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

The other teams could be involved in a similar thing, just not be going for 1st place.

What changes would make it AMAZING?!

meh this fish has gone bonkers =P
what you just said seems too complicated.

its either a private league just for fun... nice and simple
or
a promotion/relegation system, every man for itself no teams, exactly like how the BBB runs it... a bit more complicated
anything else is just like what u said, twiddling our thumbs.

Yeah I understand exactly what you mean, this whole season has been a season of hollow victories for me... =P

why don't you do the team thing and let me beat you in the last game :p haha

No need for relegation... each team just splits it's team in half...

bloop bloop

i never said i wanted to do it - i dont

or that we should - we shouldnt

or that it is practical - it isnt

just that it was a funny idea - it is

i like things EXACTLY like we have it proposed now

24 players, 4 teams, 2 leagues all competing for one championship

season 1 was 17 weeks, way too long - awful

season 2 16 weeks, better - respectable

season 3 will be 12 weeks - marvellous

Hey guys, time for this little kitty kat to but his nose in, just reading through i think a lot of people have missed Iwen's point...

Not being an original I have no loyalty to traditional system and it doesn't really bother me if we stick by it but i do agree with what Iwen is saying as it makes a lot of sense. From what i gather what he is saying is



As it stands there is 12 teams in each league, with 2 teams in each league, your playing the opposition 6 times and your own team 5. What Iwen is saying is its kind of a bit shallow seeing as half your wins will be against your own team.

What he is suggesting is putting the top 3 teams from each team in 1 league, and the bottom 3 in another league. That way instead of playing your own team 5 times, your only playing them twice. Not only that, each of the 4 teams plays each other this way, your not only getting to play against 1 other team and also the weaker teams wont get smashed by the better teams they will have more evenly matched opponents constantly. Teams are still teams just in 2 different pools basically. Theres no relegation or promotion, each team would just allocate their 3 best teams to 1 pool and the 3 weaker ones to the other.

Whether you keep the old system or the new the 4 team ladder doesn't make a whole lot of sense in the current system when there your team only plays against 1 other team, its basically just 2 separate leagues so 2 separate ladders makes more sense. If Kevin is weaker then Zylers team where as Calamari and Sharks are evenly matched, naturally Zylers Team would finish higher on the overall ladder even if both Sharks and Calamari are stronger then them, where as if each team was matched up against every other team the rightful champion would be crowned.


Like i said i have no loyalty to the traditional system being a new comer so I'm just giving my unbiased opinion so feel free to shoot it down like I'll shoot all your asses down come match time! but really either way its still gonna be fun, lets giddy up!!!!

i was just about post pretty much everything you just said.

i do hope this idea is given consideration.

either way im just glad to be in :)

When does the new season start?

Well they say great minds think a like...

And i guess we do too!

Yeah unfortunately a lot of people missed Iwen's point, or at least it seemed that way from the posts. But I think what Iwen said makes a lot of sense and is definitely the better way to do this. Doing it the way Iwen suggested will fully integrate this PL in a great way, and will be a lot more fun and competitive I think. I hope this is the way it happens.
