they have been given the chance, now let them prove themselves. In my opinion you did the right thing, but time will tell.

oh and by the way if the league is a mockery cool_dude i would like to see you, ipotalot and anyone else who slated me run it (in fact try running it on your own next season).

i run any choices by the league runners, remember league runners ALWAYS get the final say and if they don't feel comfortable changing something then why should they?

new cup draw:

Round 1:

Unbeatables vs Snooker Squad (winner vs Underdogs)
Team Angry vs MVP (winner vs Top Guns)
Mouseketeers vs Shooters (winner vs Latin Legends)
Top Dogs vs Wolf Pack (winner vs Top Pool Aces)

Even if something is changed that most people want, we still managed to get slated over it even when it is changed. It's very hard to sit hear and read your posts about what you think will make the league better, and come too some sort of agreement, but its even harder when you sit there and slate us for making a choice that we think is best for the league in the long run.

I was sadly out voted about raising the cup to larger numbers, but i accept that the vote has been made. Who knows maybe it will be in play for next season.

Think that draw is the biggest arguement to have the cup seeded, all the minor teams get a bye and the big clans get drawn 1st round, for a challenging competition surely that isn't the optimum solution.

it was discussed but it got negative feedback.

Yeah I know but 4 of the top clans out 1st round all the minor clans in the quarters.. makes you think

If they are so "minor" they won't be a problem then

Just like to see the final levels be a challenge not the first round then a walk in the park...

My last post was a joke by the way

Come on Jay you know where I'm coming from here surely?

i actually think the cup should be seeded but all we got to base it on is shooters won division 2 which doesn't help.

i was actually thinking of a ranking system where you would earn points depending on where you finished in the league table.

since division 1 is more important i would set it something like this:

Div 1:

Winner - 500
Runner Up - 300
3rd - 200
4th - 150

Div 2:

Winner - 400
Runner Up - 200
3rd - 150
4th - 100

etc

or actually use the score they finish with as their points but as im not lasting i can't see it happening.

I like the idea or seeding

so do i but would need something to base it on.

i know MVP would be number 1 but i think rules state because they folded then revived they would be treated as a new clan, of course with my ranking system i would leave any team who fold on there as their only punishment would be not to get any points during the time they are away.

Yeah i see what you mean, im also against seeding though as i think the idea of it being a random draw is good two big clans could draw each other that would give a lower team maybe a chance to progress even further

yeah im a bit of both, i don't mind which way the coin turns on this one. last time it got talked about it was highly negative but opinions can change.

That seeding looks good.

Can't seed without criteria. We have no idea which clans are the best this season.
Also, aren't cups usually done at random? Good that way- everyone has something to play for. Don't want the same clans competing against each other over and over for all competitions.

lol chris, you wasn't one to slate me

the ranking system or seeding in general? we still need a way to seed this season, of course it would be easy to seed next season but since the tables got deleted i have no way of working it out.

Arghhhhh could we not just have left TPA out as we now have the number 1 seeds (joke by the way)
