good point

cant see why not, not hard to do

if captains aren't biased then i can't see why not, but if captains are biast then popularity comes into play, i will wait for more feedback first.

Pilbs idea topics:

Not to be voted for your own clan -

Best Clan Pic
Best Captain
Best Clan Player

In regards to the best clan player, you could do a clan player of the season but for each clan rather than the whole lot.

eg:

UT: dgeneratio
Angry: poolbiird
etc
etc

also from your own clan -

Best Player from that season

any ideas let me know.

Was thinking about the cup the other day. Maybe it needs seedings (unsure on what they would be based on). If you take last season, with GP v D&C in round 1, the loser of that was always going to win the plate which defeats the object a bit as the smaller clans don't stand a chance.

Would love to see individual league like on p**l, carom may be an issue as i suspect most of the entrants would be from the same clan *cough* FSE *cough*.

maybe limit to main 3 types then?

sorry if i am wrong but i was fairly certain that 'best clan player of the year' was constituted by winning the golden cue?

not always as people have different views, more than likely yes but on golden cue don't forget people play more games than others, and some play tougher opponents despite being lower in the table etc.

the awards thing i will only ask captains after each season.

No, I won Golden Cue but was far from the best player

kev youd be my vote anyday

There's another Globe Potter who deserved it more

well this season i think that m_wood should have won personally

I don't mean like just pick 1 player from the season who was the best, I mean each clan captain chooses who they think have done the best and the person who gets picked gets prize.

a prize as in a clip art trophy? seems to be a bit of a pointless addition to me

Well to be fair its not as if people will win a prize fund..

I think it was just offered as an idea to congratulate a player on a wonderful season.. and i think its a very good idea.

anybody want to join this!

This season we will have 2 pre-season friendlies for each clan. The defaults team will decide which clans can be admitted to the clan league after these two weeks.
Criteria will be
1. amount of games played
2. to avoid punishing clans that didn't get games done due to opposing clan's fault, the effort made by the individual players and the clan as a whole (playing time, messages, captain's efforts, subs made, etc.).

The idea behind pre-season friendlies is that we exclude clans which, in our opinion, will not be able to last the entire season. Many times, this is obvious after the first set of fixtures. We will be strict and there will be no attention paid to past success or completed seasons.
Of course, we can't predict the future- other clans that look solid and reliable at the beginning of the season may fold later in the season. Friendlies are however the only way to avoid any and every clan joining.

After the friendlies, we'll have a couple of days off to figure out details- This season's format will depend on the number of clans admitted (1/2 divisions).

Ideas/suggestions?

Right, let's settle this one before we start signups.
What should be the limit for clan sizes?
Most popular suggestions so far have been 15 and 17 players. Remember, there are 9 fixtures per week.
Both options have advantages/disadvantages. Hoping to hear mostly from captains/vice captains, but everyone else feel free to comment as well.
