Suggestions thread

[meatman]

This is simply a thread for anyone to give me some feedback about the competition. I have now updated all the rules etc, which had been a bit old.

Over the last few months, people have come up to me with suggestions of ways to improve or make the competition more interesting. There are some plans for a couple of different features in the future, possibly starting in EWC (V). Obviously the current format is very successful, but there will always be ways in which things can be changed, even in a slight way.

If anyone wants to suggest or say anything - improvements ideas etc, then please feel free to post in this thread. Everything will be considered!

In the history of the competition I think it has to be pointout whenever there was no show in a match by one or both parts.

Cup finalist be at least invited back to the Cup.

1) Do you mean that some people (say the Winner & Runner up) of the Knockout Cup can be invited directly into the group stages of the main competition.

2) or that they be invited back into the knockout cup. If this is the case, then they would be invited anyway because everyone will play in the KO cup, even those who fail to qualify for the main competition. Although another idea is perhaps those that performed best in the previous KO cup could enter at a later stage than others

I presume your point was option 1, but I said this just to make sure

If that is correct, then it is an interesting idea, and one which could happen.

Cheers Xcout!

Always thought as the competition does home and away games throughout you should get a little edge playing at home. Maybe a 1 point start or something. So the home player has a little advantage but not an awful lot.

yeh thats a very good suggestion Darren, it had crossed my mind before.

A bit of a worry about confusion, but it wouldn't really be too much of a problem I dont think.

This is certainly something that will be considered strongly, thanks

Sorry for the late reply meatman, I was into both cases, the primary idea was to get seed them into the main competition and also to get them into the knockout competition. In the last case just invited them to the knockout competition.

After reading your post I have a thought, your point the possibility of seeding them in later stage would make it kinda UEFA Cup or Spanish Cup, but I sense that it is better as it is (mostly like english cups) where the team has to battle all the way.

Cheer meatman and kinda late but Happy New Year!

For the finals of the competition its sort of been stumbled upon this season almost by luck because aliando is away. But how about instead of 2 legs it is just a 1 off game with each finalist making 6 selections.

And also how about for that one off final, managers can PM there choices in. That way a double selection of a game isn't discounted.

[meatman]

Cheers for the suggestions Darren

I must say I rather like the idea of a one off final with 6 selections each - certainly at least in the KO Cup. This is probably something that I will look to bring in next season

As for the PM option

no I'm not going to go down that route in this competition, the whole point is that tipsters aren't allowed to tip in the same match, yet alone the same selection. I can see where your coming from there though
