CW FTP Championship II

Hey Tharmi, given any thoughts to Championship III? Ash's going to make us pay for friendlies on Thursdays, and Sundays are off for cup for a few teams.

I'd be willing to pay a bit for an organised comp ($3 or 4 maybe), but maybe we should cut down to one championship per league season? Could also have division two run earlier as a sort of qualifying tournament instead of current promotion and relegation - something like this

week 4 - week 8: two division two groups of six including 7th and 8th from this year's div 1 - winners of each group promote
week 9 - week 15: main championship

This has the advantage that every team has a chance of winning the championship in any given year.

Also, challenged Blackcaps. Hopefully my batsmen can get over their getting out in strange ways to Raghav complex.
FFS where is this information, so I can read over the changes?

I still have 5 'gaming credits' as they'll soon be known, I'll use those on competitions as I'm not interested in renaming players.

It doesn't really matter what format you use, as it is basically one credit per team. I don't use naming credits and if there is a couple members on here that don't use naming credits we as group could fund the first couple seasons. I guess it just depends on whether there are other out there happy to spend on some money on it.

The other option is to wait until the Pavilion Cup is over and have a short cup competition at the end of season. Basically 16-team group/knockout over five weeks, like the first addition.

Really up to you guys.

Couple of corrections on that list: BEST Indies is 781 and Alternative XI is 1056. Could you please change that as it's much easier than going searching when collecting results.

Also, as said - I like the league format but think two leagues a season is overkill (though that may I admit be influenced by wanting to play in a friendly champions league next season), and think we'd be better served with a system where every entrant can win the league, so I'd like early qualifiers for a late Championship. Though if the division two teams are happier with the current format I won't stop them.

The issue with that is after week eight, half the sides will have no matches. Was thinking about a full league, with two matches per side and 14 rounds. If your going to pay for something might as well get your money worth.

Could have a second league with winner qualifying directly for next year's championship.
There not much difference between that and just having a 2nd division, as for most of the season they will be playing the same sides. Also it would be a bit harsh on the two sides that quailfied if a side they beat got a direct spot and they had to quailfy again.

If you want everyone to play to have chance of winning the best format is a 16 team cup, but that format can be done at the end of season after the Pavilion Cup and no needs to pay.

Quick question, how many people are willing (or can) to pay a bit each year to take part in this league? Can't really proposal a format until I know what everyone situation is.

Personally I have no problem.

I wouldn't either. Just don't pay enough attention to it. Would in Battrick though.

Swamibapa CC challenge accepted.

Edit: Just had a look at my paypal account, would be happy to give the remaining $4.62 AUD to the cause if you guys want, don't really care if I play in the league either.

Would pay if I had a means to do so, which I don't. I don't really care about the game but I throw small amounts of dollars away for thousands of ridiculous crap, at least I'd use this.

Looks like the plans for paid Thursday friendlies are fixed for next season. The plan for next season at this point is to have a 5-6 week 16 team cup from weeks 10/11 to 15. Four groups of four, with either the top side or two two (depending on when we start) through to knockouts.

Thoughts/Suggestions?

Just need four guys to play $1 per season.

Going to use this option if I there is four guys:

4 team league
- goes for 3 weeks
- each team plays 3 matches
- costs 10 credits up front if paid for by the competition creator. entry is free
OR
- costs 5 credits for the competition creator. Each team that enters pays 3 credits

- the winner of the competition is awarded 6 days Pavilion membership
- second place is awarded 3 days Pavilion membership

The we organise our own QFs, SFs and Finals on Sunday.

So the league starts on week 7 and group matches go to 10. Then QFs to Finals from 11 to 13.

Reckon thats the best solution for us, if there four guys willing to pay.

Hak, Scaly and Dwyer interested in helping out with the funds. If we get more guys that can pay then we rotate it each season or something.

Thoughts, reckon that the best option.
