No. On reflection, the current cup format works well and... with a league split in place, the random nature of the draw (3-way ties) may be resolved by introducing seedings!

(No youth team entries though - it'll be bad enough getting beat by WRK without having to put up with the WRK Colts getting an entry) Aye, no desire to be beaten by WRK's younglings either. Bit of a clusterfuck having 27ish teams in the league. We could have it that the top 10 in the league (at the point the cup is drawn) qualify automatically... the other 17ish teams go into 6 x 3 way ties to see who goes into the 2nd round. But at the point, I wouldn't seed it.. it's not like we've got sponsors trying to keep the big names apart in the early rounds. Jesus. When did this get some complicated? Just remembered... need to put together a quiz for the final. I think I might plunder the resource I found last time .. .their quizzes were great, although they weren't multiple choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Why not base the Division split based on average points of last few weeks. Cup should remain on all-in open draw with no seedings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hmm not sure about this. I can sense that the "Big Guns" are itching to form some sort of breakaway professional set up. An Atlantic Daily Quiz if you will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to take the rest of the quizzes for this week, you can join our burgeoning league! http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/mind-games/quiz-archive As for me. Knew 5. Got 5 right. Got 5 wrong. A truly 5 star performance. Thanks Cardinal. Already do two online quiz leagues daily (2020 and Learned League) and sometimes it's tough to find time for those two. Will try to have a go at this daily from now on though. I'll give the quizzes from earlier in the week a shot later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a radical idea...have two leagues but decide who goes where by drawing the names from a hat. I think it could lead to an interesting few weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm beginning to feel a modicum of empathy for Stuart Regan and Neil Doncaster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
