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.

finally a voice of reason

koop will not be stabbing his friends in the back just to rub shoulders with bigpussy and monkeyboy

sustroopers, fatbuy, jw, ta and maggots, he does care!

as i have said several times i dont run this show - that is koop and yoda - and we can't make anyone do anything, if anyone doesnt like the way the league is organised you have the ultimate power, dont participate - become a tea bagger instead

season 3 we want 4 teams of 6 (+ the outcasts seem fine to me, they arent hurting anyone) sharks, calamari, guppies and kevin

season 3 it will be sharks vs calamari and kevin vs "just zylers team"

season 4 it will probably be teams of 7 and for all i know it could be sharks vs kevin and calamari vs "just zylers team"

or we could divide into just two teams again even if the 28 players are split up into the two divisions - there are heaps of teams there that should really be calamari - iwen, ezyfrag, xerxes, beastsred, celtics, chumunga, homeaxis...

that is the plan but you all know how fast these things change

who would you be playing against 5 times?

i think "just zylers team" will have some very strong people who will provide a lot more than just "hollow victories"

well it would be MUCH better if we could have 24 teams in one league and just set the length of the season so the computer randomly generated who we play - better stillif it was like the afl and we could auto include some traditional matches like the anzac day clash etc

but we cant

we kept the power levels fairly focussed this season - guess who gave koop his closest match? possumpete!

for next season we have obviously loosened the boundaries a lot

it is a pity that we wont play you, and i wish iwen, that you were still on our team, can we trade you for possumpete?

but there will be one combined individual ladder, one team ladder and one mvp list, so all 24 teams will still be competing even if a little indirectly


it is a bit like the nba playoffs, the lakers can't knock the celtics out before the finals directly so if orlando or miami can they rejoice

yeah im happy to play against anyone, im not fussed witch way we go, as long as im doing my bit for the XBB team.

but i can see where iwen is coming from.. having a record of 8 win and 4 loses and having something like 4 hollow wins over your own team. but i also like playing against the same people. like when i beat yoda in season 1 and then he beat me in season 2, it would be good to see what happens in season 3 yoda VS maggots.

i just hope this doesn't start a shit fight again...

im happy either way.

Um... but during the regular season the East do play the West... in ours we don't..

But I'm playing my own team in 5 of the 11 games. That's my point. If split, I only play them twice out of 11 games, so if I win 9 of my 11 games it's more likely due to taking wins off other teams than my own.

But I'm not the boss, so whatever goes I suppose.

and how much does any regular season game matter?

we would never do it but one thing that would be fun (for those involved) would be at the end of the season get the top 4 teams to play in a short tournamnet style pl which i think is one of the options - anyone not currently in a pl can check - this would give us an overall final champion

but probably not worth it for the majority of the teams that are spending 3 weeks twiddling their thumbs

I don't think you get my point.

But the playoff idea just won't work, not with the tight schedule we run on.
