I love your enthusiasm ezyfrag, you always take news well.

So, are we splitting the teams onto the two divisions? Or do teams remain in the same division as their teams.

I think we need to split the teams into each division.

Reasons being:

- Less free wins against your team. With the current setup, teams can win 5 games against their own team. When split, in the private league they can win only a maximum of 2 games against their own team.
- My team is going up against XBB and IV.7, but I don't play any of them?

If you split the teams, place the stronger ones in Division I, and the weaker teams in II, all members of their team have a chance to contribute some wins against similar level opponents.

Off the top of my head

Chumunga
Crockers
Hobos
Pwnage
City Celtics
Massive Ballers
The Dons

But I am sure there were more. Not far off having an "Outcasts League".


Have 8 teams in the Outcast league, split them into the 4 teams, and have their results count towards ours. Then when we expand back to the original size, integrate them into the teams.

Agreed. +1

Games against your own team is sorta redundant so the fewer the better. Teams are much more willing to help eachother when they aren't gonna have to play that team in the coming weeks.

I think from what Koopa said yesterday the expansion would make each league a max of 14 teams so i dont know that their will be scope for all 8 to come in but who knows......Any way we can still be integrated would be cool and of course i want to stay as active as i can on here as i want to be in that next expansion with bevers!

first of all the teams look fantastic

i think the calamari will kick butt because we have all good teams...except for PossumPete

don't know how the splitting will go down, i am fairly sure the xbb guys like fatbuy and sustroopers said that they wanted to play with and against each other as much as possible

on the other hand i am sure kopasoreass would love to try his team against guys like the big pussy and monkeyboy and he wouldnt mind stabbing his friends in the back to do it

and before peeps get too excited about this idea think about where you will be and who with if we need 3 from each in top and 3 from each in bottom this is how it probably would look

would you like that? i wouldnt!

top 12 "the elitists"
Pancakes with Jam and Cream ABBL
Kynala Knights II
Monkey Biz II
Rampaging Marmots II
Zazzocalypse II
Koopasaurus ABBL
Da Fat Boy Slim II
Maggots II
Chelsea Seagulls II



unsure 40% chance of being a reject
Slam! II
Eggplantpopolopolous II
Melbourne Goldfish II
Cowboys From Hell II
Western Titans II


bottom 12 "the spazo losers"
Persepolis Immortals III
Beasts Reds III
amos rogues III
shepparton shooters III
Home Axis III
SASTROOPERS II
jw allstars III
TeamAkuma III
Viral Infections II
Possum Chasers III

instead we have 24 equal teams competing on an equal footing

can the mvp come from the bottom division?
is it right that when we toss a coin and slam goes up and egg goes down that slam wins no matches at all and egg wins them all?
maybe the right strategy would be to send your 3 worst teams up for no wins and 3 best down for all wins except against each other

bleh

The teams need to be split by strength. Best 3 go top, bottom 3 go to II.

This ensures the teams in II can have a fighting chance, and can contribute. It's no fun for a team to go 0-13 cause they're not very strong.

But the most important thing is, if my team is gonna be ranked against XBB and IV.7, I want to beat them. I can't do that without going up against their best 3 teams in my league. If I'm going up against only zylers team, I don't feel like I'm playing against you guys and I'm just part of a separate PL.

Do we leave it to the teams themselves then to split themselves into the divisions? Or do we give the job to the captains?

Unless anyone can think of another way to do it of course...It is a shame that the country rankings are a bit hit and miss!
