+1 to that

Is it possible to have another mock-up of how it looks when switching between scheduler and GF?

The integrated view, so to speak. If that's still in the cards.

This is a very early preview and proof of concept of a design. While there is some work going on for the actual scheduler, there's still a fair amount of work (including design) to go. I have stopped giving time lines other than "when it's done". It's too dependant on people using spare time and energy to get things completed and I don't want to create unnecessary pressure.

Words of wisdom.

Good luck to the whole programming/designing team!

Christer it's all highly appreciated. It will get done when it's done, but I for one look forward to it.

Looks very good!
Not sure how to handle old teams in the bb2020 meta, mixed with the new teams.
Black box is a good way for me to stop cherry picking in the gf...
Ready when you are

All looks great. Except for me the "Not activated [ ]" check box below the counter. That to me can be counter intuitive to some people. Don't change the text back and forth when you click the check mark, simply have it be "Activate: [ ]" and you check or uncheck.
There's bound to be someone who will think "do I click to do what the text says or is the text telling me what I've just done?". It's a half full, half empty kind of interpretation.

Secondly I'd like to voice my protest against mixing scheduled teams ("Strict" / blackbox spinning) and GF teams (hunting for 30% halfling coaches). It seems abusable and to me would give a less pure feeling to making strict teams, if I anyway get paired up with open teams.
It seems silly to want to qualify for the box trophy, but at the same time you'll be playing against min-maxed kill teams who has only played against hand-picked easy opponents in the GF to accelerate their team.
Keep the strict blackbox pure!

Or just give CR from trophyruns or tournament games ?

That way all sandboxing is just that and ranking comes from more serious games ?

All happy yes ?

No one is ever happy around here.

I thought the big argument 2 years ago was to merge R/B? So now you throw out that "picking" should be abolished.

I think this is a big step forward on FUMBBL that you are now allowed to pick/schedule a match in the C div. "We" will see after some time what survives.I suspect that the dynamic will not change that much...I do suspect that "picking" matches will decline because most coaches just want to play some Blood Bowl and will activate for scheduled matches/BOX because they see they can get a match in 2 minutes.

Side note: are we still worried about CR? IF so.....why does how you arranged a match matter?

I have never in my history on FUMBBL ran across the golden 10 game run against Halflings or Goblins to infalte my CR.

In fact...I cant even think about the last time I played a match against a stunty team in R/B....it never happens for me.

Gamefinder: team can play only with GF.

Right? If that's correct, I want to sign to Strict with all my teams from Competitive and old Box as soon as possible.


Well Matt you do what you do...you will be a 5% of Box only and some other coach...who has never actually voiced his thoughts on why he is part of 5% club of "pick" only...IMO the vast majority of coaches will be in the 90% club of doing both. I just want to play some Blood Bowl man in the C div....I dont over think it.

It's impossible to play Box-only vs Box-only teams.
So, not even 5%. It's 0%.

It wouldn't be if picking was really as bad as people make it out to be.

BBT teams are box only right?

I can understand that people might start getting fed up if they had a run of games vs teams that were pimped by picking.

Edit: I think that the option for teams to be pure box vs pure box only might actually keep more coaches playing with the scheduler.
People don't have to put it on all their teams.

Majority of coaches who moan about playing against "pimped up teams" only play tier1 teams thinking they should be only ones who play against softer teams I guess.

90% of coaches couldn't care less where oppo has played.

Might be wrong but dont think so.
