Guys,
We are planning on commencing the 2nd league of the season on Sunday 30th September 2012.
But we have a bit of a dilemna in regards to the structure. We have two options that we have seen can work quite well for our players.
Option A
Keep with the regions format that proved a huge success during the first league, meaning 13 teams will compete each matchday for the 3,2,1 points system. We would look to keep/recruit captains were necessary and players would be asked to participate for either their local or hometown region.
Option B
Follow the smaller team format used in the succesful National Online Cup. In this case, we would have teams of between 4-6 (with only the top 4 scores counting). All players would earn points from 1pt for last place, right upto maximum points for the winner (max score being the number of runners). The top 4 scorers points would become the teams matchday total and that would be added to their running league total.
Whichever option we go for, the league will run for 15 matchdays, finishing in early February 2013, with added value seats for top teams and top individuals.
So, over to you. We need some quick feedback over the next few days as to which option you would prefer. If you say nothing, then you"ll never have a say.
We"re not putting it to the vote, but we"ll use the feedback as a basis for a decision.
All I would add is that we would like a competitive league that is well supported for existing and new players alike.
Many thanks,
Leigh

A would be good.

Option A with the same rules as before is almost certainly two league. Wales Vs Scotland for 1st and second and everybody else for third. Perhaps we would be surprised but I don"t see it being much more than that. I personally actually have no interest in playing in that again. Maybe removing the rule that players from all over the place can play for these "regions" if they claim to have been born there or to have once owned a sheep. Players should have to play for their local club, this has always been my belief.
Can we have captains and an NFL draft type system to select the players that could be cool and should create much more equal teams. Don"t know how logistically possible though. Or some other non-regional approach?

Not too bothered about wales and scotland having more people. The populations of most of the areas were the same so if they manage to get more players then that is credit to them isn"t it.

If you were only permitted to play for the region where you lived, then yes, that would be fine. That wasn"t the case - people could, basically, choose which region to represent regardless of where they lived.

Not completely true. The choice was where you live or where you were born.
