S4 Online National League - Discussion
Foggy:
Must agree, on face value this seems a better option than the one we are using at the moment.
It is becoming difficult to motivate yourself with the larger teams saturating the league.
AJDUK:
I like this idea too. Especially since Solent would be even further behind Walsall by this method!
I can"t decide though whether this would act as a disincentive to sign up new "random" players once a team has reached an "average" size, because each new player would mean points gained being spread more thinly. Being too big could probably be a hindrance. And not signing up players is not what APAT is about (sorry for the double neg).
Interesting idea John.

Half of the Walsall team dont score any points any how so we can give them to Birmingham if they want to SATURATE THE LEAGUE , Quality not quantity is what Walsall is about...... i fank u

Whilst I understand and agree with the objectives behind introducing new members to APAT... Division 2 has become a recruitment tournament rather than a poker tournament. Well, unless you play for one of the "big two" of course.
TheSnapper:
Though I have championed the idea of change to the current format, that change has got to be even handed and cannot be overly penal on the bigger teams.
Its going to be difficult to sell to those who currently hold the numerical high ground and tbh their successes at recruitment are deserving of some reward. That said, I do think the value of numerical advantage in the teamplay dynamic (especially at the business end) is totally underestimated.
A prerequisite for any new format has to be to allow small teams to get at least some team points on the board, how can you decide relegation places when 50% of teams have Zero points!
Is there anyone who sincerely believes that a format that allows this crazy anomally can entice the lower place teams to continue to make up the numbers.
To achieve any meaningful change.....
* Team points absolutely have to be awarded beyond the top 3 scoring teams
* Awarding points to the top 4 teams based on division 2 scores to date effects a trivial change to the scoring
* IMHO, 3 scorers per team, team points for the top 5 placed teams is a minimum starting point for improved format
