third way seems fine to me. I don't really care which way it is run, I'll enjoy it regardless, I'm just saying that Iwen's way makes a lot of sense.

Yeah i think if this pools method is taken on we need to think of a valid way to split the teams

There's nothing stopping a team saying well our 3rd best team wont win much in the stronger league and our weakest team wont win anything anywhere so why not put our worst team in the strong league so our 3rd team can dominate the weaker league... Could get all way to strategic and kind of defeat the purpose.

Perhaps either have an independent evaluation / head honcho's pick the best from each team. Or another option to avoid in team bickering also maybe scrap the strong and weak team divisions and just randomly pick teams from each team to play in each pool regardless of strength, Though while that still achieves the all 4 teams face each other issue it kind of defeats the purpose of allowing the weaker teams a chance to contribute and not have to play teams like koop, monkey, myself etc...

Ccat I see where you are coming from with the random generation but it would defeat the gold fish idea of playing together with a few ppl. In saying that not everyone have mind set too cheat. So to make every one happy especially the founding members, we just make it flexible as posible.

I would think that we all as managers would respect each other to know where to put people. So as not to have 3 huge teams versing the weaker teams. But really there would would be no advantage to sending your best 3 to the bottom anyway as you are essentially sacrificing half of your points on the overall ladder. I would think having the even playing field would mean higher ranked managers would have even more chances to help lower teams get wins and place higher for there team. I do think that if a particular person wants to play in a league because his friends are in there, there is nothing wrong with that, but i know most of us are happy playing people we haven't played before and to create new rivalries.

I am currently happy with the idea of having what is 3 v 3 v 3 v 3 as it would give me more bragging rights over teams (when we win of course), but at the same time it is actually 6 v 6 v 6 v 6, true i don't play 12 teams but i wouldn't feel that i would get points for playing those particular 12 teams anyway.

In the end it is a shorter season and i know most of us will be around here for a while to come, so that means we are going to have plenty more seasons to grow and eventually crush everyone.

i figured we would all just choose fairly to keep the balance

in the guppies its clear cut

we have 3 div 2 teams , and 3 div 3 teams

theres out split :)

all this talk of a div1 and div 2 or a losers league is wrong from my point of view.

its 2 pools of the same league

and as for smeltz being in the 2nd pool wouldnt sass be in the top league if we are going for balance ?

Um on a side note when will our players wages get updated??

well said.

lol we bost just applauded each other at the same time.

on a side note

i spent 40k on scouting all season to end up with completely shite players , my draft was already looking terrible

but damn

well guess i wont be training my own gem this season either.

I got lucky and was able to get one half decent player, he was my #1 pick for the entire season and he should turn out to be a really good player if all goes well

PG/18/Superstar/with RES Skills

i think if we go through this awful pathetic atrocious path we should just trust the teams to be fair and put the strongest teams in the strongest leagues, then publish their decision asap, we will all see if they are trying to rort anything and usually that is only the xbb that try dirty dishonest tricks like that

but they have already got their list organised

xbb sharks
1 koop
2 dfbs
3 maggots
4 sas
5 jw
6 ta

so if we are split 1 way, 2, 3 or 6 we still know their order

guppies are easy if z doesnt mind being captain from d2
1 Monkey Biz
2 Zazzocalypse
3 Rampaging Marmots
4 amos rogues
5 Home Axis
6 shepparton shooters

even kevin seems close to easy
1 Pancakes with Jam and Cream
2 Kynala Knights
3 Eggplantpopolopolous or Slam!
4 the other one
5 Persepolis Immortals
6 Beasts Red

the hard one is actually us
IV.7 Calamari
1 Chelsea Seagulls
2-5 really hard to split Viral Infections, Cowboys From Hell, Melbourne Goldfish and Western Titans - all 4 about equal and deserve a shot at the top division
6 Possum Chasers
