many players in fbl carry on there run... which is very rude i think.
Right, but that's a player's choice. If people are annoyed by the time, they should quit at 35.
The game of straight itself shouldn't take this long.

We arnt all as good as you Seb.
And all clans don't have virts or pros who can play the straight games.
Though i just played against turtle whos rank is over 800 and that took about 20 minutes.

yes our game took about 20 minutes, but my next game only took 8 minutes, and I think thats the point seb's trying to make where in an FBL match, all 4 games shouldnt take 20 minutes each.

It's apparently a reaaaallly complicated point.

But hey, it does take longer than other games. That's why there's only one of them.
4 frames of Straight in a set vs 16 frames of 8US in a set. I think that's more than fair for the other types?

Oh dear lol

The additional frame of straight was carefully thought through and seb makes an extremely valid point which has now been evidenced by turtle, not every game should take 20 mins, i dont like straight and am absolutely diabolical at it BUT i dont usually take 20 mins for a straight game unless im am playing embarrassingly awful 1 x 4 frames of straight was the best way forward as it allows for a draw, gives 8points like the other types but the 1 game removes some of the weight considering the number of whitewashes last seaon. If people struggle with thetime element then split th game into 2 parts and play 2 frames per session.

With regards to the subs rule i have not seen any call for it to be changed (that i remember) but again it has been in the league for 8 seasons now with no bother so there is no need to change it. Because the fbl is based upon a type rather than a combination it is going to be restrictive. I dont think i would like a free for all however i have upped the swaps to 3 to be more accommodating

Fair enough, you're the runner.

Others and I have brought it up at least once over the last few seasons (if you really want me to find it, I will spend the time!). So it hasn't been "no bother".

I still would've liked a reason for why the rule exists though. Because it simply doesn't make sense. If you sub someone out of a straight game, he is burned for the entire fixture. He can never come back in.... oh well. your call.

I cannot give a reason for the rule when it was not me that implemented it, all I know is that it has worked, there haven't been any bumps in the road so it can stay until it does cause major issues

That's the whole point. Rules should be there for a reason. If there is no reason for them, they should go.
Do we have to create the problem for you to change it even after we've described it? Prevention!!!

It depends on what you class as issues, it has prevented games being completed so it causes a problem. There is no need for the rule and if it was removed more games would have a chance of being completed.

To try and salvage some of the mixed up teams due to the FCL not running alongside the FBL - I am happy to allow those who changed clans during the pre-seasons to change over to their new clans, as I understand there are a fair few. This is not a transfer window opening just a chance for everyone to get the teams in order.

It is a ridiculous rule. If the only sub you have is someone who's already been subbed out of a game then this rule is stopping a game from been played, whats the point in waiting for it to cause problems before you do something about it. If you can't think of a valid reason why it's in place then get rid of it.
