I had an idea for a league.
Basically it's an open league where coaches create their own stable of 3/4 coaches. Each coach has one team. Play against as many opponents as you like in a months period. Stable with the most points at the end wins a trophy/logo/etc.
Each stable could have a theme if wanted. What a great place for a 'Team Fantastic' bash heavy stable. What about an all elf stable? Or a fling stable? etc. This opens it up for fluff and smack talk. A league stable perhaps (WIBBL stable, OBBA stable, etc.)
Just wondered what people's thoughts were before I invest some time in prepping it. Do people have other coaches that they would want to buy into this? Or 'single' coaches could be adopted into a stable that's short of members.
So...
How big should the stables be and is it a goer?
Cheers

I like the idea a lot but I don't like having to play in a league and schedule games.
with that said, I'd say 3-5 coaches is a good amount. Easier to track. |

Yep, that kind of stuff. Trying to link different areas of fumbbl could be fun. |

being in the black hole of time zones known as -8 GMT, the few times I've had to schedule games for DOTP or for Brawls/Smacks/XFL, I've wound up having to play at work during lunch.
Its both kind of - I hate the negotiation of a time because ultimately this is a hobby that doesn't take precedent over other stuff in my life and because when I finally do negotiate a time that works for my opponent it's not at a time that will allow me to be a good opponent to the other coach.
In a bigger picture, what do you think the absolute minimum number of coaches would be for this league to be successful? I'd say 32 is a good starting point with 4 people per stable and a few alternates just in case. You'd probably want to ensure a psuedo-robin format like the NFL has. |

Initially I just had open format. That way there (hopefully) should be enough teams to play at various times. Fingers crossed you could pick a game up at some point in your time zones. I know how limited it is for you as we have been drawn when I have been up crazy times in the morning. I would agree that 4 coaches per stable would be good so that would be a minimum of 8 stables. That would require a lot of interest to begin with but do-able.
The idea was to be able to hopefully pick up games when R and B were slow of if people were in the mood for something a little different.
A little like 145 club organises their games. Message thread or straight pms. |

That's a good point - this would be a fun and inspiring way to do pickup games and also maybe...relieve some tension? Call out one of those forum loudmouths such as myself and give them what for. |

I think in open format you'd need to have a scoring system not dependent on games played. Something like best 20 results min 1 per coach for example. |

Yeah good point. I think the scoring system would need to be well thought out. |
