BuzzerBeater Forums

As suggested by whitemaggot it is a good idea to have a seperate thread to organise season two of our PL seeing as finding almost anything in the main thread is close to impossible.

First the rules: to save time I have copied and pasted them as typed by abigfishy

2 divisions of 16 clubs each

15 week premier league style season no finals

at the end of each season the top 4 teams promote and the bottom 4 demote

for next season teams will be drafted into the two different sides with the draft order determined by the existing teams in their pl forums but koop and yoda get final say

the first 7 teams picked in each side go into div 1 and the next 8 picked by each side go into div 2

While this is an individual competition it is also a team competition and all clubs will be drafted to join either the XBB or the IV.7 sides. They will then help their respective sides in the team competition.

Prize Support

At the end of the season we will determine which team XBB or IV.7 has won and a random member of that winning side will recieve 3 months free supporter.

At the end of the season we will create a list of the top 10 MVP candidates. A random player from that list will be chosen and his coach will also win 3 months free supporter.

Even more may be on offer. Iwen made this post on 31/7/10

I'll also offer 3 months supporter to the MVP winner, 6 months if the MVP is from the team that wins the league, and 1 year supporter for the winner of the next PL. All from my own pocket.

So that means that there will be 4 prizes potentially adding up to 2 years of free supporter. All this for playing in a PL!

Now onto the signup. First I want to state that the aim of this PL was to create a fun and friendly league with managers who liked to chat, post on the forums, maybe boast a little bit (SAS, Xerxes...) but get on with a happy rivalry. It was not about pure power. We have no interest in a team that will just come in, dominate, not talk and wreck things for everyone.

Our target is teams from Australian lower division II or upper division III. We will make exceptions but that is our aim.

Obviously our exisiting 16 teams get priority for resigning although we cannot guarantee that they will be in our division I (from now on I will be calling this division A to avoid confusion).

These are the current teams
1 SASTROOPERS
2 Koopasaurus
3 Da Fat Boy Slim
4 Melbourne Goldfish
5 Chelsea Seagulls
6 Viral Infections
7 Maggots
8 Vis Maior
9 Cowboys From Hell
10 Eggplantpopolopolous
11 Persepolis Immortals
12 TeamAkuma
13 jw all-stars
14 peaceNroll
15 Possum Chasers
16 Aussie Hammers

These are other teams that have expressed interest - note none of these are confirmed in yet

Zazzocalypse
Western Titans
Kynlala Knights
shepparton shooters
amos rogues
Home Axis
Slam !
Massive Ballers
Rampaging Marmots
The Pwnage (not 100% sure)
Beasts Red


So even if everyone is in we still need 5 more teams, especially 5 more division B teams, so ask around your leagues. Promote our PL. If there are active managers in your league, have a chat to them and see if they are interested. Spread the word. We have ages until the next season starts, about nine weeks I think, but people need to organise their other PL committments so that they can be ready to start at the right time (ahem Possum Pete this means you).

put me in

Hehe count me in, on time this time - Unless people like getting held up a week? I'm easy either way... ;pP

I'm happy to honor that, but seriously, if you are crazy enough to get two years supporter you better frigging play for two years.

How's MVP going to work?

Well no final decision has been made but I vote for you doing it the way you suggested. One interesting thing to do would be to take a round this season and do it too see how different your results are from the ones we currently get.

The odds of anyone getting all 4 prizes are very, very low.

I'm happy to, under a couple of conditions.

1. Neither my team nor player can win me the supporter prize, regardless of standing. I will award the prize to the runner up if it comes to that.

2. One of the admins of the PL audits my decisions to ensure fairness.

3. All discussions related to points awarded stays in the forum. Any bb-mail related bitching will result in me disqualifying the sender from prizes. If there's something on your mind, open it up to discussion for everyone.

Anyway, count me in. But no prizes for me. :)

I'm happy for you to be part of the PL and doing the MVP if it does not involve too much work for you.

I reckon its awesome that you and yodabig are putting your hand up to offer prizes for the PL, its a really kind and generous thing to do especially in an environment where you do not personally know the other members.

The main thing is to get the next PL started as soon as the current one finishes, if it comes to two PL's thats great, if it later turns out to be australia's version of big boys banter, thats even more great.

And with the two different teams, it can even become two different conferences like the big aus 8 and the great aus 8 instead of XBB and iv7. cos im pretty sure further down the track the current members will be relegated or move on to other things. the new members will be like "wait a minute, why am i in XBB when i dont even know what it means."

aus 8 and the great aus 8 instead

sound great but we probably dont want it to resemble regular league...

how about NSW vs VIC? or west vs east

Count me in :)
