Can't you just keep the FCL and FBL how it currently is and change the SL to be 9 frames, 3 of each?

FCL = 15 frames per fixture. (Win based league)
FBL = 6 frames per fixture and 3 frames in straight (type based league)
SL = 9 frames per fixture. (frame based league)

If phil Taylor had of hit that double 12 for a 9 darter I'd be changing my ways too the sap lol

Again

Are changes definite?

Reduce this, increase that, scrap that. What is it we are trying to do? It just looks like its a misssion to change as much as possible and just for the sake of change. It will not increase the people playing it in any big way. All it does is cause rows.

Some would say its constructive criticism. What is there to criticise? Its fine as it is. Maybe an extra couple straight games yeah, but other than that worked fine.

Not entirely true Alan. If there is a void to be filled I, along with a few others are prepared to fill it.

If you change SL to 3 of each, then you either accept it is unfair because of uneven breaks or you remove the bonus points and in doing so you remove the attacking intent of the league and it's identity. SL should be 2 or 4 frames and not more, because it is a "lite" league.

It's not an issue in FCL is it? (5 of each type)
He said no bonuses btw, who breaks isn't that big of a deal when there aren't bonus points for GB's and runouts.
His plan is to make FBL the "lite", short format, high chance of upsets league. and SL increases to 8 indiv matches, comprised of 3 frames of each type. Not "lite" at all, accurate/long enough for frame count to have it's place.

I wouldn't be against 4 of each type, but I'm fine with 3. Please, not 2!

about there being no skill in 9arcade,
Of course there's a big luck factor, bigger than any other game on here. But of course there's still skill involved. The better player still wins if you play enough games.

Id like to see the following things incorporated into fcl for next season.

9 ball arcade
Mini golf
Dog walking
Dog barking
Tournapoints
8 ball arcade
Pinball
Stream jumping

What better way is there to give everyone a chance on an online pool game

See, your taking the mickey now. This is serious and you have no tiddly winks or conkers listed. Sort yourself out!!!

Great idea Joe, especially the tournapoints one. It takes lots of skills to win a day event cause u have to sit on funky during all the day lets hope it gets implemented.

i demand checkers to be introduced.
or i will quit the clans

So is Arcade definitely going to be introduced next Season?

Also when is that aiming to be started?

Cheers.

CRAZY,CRAZY,CRAZY LOL.
And more CHANGES

One Question about FBL......
Is it fair that a draw in Straight is impossible when in the other FBL fixtures it is?

leave it as it is for ***** sake.

it all started cos some suggested the amount of players in a team should b reduced, to create more clans. as this wont happen i guess, there is no point to change anything.

agreed why 3 straight ????

Id like 3 or 4 str8, and more racks of sl, or scrap sl and add a killer league?
where we play each other in 5v5s top 3 teams play a 5v5v5 final?
Its different and people like killer.

worked when we first introduced it into the FBL many moons ago
its fun

Because as I stated above.. Keep the FBL as it currently is. I'm not suggesting it be 3 straight, but why change something that currently works.

This is NOT going to be favorable but can I suggest teams to be Reduced to 12 players Maximum for next season? Reasons are:

1. Too many teams have or are folding making a league with 6/7 teams pretty pointless

2. The amount of players available will increase and it'll be 'pick n choose' which isn't really fair.

3. Those without a team could easily be included in say another 2/3 sides - we have perfectly adequate players who can Captain.

4. Will increase competition between ALL sides.

5. The formats won't be much of an issue as sufficient players will encourage all fixtures to be played. Plus a reduced amount of players will assist with ALL team players contributing throughout the season.

6. I think CHANGE is required and NO time like the PRESENT. Scrap the Arcade inclusions and let's have a more suitable and FUN amount of teams contributing to the WHOLE clan environment than just a minority.

7. Players are loyal and will continue to be - a team releasing 3 or 4 of their current players won't stop that nor hurt their own team. Some have already expressed a desire to quit clans so makes it easier to achieve 12 as the max.
