SuperLeague Season 2: Sign up and discussion

[Frozzy]

One of the integral parts of SuperLeague last year was the team-spinning.

I suspect berX won't play.

I reckon an option would be to divide the League into 1st and second tiers based on ability, and arrange the teams into one member each from each tier, either randomly or by choice.

This is exactly what I did last year.

[ricketyclik]

Oh yes

And it was good.

That reminds me of Genises I in the bible...

Frozzy gave the the SuperLeague, and it was good.

Paraphrased of course

I think we should just spin them randomly and then vote. Whenever we get a super majority that likes the teams we stop. No sense in trying to guess who is 1st and 2nd tier so to speeak.

BTW if berx don't play I guess we may already have our teams

It is for these reasons I am so adamant against arranged teams.

Last year the teams were "even" due to weaker/stronger mixes. With arranged teams this year, any balance from last year will be gone.

Better not use the word "year" I'm pretty darn sure these things take longer than a year.

[ricketyclik]

I say put the issue up as a poll!

[Frozzy]

I say we keep sign-ups open until we start. So, I agree that we randomise teams then vote

[gumpold]

How are we ever going to start if we don't close sign ups? We were supposed to have started already. If we have to refigure teams every time someone signs up we will never get this going!

Well, within reason. When the games start, the sign-ups close, as I stated in my previous post. And the people signing has declined recently.

Life is too short to drink bad wine.

Actually we aren't quite behind schedule yet. I figured on starting Aug 5 after the close of all thes polls that are out ther for the settings.

I have added some options for the team polling
per gumpold's suggestions. We have six options.

Scroll up a few to that post to see where I have

1)
2)
3a) 3b)
4a) 4b)

now....

[ricketyclik]

I can't see where you've added those options checkMate.

With respect to how to rank players initially for setting up the 2 tiered system, I'd suggest that the PBEM Challenge Ladder would be a good place to start, with some tinkering by consensus.
