I'm happy to play other abblers but I haven't been up as long as most.

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...

i think next season if we calamari stay the same out of 12 abbl fishbowl teams we will have 1 :(

i got no issue with someone starting a fishbowl federation

but i cant see how it is better than the forums we have here where any1 can join in

this is the opposite of a private boys club we are public for all 2 see & join in

& how much more active does our calamari fed need to be?

again tonight when i logged in since this morning there were posts in 4 threads and about 20 posts in total

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

on the other topic the more i think about it the more i think 2 uneven leagues is just a lot simpler

all the top 12 teams in the west

then the bottom 12 teams in the east

no need 4 and handicapping & 90% of peeps will be fine with it

I do like winning in the PL games. I like the community aspect as well, but I think there should be a way to level out the playing field, even if it is just a bit.
