The 2nd National Online League of Season 6
poker_jason:
Didn"t play nations cup.
Personally think this type (B) leads to small cliques which is not what I understood to be APAT ethos. Also I suspect a few teams captains will cherry pick which will lead to a few very strong teams (great if your in them). The remainder "weaker" teams, especially where they are "put" together, would probably just drop off ater a few weeks.
I prefer option A - as DWH103 said - add an ironman to keep interest/people in.
If possible also consider regular prizes, e.g hendon mob league has monthly winners.
Also creating group A + B for larger regions is also a reasonable call (with Random allocation)
I"d play in an option A type league, not sure about option B.
Tired, so hope the above makes some sense.....

Good quote,
Like the premiere league having a limit to 25 players or with apat 20 players. This means Scotland and Wales could still have 5 teams. This could generate more payers to join the league and even new teams could join up to join the national league and merge as long as they play in the apat forum.
Years ago i played in the veterans footy league with 5 teams and now there are around 7 leagues of around 90 teams in total... get it? This could work.
Just think of a league with Scotland A & B, Wales A & B, the other national teams and any of the top national cup teams but with 20 Players for example ;)

at least that would be fairer than having 4 or 5 teams having more than twice the amount of players and gaining a huge advantage

You may be interested to know that the team "put" together from the leftover players won the bronze medals in the national cup

it makes it much harder for new players to APAT to join in.

This is key in my opinion in pushing up members as we had a fair few join up during league due to all the boys talking about the league matches on Facebook etc

There"s that Facebook again, whatever it is.

I like either format but the main thing that has been said is how to keep the interest with all teams until the last game of the season. How about after 2 or 3 games that the team (or teams) in bottom place(s) plays for double points. Unless one team still doesn"t score then it should hopefully keep the teams at the bottom closer to the teams at the top. How about also having a knockout competition at the end of the season with a handicap system based on positions in the league.
Eg.. Winners off scratch play the bottom team who have a 10pt start or more if we use format A with large teams..
Whichever format is used then I can lose gracefully at either of them... I will still be playing.. :D
