Lower to 6 v 6? Chance of a play off can only be interesting

No idea about league, but I'l be the first to complain when you decide

If you want it as close to the original why not:
2 arc, 2 reg, 2 orig, 1 carom, 1 power, leaving 4 subs

My idea would be Home and Away

Home player chooses game mode, Normal frames apply here however the Away team would get 2 points per frame since they are at a disadvantage while Home would only get 1 point per frame.

But on downside it takes Highest Break out of the equation and id rather keep it in.

I'm in favour if matts idea , with current set up as the reduction of players 2 subs isn't feasible , with 1 carom 1 power gives us a bit of leeway

I like Matt's idea too, although I don't like the idea of losing the second carom game - maybe keep the format the same but lose the killer?

Not in favour of you're idea dgen, but I am in favour of the idea I raised a few weeks ago to do with home and away (although it was Adam's first ) http://www.funkysnooker.com/thread/9111/league-discussion-thread-ii/32#741875

Where the home team captain gets to choose what players play who

I like this home/away idea ^^
It could easily fit with the format I suggested

yeah i like pirate/adam idea as well except If Pirate sends his list late he should be fined 50 points

Just an idea... What if the home team also chose which two game types only had the 1 fixture. So for example they could choose to have:
2arc, 2reg, 1orig, 2carom, 1power

Just gives the home team a greater advantage as they can play to there strengths

Agree 100% seems pretty legitimate, with only 4 subs

This is actually maybe a better idea

I like that idea too!

But it all depends what happens with killer...maybe one fixture against each opponent for killer with double points on offer?

Same here i'm all for this set up aswell

I don't like the H&A stuff as everyone should play the same amount of each game type

For killer how about just play each team once in the season with double points up for grabs? So you have the choice to play it in first fixture and if it aint done it that fixture it has got to be played in the second fixture

The other idea I thought of while I was walking home the other day (yes, really...) was along the lines of the captain thing in Fantasy Football.

When the captain sends the teamlist in for a fixture, (s)he nominates a star player for that fixture and the result from their match is doubled. In the case that the star players are drawn against each other, the score is tripled. I would add a couple of things to it...

1. In a season where each clan plays each other twice, a player may only be star player twice, once in each half of the season, and not against the same clan twice. If clans play each other once, a player can only be star player once.

2. The star player is attached to that particular fixture, not to the player for the purposes of subs. i.e.

sean_paul (*) vs whocares8x8

is now

dvz (*) vs whocares8x8

3. Killer may be nominated as the star player for a fixture, but subject to rule 1.

4. If a star game goes to default, the defaut is doubled.

Thoughts?

My favour is to see these two ideas combined:





These minor changes would be enough in my opinion. Which does not mean major changes would be out of discussion for me but gives some more time to think about.

I don't agree with the Home team getting to see your team sheet as its ment to be a secret who you picked to play in what game types, also some captains could leave out all there best players and then sub them into fixtures that would help the team out.

In this instance Adam i think the star player bonus should not apply as you have trusted that player to get the game played, so captains should only put this on the players they know will be active enough to get the double points.

If the player has to be swapped so its

Orig
sean_paul (*) vs whocares8x8
Carom
adam_147 vs dgeneratio

is now

Orig
adam_147 vs whocares8x8
Carom
sean_paul (*) vs dgeneratio

Then the star player tag stays with the person you elected at the beginning of the fixture because they haven't been removed from the fixture.

I agree that a captain could do that, but as we discussed when the idea was originally raised, we don't have any captains over here that are going to exploit the system to their own means - I mean you could do that right now if you wanted too but nobody does?

It's a secret as it is at the moment, but I just like the idea of being able to pick who plays against who, it means captains could actually do something!

And that idea sounds to 'arcadey' for my liking Adam

I don't think the star player should gain double if it goes to default unless they have made a good amount of effort (activity, messages etc) to play the game.

Defaults should be a punishment instead of a reward.

Interesting idea on the whole though

About Killer i don't mind if you play each team once or twice as long as it stays in the league as i quite like it << speaking as a player

Would Killer Format need changing?

Just thinking of things to spice it up a bit .
