I don't know which ABBL teams said they don't want to play each other but I always don't mind to do so. I actually get to test tactics and learn about whether or not the tactic is viable at ABBL level rather than losing a league game to test it out.


That's a good point, maybe we should actually ask the ABBL teams if they mind playing each other?

Does any ABBL team not want to play other ABBL teams in the PL?

They may be willing but they will definately not put in their best efforts imo.

Surely we should just ask them?

The reason the ABBL teams were split into the North and East was because the ABBL teams previously stated they didnt want to be in a PL where they were basically competing against 7 other teams they were also in the league against, hence they were split 4 and 4. As Matt has pointed out, is that still the same PoV, or have they changed?

The side effect of that, is teams in div 2-3 are now not happy that they can not compete with the ABBL teams.. Solve 1 issue, create another!

To me, being in the bowl isnt about winning, it is simply about being part of the great aussie community. I couldnt care less about winning the PL, doesnt get me anything, except the odd brag rights..

Agree with what you're saying. Thats why I think it might be time to completely mix things up and try something new,

as an abbl team 4 the next week i dont mind playing against abbl teams

but the problem was that the top league would ONLY be abbl teams

4 example this season we would have had

Chelsea Seagulls
Black Label Society
Guanzheng Goldfish
Chumunga
Billy Hoyles Boys
Bell Park SuperCats
Lewisham Wombats
Whitebeard
Koopasaurus
Baxter Bogans
Monkey Business
CROCKERS

that isnt playing an occasional abbl team that is ONLY playing abbl teams & it would put some people off

next season bogans & i r gone but probably Pancakes with Jam and Cream & Slam ! will be up

but if every1 in the abbl really doesnt mind then problem solved - as well as the couple of d2 suckas that get put in that division

There doesn't necessarily have to be an ABBL division, but it might just open the door for looking at a few different league structures?

yes

my whole team is posted in the fed so every1 can see all their stats

also my economy

& my weekly training

& my plans 4 next season

& how much $$$ i have

would u want ur rivals 2 know all that about ur team? sure put u @ a disadvantage

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

other proposal 2 add handicap points

i just dont think that works psychologically

u lose the game but tell urself u won

on the ladder u r last but actually u won 6 games, or was it 5

doesnt work 4 me

Aren't there other ABBL teams in your fed?

I'm thinking bigger picture here - having a more active federation is surely more important long-term than your ability to post the skills of all your players?

I don't like the idea of adding handicap points either, but that wasn't what I was proposing.

Good to see this had generated some good discussion though.

I've played other games with private leagues where you can set restrictions on the private league. For example age restriction. So the BBs could easily add something like that to the private leagues. Age restriction, player salary restriction, total salary restriction etc...
