National Online League - Season 6 Formats

<< < (13/26) > >>

KarmaDope:
I really like the idea of the draft, so option 2 would be my choice.

Mainly because that way then Scouse can"t moan about West Mids winning again!

Seriously though, a draft will mean all the teams will be completely different and I think the league needs a freshen up. I would go with an idea where APAT staff produce a "ranking list", but this is only available to the captains and then they have a meeting where they choose who they want.

I"ve actually butchered what I mean so here comes the tl;dr

[x] Option 2
[x] APAT choose captains
[x] APAT (Tighty prob) produce a draft list with some rankings for captains
[x] Captains get together on Skype/at a live APAT event and actually hold a draft
[x] Not liking the idea where APAT allocate players based on previous form, as not fair on friends.

Sugar_Free:
My own preference would be option 2 as it makes the team numbers even. However, I"d suggest that the teams are no longer based on the regions (I know if i was put into the Carlisle team for instance and asked to play against Kent, you would lose a player from the league coz I just plain wouldn"t do it).

AJDUK:
I"d prefer to keep it as it is but split the W Mids team back into Walsall and Birmingham. Birmingham would have won the league this last season on their own which is totally ironic given the amount of mud they kept slinging at (us) Walsall in previous seasons. I guess the Walsall players protected them instead of simply knocking them out :P I"d love Walsall to be able to put Birmingham back in their place again :)

But that"s not going to happen.

So in proper response I quite like the sound of option 2. The rules regarding membership need some work but a whole new set of APAT friendships would result. No recruitment though (?) which perhaps is a big negative.

Des, if the choice is to be driven by the membership as you say then we need a voting mechanism. Let"s square off the option 1 vs option 2 thing quickly and then we can concentrate on the nitty gritty of the rules of whichever option is chosen?

As King Kenny would say......mibbies aye, mibbies naw?

I"d miss Team Glasgow but sure the balancing over larger areas is probably the best way forwar  ???

Voting has also been suggested on the cash tour thread. That is fine for some things but, in general, I really don"t think that is the way to get the best decisions. I think the current mechanism whereby the leadership listens to the members" views and takes them into account while making decisions is a more reliable way to get the best outcomes.
