So by this Lord, you saying we should have two 5 team divisions meaning teams get byes, and stuff. Sounds kinda gay to me...
How is that gay? Is this a display of your personal insecurities?

My apologies Liam. What I mean is, the idea of having byes would not be good, as in gay. Not as in man loving another man, which IMO is just sick.

Lol it isint gay...

For the number of People not posting teams per week, for getting a bye for a week is a sense of relief for some ppl to catch up and do different things..

well, it very exhausting taking a minute out of ones week to post a team. A rest would come in handy I guess :P

a rest every know and then would eb good as it would give those injured players a good rest etc.

but why not have 2 divisions of 14 premier leage and div 1 if we where to have 28 teams

If we were to have this Bugs, then the season would be much longer, as people want to play each team twice therefore there would be over 40 games per season without VB Cup, whereas now we have only 20 plus VB Cup...

with the new sim doing the games so quickly there is no reason to have say sat games and wednesday games with vb cup runs each week also say fridays


i am willing to do vb cup each week


that way u still have 2 divs and play each other twice

hmm, that would be nice, but less reports would be written i think, maybe some sort of bonus could be given (cant think of any) to people to encourage reports

Hmm, so it's OK for managers who's only obligation is to post one team a week to have the occasional breather, but the simmers who have to a hell of a lot more work are now wanted to run 2 rounds or more a week!

Spare a thought for us guys!

Blewy we only wantted to play each team twice because of the small amount of teams in each division, this season if we had only played once we would have played just 5 games in each form of the game.

If a bigger leauge as stated by Bug's was intorduced iam sure alot of people would be happy for just playing each other once.

I think I agree here! Moreover excess of anything is bad.IMO its best to have 1 round per week.

If we are going to have a culling of teams then I would go further than just 2 and cut it down to 24 (4 x 6 team divisions). 30 at the moment seems to be a stretch. There is a revolving door at some teams. The other thing is if we are happy to maintain that revolving door then keep it at 30.

With regard to the draw, for a small number of teams in each division we must play each other twice. For large numbers once would be fine. One round per week is ideal. It seems to me that there would only be one simmer with this new program and we don't want to load them up.

I iwll say this, next season there will be a change...

VB Cup will be run Mid week, It will have its own simmer and a change of Format...

But as for running 2 league rounds per week, will not happen its been hard enough over recent weeks to get managers to submit 1 side, let alone 2 per week...

Also if we did have 2 leagues of 18 or whatever you would find alot of people who lose interest more over the season especially if it got to a stage where they were out of promotion/title race and also clear of relegation/spoon race....

just a few things to consider....

28 teams is a piewalk.

4divs of 7.

Only have 7 rounds of games per league...

the team that has a bye will play a team who is also having a bye in another division. (possibly a VB cup game?)

EASY!

The reason that managers are losing interest is the season is too long... 30odd weeks a season (no wonder people are leaving midway)
