Yep all sounds fine to me!

yip go ahead everything ran good in pre-season

I agree, i think it will be fine.

Should be no problem

Also, not sure about others but I thought killer worked well with the new format

Yes i agree, killer worked out well like that. Everything should run smooth

I've come up with a schedule. It's quite tightly packed with 6 fixtures sets in total (12 league games, along with the cup).
It means that almost all teams will have 3 fixtures per set.
Is that too much? Should I extend it slightly?

This would be an example fixture set (2 weeks to play these games):

League Fixtures 1 and 2:
Anger vs Loopy
BB vs Legends
D&C vs Assassins
Allstarz vs Anger
BB vs Loopy
D&C vs Legends
Assassins vs Allstarz

Cup:
All 4 teams in group A will have 1 cup game. 2 out of the 3 teams in group B will have a cup game. Only one team from group B will have a bye.

If we go with the schedule I've put together, it will be like this almost every week.

Yes or no?

What could we do besides this? I mean if this is the best way, then i vote yes.

(Unless I've missed something), what's the cup format going to be?

Other than that, looks about the same fixture numbers as last season, sounds good to me too

The cup is just like last season (2 groups: Group A with 4 teams, Group B with 3 teams).

Top 2 go to Cup Semis. Winners from Cup Semi go to Final. Losers to Plate Semi.

3rd from Group A goes straight to Plate Semis.
4th from Group A plays 3rd from Group B to decide the last Plate Semi team. (see fixture 4)

Same as last season, except the 7th team complicates it slightly.

I've a possible alternative with 7 fixture sets. I've done it out and if I've done it correctly, it looks like mainly 2 games per team per fixture set with occasionally 1 or 3 games. I'll do it like Seb's to compare if you want

Yeah, that's with byes I'm guessing?

I've just taken the byes out by combining the two bye teams from each set.
It just depends on which version everyone wants- the one above will last about 14 weeks (including transfer window).
7 sets would end up as 16 weeks.

It is indeed with byes, just thought it would spread it out, less games at a time

Sorry, I meant the fixture format

if im honest i would like the longer format so 16 weeks has my vote

As a comparison, this is what the first set would look like with byes:

Anger vs Loopy
D&C vs BB
Assassins vs Anger
(Allstarz - BYE)

Assassins vs Allstarz
D&C vs Legends
BB vs Loopy
(Anger - BYE)

1 more team has a bye from the cup games.

2 BYES better than 1? lol

No, either there are no byes or there are 2 byes in the league.

The bye in the cup for a team from Group B is there no matter what.

For any who are confused here is how the previous fixtures would look in the 16 week season.



For the cup I put Allstarz, Anger, Black Ballers and Assassins in Group A and Snooker Loopy, Legends and D&C in Group B.(As I had an extra fixture, I put the Cup semis and plate preliminary on separate fixtures)
