea Seagulls II
Viral Infections II
Cowboys From Hell II
Melbourne Goldfish II
Possum Chasers III
Western Titans II
Total = 13

Quite good balancing with only the Guppies being 2 points behind the rest but 5/6 of them should be near the top of their leagues.

None of this is set in stone. We are happy to hear from anyone about any issues. Don't like your team, don't like your team name, missed out and should be in, whatever. Just be friendly and communicative and we will do what we can.

There has even been another suggestion to have a THIRD parallel league "The Outcasts" for those that missed out if they are still interested in forming an all Aussie PL. Don't forget there is still the Tea Cup who have a lot of great teams competing there as well.

Phew.

I'm very keen. Can't wait to get this started so count me in

TEA cup have 1 more PL game left followed by another 3 weeks of playoffs

Go team guppies?

glad to hear your in :)

i am.

glad we could come up with some fairly good balanced teams.

This league will wait for no man or monkey. We have 2 weeks of games followed by one round of playoffs. We will start on time. Last season Western Titans had to forefit the SF in his PL to make it here in time. Everyone has been warned.
