No pre season games? Just a question by the way

i think we should have at least a friendly to try the water

No need for pre-seasons.

If teams are going to drop out they will anyway.

If you say so, thought it it being the first season it would be played safe and right. Or is that another thing the runners think are wrong with other leagues

I thought you would have at least one so people and captains could test out the new format and what ever else.

dark destroyers have merged with legend killers r new name is
T.R.C The ReliableS Clan

was going to add Pocket Dynamo's or Dynamos' ;) but chris is fast lol

Or even just Dynamos !!!

Saves another 2 weeks of a lack of clan league action, i'm all for jumping straight in. Only 3 new clans with C&G seemingly well established now, so not really needed.

Other league could take that risk, but then if a clan does fold it is just a lot of hassle. If people would prefer it that way then yes they can say if they want to. Better yet i will send a little post around asking.

FCL and TCL have spoken and the way they are releasing games is perfect as is FCL because it is alternative weeks like the FCL and FBL did last season.

If people want it then instead of pre season on the 27th it would be league games.

...just the same as if they pull out. So be it.

That is also true mate, you make a valid point there.

I have posted it on the FCL page and will ask people to have a look, im happy with whatever is decided. Will keep our release times different to like we spoke about.

i always think preseason freindlies are required, its good for captains checking there own team aswell as showing it to the leagues

it also helps captains and vice captains with new scoring formats and rules
just my humble oppinion

Craig posted the exact reasons why I intend on keeping the FBL Pre Seasons I feel they are useful for new clanners to get to grips with the formats and rules whilst also giving Captains a chance to test their new players.

Clans can have as many pre-season friendlies as they want to arrange and play - no problem with that at all.

But the work involved in the official setting up, and maintaining, of an average of 12 meaningless games is just not justified by the minimal benefit obtained from them.

I have to disagree Chris, I have already done all the preparations for my pre-season games, took me all of 10 minutes. I just need to release.

What you get out of it is actually quite significant, like I said before new members get a feel for the leagues and captains can try out their new players.

Also as a league runner, I can weed out the clans I feel aren't going to make it before the season gets underway and I have to rejig my schedules.

I need to check the reliability of TRC, Elite Forces and Chips N' Gravy before I continue with my season.

One of you must be admin right?
Can you get the link to the website put on the clan league page (where the links to the other two leagues already are)?
