National Online League - Season 6 Formats

[Tiger-flash]

If it is not broken, then why try and fix it?

I agree, keep it as it is. I would go for option one if we had to as i dont mind changing Notts to East Midlands. Tbh though ive got more players already for next season as ive been on a big recruitment drive so we are ready to give it a go again after just avoiding relegation by the skin of our teeth lol.

Only just caught up with this thread.....so gotta put my size tens into it.

Firstly.....Scouse, if you think I did no recruiting for the West Midlands last season, then you are wrong.  Also, Captaining a team is about getting your players to play each week and not just about getting them to sign up.

Secondly, please keep the points system as-is, although stipulating a pro-rata payout in relation to points gained for maybe the top 10 players in the winning team would be a good move.

Finally, if you are going to move away from the "normal" means of recruitment towards a draft, then as the NFL was mentioned, base the draft on the NFL.
1. Get everyone who is interested in playing to sign up on here
2. Decide on the draft order
3. Nominate team Captains
4. Get each Captain to CHOOSE 15 players from the list
5. Once each team has 15 players, all of the others become "Free-Agents" who are able to sign for any team that they wish.

If the draft becomes an allocation, then that IMO would be a load of......well....you know. (And WOULDN"T be a draft anyway!)

my 2cents worth fwiw (about 2 cents)

I play these games on an occasional basis and my only motivation for playing is because I"m playing for Stockton, my local team. I know and love the past and new captains and know and love most of the rest of the Stockton team.

If the teams are amalgamated into bigger areas, or just become "chosen" then I doubt I"d ever give up my Sunday evenings for this.

Im in favour of the online competition following the lines of recent team competitions, with the online games working towards a grand live final.

So for APAT it would be teams of a certain number ( say 6 or 4 ). People could form teams with whoever they like, maybe regional based if they like or not, and a section of the forum could be used to attract players to complete teams or for players to find a team.

There are then a series of games that players play and points are gained towards a live final. These points determine the starting stack at the live final.

I think this format encourages both participation and recruitment, as people will play right through to the live final and also new players will be encouraged to join to complete teams. It means that people can stick with some of the players in their team previously and of course critically it ensures teams are equal in size. It would of course also create a great live weekend too !

Just seen this thread......................good luck in sorting out an impossible task  

No interest in the Draft idea at all.
