Hi Pras, this looks like a fun concept. I won't add a team until I know I definately have the broadband installed again. Then I am not committing to anything I can't keeep up to.

Assuming all goes well with the broadband, my next concern is which of my current teams should I retire...hmmm tough call there!!!!

Well my High Elves have been submitted to this league now (just waiting Pras to confirm) but I know he is keeping me in suspense deliberately Smile

Should be a real interesting type of play here.

I have a question though. Are the links permanent between seasons? i.e. do the linked teams build up a history together or is it rotated on the basis of the teams TR/TS each season?

After several seasons that maybe interesting as you may well see the results of better performance paired with a particular team Question

Also, do we get to choose the team we are paired with or will the be assigned?

I think it would be interesting to have alternating seasons and tournaments where the season pairings are the same but the tournaments are random! Would make for interesting interplay between coaches, especially where your opponent in the tournament is your partner in the regular season.

Just a thought.

Well, the idea is to match pairs so that, overall, chances are about even.

So, I may well have a pre-season draft, where the lowest TR of the bottom pair chooses a partner, then the other chooses, and so on, up the league until everyone has been assigned.

All in the spirit of fairness of course!

So, what's up with the League? We need more teams? What's the timeline?

And so it begins...

Just to make it clear to all concerned- there are no limitations or guidelines fouling or etc in this league, right?

Jaawi! You got away with "mast mounters"? Wow, you're my hero! Laughing

(Grats on the win, too, tho' I'm not sure who gets credit for the dice! Hey, coulda been worse- no SI's or KIA's! Not even a BH, but by the way the KO's didn't return, not sure that mattered.)

(In round robin, there is no need to for any magic "even" number...)

We've only just started- not my decision, but I'd vote in favor of it. (or starting/splitting into a 2nd division?)
