Apart from TRC you only have to look at the other 2's clan threads to see they have already played friendlies and shown reliability.

7 ballings are definitely more worthy of reward than gbs. Most of the time they come from clear ups off your opponents break. GBs are pure fluke, shouldn't have any place in clan leagues that are the the biggest challenge on the site...bad enough losing a frame to one.

lol you can't prove whether you're right or not about preseason friendlies.
Those leagues that prefer them can run them. The others don't have to. Simple as that!

If you had quoted all the debate and not just the few people against you would've got the answer or reply to your post.

I think it should just be run outs.. golden breaks out of it and 7 ballings not come into it.

This doesn't matter much anyway. As chris will tell you, the amount of Golden Breaks hit in clan games is minimal.

Super League III

30 bonus boints awarded in 44 matches so far (which is 220 individual games & approx 1320 racks).

I am fairly sure sure the highest percentage of those bonus points was for Run Outs too.

I think most of us agree there is normally a lot more luck in a GB than in a runout. What it comes down to is.....

Do you want to keep the luck factor low and let the best man win?
or do you want to raise the luck factor and give everyone a chance?

It seems the runners prefer the latter, didn't even want a vote.
Oh well, their league , doesn't have to be our favorite.

I'm wondering why would we want to go with the first choice, surely giving everyone a chance is better than let the best man win ?, its not about letting anyone win, rules are the same for everyone.

And that last line just made me lol, the things people will say if they don't get what they want.

I would go with the first choice because I think that's the whole point of a competition, to let the best player win.
If the luck factor gets too high, anyone could win it, and therefore it would be nothing to be proud of.

About the last line, no offence meant, but I guess the truth is funny sometimes

Lets be pretty clear here. Our own preferred option was to go with a format of five games of each game type with changes to existing rules and scoring from the FCL (not including any 'event' bonuses at all) to improve it significantly and make it accessible to all Funkypool members.

However, In the interests of fairness to parties concerned - and to the clans who would be taking part - we have compromised to come up with an alternate format at this time.

Who knows whether the majority will like it or enjoy this. But if people want the other, preferred, option then its available in future.

I like it, just the one little thing that bothers me, and I've been thinking, the luck factor's pretty low the way you have it.
Although the GB's raise it, every other bonus point you have (runouts, points for game types) lowers the luck factor.
I like it a lot , apologies if I offended, I do appreciate what you guys do.

cheers mate

Please can you let me have teams of eight for each match as early as possible.

Think the point your missing is that people and a fair amount of them at that don't like the GB thing and would rather see that removed. But as you said "our own preferred" it just look's like no ones opinions matter to you.

I agreed with an early post that Keith put though as i actually agree with the golden break thing, then again that is just my opinion.

Fair amount ?, over 150 TCL league members and less than 10 have posted.

I actually tend to listen though at some stage .

That is why i have set up some votes in past seasons and bumped them around to get more votes to make accurate decisions.

At least someone actually replied to one of my post where i said something on here, the other ones have been totally blanked when something is not liked.

Your editing was a little slow to.

It was an opinion anyway but i agree with the GB's being in the league as the post that Keith did made complete sense and backed up what i basically said.
