  1. 4 serperate leagues but league 1 has the better players, that way we can filter the chumps at the other end who dont play, then the serious players being in division 1 and 2. the top 4 teams in each league go up and bottom 4 gwill drop down, also works as a good way of seeding. timezones shouldnt be considered yet untill a userbase is established (snes anyway) and i beleive if you setup a structure where you contact opponent and get ideas for times it works better. the numbers in each league can be increased anywere from 12 to 20 if theres 20 in a league 5 go up and 5 go down. if people dont play a second season and drop out then players just get moved up into the empty (bud compacting) slots from the lower division. After 2 or 3 seasons with a good structure people will play ma lot more regular in the top 2 leagues then there will be 2 lower leagues for encouraging noobs to play and get better and move up .

    If each player gets 3 team picks & they dont get their first choice team they will have a good team anyway so shouldnt be any complaints.

    play eachother 4 games, 2 can be too short and leave you wanting more, and 3 makes home and away fixtures uneven.

  2. No penaltys

    They can be very random and interupt games lots of times mostly unfairly. True sportsmen like an even playing field without randomness.

    16 teams per league without divisions or groups.

    Just one big league of 16 teams, that means we can play everybody in the league twice to make it short and sweet and games will get played faster. 2 games isnt a long time to ask someone to play, but 3 or 4 games can be. Asking someone to play 2 games for 40 minutes isnt much to ask compared to 3 or 4 games when if you play someone it takes an hour and a half. people dont seem to have that much time available these days.

    Bottom 4 teams go down a league and top 4 teams go up a league at end of season.

    After a few seasons it will all even out so players are within there skill range in respective league and seperate the scrappers from the scraphounds. The top leage the top 4 players will go into a little compeition called the prestige cup. Its very prestigious the prestige cup :glare: 1st plays 4th and 2nd plays 3rd, make it short so it doesnt interupt or take away from the main league, mabee a best of 3 first round and final best of 5. This will keep excitement and something to play for, for most people than me or someone else running away with the leage title. this could be played with all teams in the league to combat this or even the top 4 in all the league play in the tournament. This would need more imput from other players, Id make it the top 4 teams in the top league just play in this short tourney. after the new system gathers momentum and regulr players we could add another cup competition for all the teams in the league, basicly a knockout competion (has to be short and sweet or it will detract from the main league) gives the scraphounds a shot at glory after being pummeled all season.

    The prestige tourney could decide winner of league or there could be playoffs, or.. the top player in the league table is the winner. unexciting but.. seems fair. (this wont gather favour from scraphounds)

    Sayings like "bingo bango" or.. "was harder than it looked" depending on the circumstances are to be encouraged. but sayings like.. "damn controller sucks" "I hate you" are to be discouraged. Depends who you play.

    Lets 'hash' a few ideas around and 'weed' out the good ones and make a few cones.. Polls!

  3. Top four teams in c should go to b same with b going to c and the bottom 4 goes down in each. and i dont see any issue with the top seeds picking there opponnants, its all done in order so its fair.. and if the bottom seed gets a pick then its the last pick, I think there should be a stand in guy playing in place of someone who is never online and has gave up. I could be this person as im always in the lookout to play.

  4. Seems like a good majority of the new players are incorrectly putting @aim.com after their AIM username

    This will be the 4th test ive done. I AIM both usernames..

    laerking@aim.com = laerking@aim.com is unable to receive offline IMs

    laerking = Lars Svenson is unable to receive offline IMs.

    Note. it says Lars Svenson!

  5. I see a problem. people are putting their AIM names as john_holmes41@aim.com for example, ive came accross 3 guys in last 10 minutes and when I add john_holmes41@aim.com its like an unknown person, I said Hi and nothing happened, then I added john_holmes41 and it says kurki 1234 is unable to receive offline IMs so.. its like 2 different AIM names, could be a problem, I tested with the other 2 and when i left out the @aim.com they were added succesfully and I usally got there display message like robbed! for example and there proper name. So.. they may need to be changed because people are going to add the @aim.com bit and it wont work and they think the other player is always offline.

  6. Its because 6 games is too much to play one person, 6 games takes 2 hours & people dont think about doing 3 here and there, theu just think of the legthy 2 hours playing time. and especially if there getting there arse kicked they wont play.
