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!

yer country ranking are somewhat useless (too cup dependent)

id say we wait to hear from yoda and the council before we plan any further .

because while the idea has merit and im for it , it is there league and how they run it has worked well , hell its worked great so much so that ive been battling to get in since season 1 lol , and each season they have had an overflow.

Yeah, the popularity is huge...and I have had fun being a part of it. It has been good starting to get involved in the australian buzzerbeater community that little bit more.

If we do divide the team's, maybe after the end of season processing happens in the next few days and everyone salary is adjusted to there players skills, we could get someone like C-Cat with experience and knowledge about the game to try and work out the fairest and even way to divide us.

Yeah we have meddled with this before and the consensus from the majority was that they did not like the idea of a promotion/relegation style PL. I guess they liked playing against each other for the bragging rights.
They pretty all much said if people wanted a system like that they have more then enough players to start that on their own, which is why the TEA PL was formed..

The fishbowl was just a collection of friends playing in a PL together for shits n giggles, nothing too serious. All fun and games really. A releation/promotion style PL sounds too serious and could disrupt the unity/balance we have going for us thus far.

Anyways things change, that's why its good to have these forums to discuss these kinda things to see where people stand.
But this is coming from a scrub div4 team who rose to the heights of the ABBL...=P maybe i need a bigger pond to swim in. hahahah

But it's not about relegation/demotion. It's just splitting the teams up so I don't have to play against them 5 times, leading to hollow victories. If this is 4 teams going against each other, it should be 4 teams playing against each other.

Otherwise the 2nd group basically is the TEA cup just re-badged under this private league.
