just saying ^^^^^

If a team had the same problems normally then the league would give them a certain amount of time to find someone with the necessary experience to take over or they would fold.
Normally within a clan someone has the experience, if not then it is better they fold for everyones sake.

No you don't cree, sorry to be unpopular again but I have read through your clan pages and so many situations you would handle totally different in 2 seasons time.
You may not like to hear it but you don't only need to put in the effort you need to man-manage, get players in and keep people happy.
Find it a bit ridiculous blaming players that are new to clans and have shown great loyalty in a lot of cases.
Again not your fault but rocketweaz and strikelucky never committed fully and couldn't take it when players left and you haven't had the experience...take it however you want but it's fact

What am I suppose to do if players point blank refuse to play their individuals then?
toluca wouldn't even reply to me trying to get the games done the other day...waited for an hour for him to reply to my personal message but nothing.
People throw their rattles out of the pram for all sorts of reason on here this is because I had the audacity to point out a latins legends player was ineligible for the FBL cup...shame on me.
Is the problem generally with individuals though, my opponents haven't got any incentive to finish them now

hahah i never got any message from you tbh lol in fact i can play you know if it helps

Eh??!! Played you in UK tourney and pm'd you straight after...no reply for an hour whilst you were on playing games. Thought it was over this straightline thing as you didnt seem that happy with me in the tourney games.
Bit steaming now but happily play you tomorrow if I know you are willing then I can finish them

i don't take pm's if u not on my friend list u can't pm's me and u are not on my list but no man ain't mad with you coz of that i forgot already and move on though i talk to you last time i play u in tourny but yeah i don't see how u pm's me

I did but all good can get that done tomorrow then or next few days, had kinda given up on it all after that seen andyw1 on and thought no point if I cant finish them but glad we're ok sweetheart
Other ones jpenny3 off 14 days and cool_dude off 6 days

I agree with you ipotalot, exactly what i was thinking. i would if made quite a few different decisions with a bit more man management skills, but like i said before? this was pushed onto me, so i delt with it the only way i could? if i was wrong? Then it lands firmly on my shoulders, and i do take on board everything your saying, and agree with you! but to have captains only with 2 seasons experience? dont think that will solve anything, i think you need ti look at the players, once signed ti a team they should be made to play their games, if not? And they get 2 defaults against them, they should be banned for the rest of the season, from ALL teams

I am not finished my games mate, won 9 out of 9 and can't even finish first, how pointless is that!

Think I can still win it mathematically but no chance really mate...reckon man_up needs drug testing lol

Not sure on the ruling, might've been last season. But if a player was offline 14 days without letting runner know they got removed. But the league badly needs updating. Quite a few didn't hit the required games.

There will be an update done (possibly today) it takes time and that is something myself and others have been lacking of lately.

That is the one thing i hate about individuals, people see they can not win it so don't bother playing the rest of the games.

Their will be an incentive for playing next season, although we are still trying to work out what it will be. Myself or Jema will post about it when we have a few ideas done.

One thing that is going to be changed is the actual frames you play in your individual game. Decided to put this up to 6 frames instead of the 5 due to quite a number of people asking about it.

there was an incentive of 10 bonus points for those who completed all games dunno if its still in effect?

if horse's footy system comes into effect then could do it like this.

Group Stage -

play each other once
6 frames
3 for win, 1 for draw, 0 for loss
top 8 (or 4 if not enough entries) go through

Quarter Final (if needed) 9 frames (or first to 5)
Semi Final 13 frames (or first to 7)
Final 19 frames (or first to 10)

if too long then...

Quarter Final (if needed) 7 frames (or first to 4)
Semi Final 9 frames (or first to 5)
Final 11 frames (or first to 6)

something like that?

Well, an idea we had was and goes like this.

5 points for a win.
3 points for a draw
1 point guaranteed (so winner would get the 5 and loser would get the one, regardless of the score)

I agree with this format, frames won should only come into play if level on points for the group stage.

yup and from Quarters you can do it seeded like this for example

Quarter Final

1 v 5
2 v 6
3 v 7
4 v 8

then
1 v 3
2 v 4

then after that if 1 + 2 truly deserved position in group stage then they won't meet until the final where they can battle it out.

would need to use half season for group stage and rest for knockout

Jay doesn't like knockout stages

Although I am less active on the actual game, I am going to be running the individuals league from start to finish this time, rather than taking over half way through. We have some ideas floating about at the moment to make the leagues more interesting and giving players a reason to get games done rather than saying theres all your opponents, get on with it.

Watch this space, will post more information soon.

I am just waiting for a draft league schedule so I can work out what I am doing.

Surely if majority want knock out stages we should look into it, rather than dismissing as jay doesn't want them?

I never said i don't want it though . As a player i don't like the idea, as head runner ill take majority.
