So im back, for those of you who dont yet know, i am the_9_ball, and the runner of the old Straight pool Super league. Unfortunately, after a successful first season, more players joined and everyone seemed to lose interest in it and so it broke down.

But now, with a new structure and a brand new set of rules i wanted to bring back a Straight league, one that can hopefully be exciting for all!

Im calling it the straight premier league and its going to be strangely similar to a certain other premier league you may or may not know.

So the plan is to get 10-20 players in the league, and then there will be 1 fixture set per week. im thinking of keeping it to 1 frame per fixture, but im open to ideas about whether to make that 2 frames per fixture, dependant on the majority vote. Each player will play each other twice per season and the scoring will work as follows:

(if 1 frame per fixture):

i_lost_again vs dgeneratio
(30) - (39)
Score: 3-4

(if 2 frames per fixture):

i_lost again vs dgeneratio
(30) - (39)
(48) - (27)
Score = (30 + 48) = 78/2 =39 = 4 vs (39 + 27) = 66/2 = 33 = 3

At the end of the season, the top 4 will qualify for an after season Super league To battle for the Super Trophy.

there will also be the F.P cup running alongside the league.

The Bottom 2 at the end of the season will be Eliminated from the league, with the first 2 requestees to join taking their place.

The 3rd and 4th last will battle it out in a league with the 3rd and 4th requestees to join in a sort of pre-season qualification battle. I will not be allowing anymore than 20 players join and if i do not deem you a reliable enough player then i just cant let you join. but if you think this sounds good, Post to join !! and if you have any improvement suggestion even, then dont be afraid to put them forward!

Welcome back mate:

Where does the 4 come from and 78/2 = 39 not 37 mate.

Corrected and the formulae for working out the score is generally pots/10 rounded to the nearest whole interger, so 34 would score you 3, whereas 35 would score you 4, but dont wrry, overall pots will be noted and give you an adbantage over players on a similar score to you, also, forgot to mention it will be 2 pts for a win, 1 for a draw ( only if 2 frames per fix) and 0 pts for a loss

Ouch man thats harsh! wondering who wear the trousers in your house!

Yeah i was thinking that most would opt for 2, just thought that it would be a bit more premier league like knowing that you only have 1 shot at the points, but then again, points can be shared i guess!
