wow i didnt know this either!

shh bainsy! there was no agreement.. i selected my lineup from my last scrimmage not my last league game by accident remember!!! :P

You should write a book.

Oh yeah ;)

You should give back those burritoes.

Word around is that you don't have all 98 flags.

I would suggest the Dianella Big Cats!

but, upon checking, Crazy hasnt signed in since 27.7 and could be going bot! this is a disaster for the Aus community... And how will Scotland cope? No team in history has spent as long in div 4!

(except Gisborne Gladiators...)

Some people sure do love paying out on him, has he actually done anything to warrant so many snarky comments? Did he actually abuse or offend anyone?

Haha you have real secrets? Seriously? Have you discovered an age-reversing formula and don't want to share it with anyone? Maybe if everyone wasn't so secretive then more people would contribute?

Creating a fishbowl federation will surely increase activity, as it would be about more than just the PL itself. Having managers that aren't currently playing in the PL contributing to the discussions in the federation would be much better. I can't see any of that really happening on a random league forum.

The biggest problems I'm seeing here are that the ABBL teams don't want to play against each other, but they are too good against the majority of other teams. You can't really have your cake and it it too I'm afraid. If ABBL teams want to be part of the PL, it's inevitable they are going to play each other at some stage. At least they can do it without worrying about injuries, gameshape and training like in normal league games.

If the structure is done properly, you can always have a PL of the teams that didn't progress playing at the same time, so no one has to wait too long without a game being played. Maybe we could look at some kind of overall ranking system, where guys gain/lose points for winning or losing games and run it over the course of a few PLs. That's where the handicap could come into place, rather than making ABBL teams sit players out, maybe they have a handicap applied in the overall ratings?

sorry bainsy :D

I can't even see my flags because I'm no longer a supporter. Dammit, can I have free supported for a day to prove that the burritos belong to me?

...or maybe they have to win by x amount, instead of just the score. Each division higher is 20 points or something like that.

I believe most dont wanna play against a team in their own league. The ABBL is has fewer teams, therefor they will at least get one other team they must play against. They just need to suck it up.

However, if the PL were to end around asw, then that will give a chance for managers to put their league plans into place and not worry bout playing another team from their league at a time of the season when things get more intereting.

Also, teams in lower divisions may, or may not get smashed by teams that are higher then them. Fact is, they should use it as a learning curb, therefor making it more interesting to see where they stand compared to different teams in different leagues.

No need for a re draft, just kick out those that add the least interest in these forums. If they want to rejoin, then they will offer their services once again.

Purhaps a restructure is needed. Less teams may mean more people wanting to get in. The selection process may have to be very strick. A league filled with potential candidates may need to be formed. However, if we are about the fun factor, that may be a little too harsh. Still, it don't mean it wont be fun. It will however let you guys know who is willing to put in the time and effort.

Purhaps there could also be a relagation system, where as the winners of the qualifying group get promoted, and those that didn't try hard enough get demoted or something along those lines. that would mean an adding another league full of potential candiates. That would also help newer guys compete and help you guys decide whos right.
