    I think you should go ahead and let those people pick as it will speed up the process and mean you arent waiting on 32 names next weekend which could be a problem as if one person doesnt pick a team in time all those after him have to wait aswell.

    Some how, i dont think you are in the championship :rolleyes:

    I finished 15th in the league so I take it I am in the Championship. It would be great to pick the teams now to get some practice in and as said above I am sure it will help you with the administration.

    The problem with allowing the Championship teams to choose now is that we are still awaiting the new players to finish the league. I cannot let half the league choose now and the other half choose Saturday! It would be a major disadvantage to them as they are going to be stuck with weaker teams from the get-go.

    It's only a few more days guys!

    Aren't the new players not getting last pick as it is?

    I thought that first choice goes to the championship players from last season and then the new additions get their choice, then the premier league players from last season get to pick and then the new additions in that league get to choose last?!?!

    I may have read the rules too fast to take proper notice on this though!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,906 ✭✭✭✭whatawaster


    Do you know how many from the qualifying league will go into the premiership and how many will be in the Championship?

    Have to say I'm with Mr. Moon on this. I'm very confused how this will all work out.

    Half the qualifying league go into the championship, half to the premiership? But how are you going to determine if player A from the premiership is better than player B from the qualifying league?

    I know what number my pick will be roughly, but just out of curosity sake, it would be interesting to see how you work it all out. :o

    Right.

    Most people played for 6 weeks in Qualifying Season 1 and we have a very accurate final listing of players. At the moment, 11 go the Premiership and 11go to the Championship.

    With so many new people wanting to play in season 2, we had to run a small league to get a good idea of who is who. However, I stated that once these people had finished the league and had been divided into either the Premiership or Championship, they would have to choose a team AFTER all Season 1 players had chosen their team. It's almost like a tax for arriving late and not having to propely qualify, but it means you get into a very well-run league full of players who arent idiots.

    There is no way I could incorporate these new players in the official rankings from season 1 as there is no way I could compare players from each league (as Y2J has pointed out).

    I will post the final standings list later today so people can see who gets first pick. The list was based on final league standing, % wins, number of games completed, head-to-head games and a number of other factors. And it took me an age :)

    Y2J, at the moment, you have pick number 11 in the Premiership, and depending on the final number of Championship teams, that will mean you will have pick number 27-28 overall.

    Cheers mate, this seems very fair to me. Just wondered out of curiosity.

    Sorry to make you type all of that out, lol but it makes it very clear for everyone. I'm sure it took ages to work it out and quite a few A4 sheets dotted around your pc, but everyone appreciates your effort, its been well run so far, and the fact that you are always around to answer questions really does help!

    Ouch! Seems I have escaped well. Only got one RROD in 25 months so far.

    Only God knows how, I had it stuffed onto a shelf with a back and two sides and a top.

    "Do you keep it in a well ventilated area?"
    Of course Microsoft.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,618 ✭✭✭Mr Freeze

    Most people don't realise how much effort goes into organising something like this but future guy has done a great job, well done :)

    Why the mars bar?

    I should be able to play in the league anyways when it starts, as the lad next door has an XBOX and is on live so i can play from there till mine gets back if it is indeed dead.

    +1, Couldnt argee more with MR MOON. Great Job by Future guy!

    Watching Little Britian last night. There's a sketch where a posh man orders from a restaurant and says something like..."I'd like some stiped Bass with artechoke and a side of grated brie, a bottle of your finest Merlot. And a Mars Bar". Funny.:)


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,237 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy


    I had a good think about everything, and I feel that it would be too much to get people to pick all teams at the weekend.

    So without further adue, I would like to begin the team selection process by starting with our rank 22 and 21 players.

    Rank 22 -
    Boards Name: Batesy
    Gamertag: BATESY2007

    Rank 21 -
    Boards Name: CKWPORT
    Gamertag: The Batman IRL

    All team selections MUST be PM'ed to me. Please pick your top 3 teams and send them to me. Once I have received these selections, I will move onto the next group.

    Rank 21st! Ouch!
