Loki Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 6 hours ago, Aim Here said: The rules were that the games were voided - we're treating it as though GCarlos9 was never in the competition to begin with and it was a seven person league. Plus, more pertinently, we have a high rate of new players coming in and leaving compared to normal leagues and the league structure is a bit ad-hoc. We don't know how many players are in the leagues from one season to the next so the playoffs are to decide who gets priority at whatever next season's cutoff point happens to be, rather than a definite 'Player A goes up/Player B goes down' thing. If we definitely knew there were going to be 8 players in Division A next season, there wouldn't be a need for a playoff (AH13STU would get a bye), but we don't know that, alas. For instance, if fewer players show up and we only have a seven-person Division A next time, is it fair to deny AH13STU his chance of promotion because @Loki dropped out? (Obviously if GCarlos9 resolves the chess.com issues and comes back, he'd be a better candidate to drop down) Yeah I’m not coming back, especially since my mortal enemy Dearyme is retiring. Think I beat him once when the cup game was stacked in my favour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim Here Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 The Cup final has been played out, and to nobody's surprise, DearyMe, aka @Trogdor is the well-deserved winner of the Season 5 Madwullie Cup! Congratulations! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations! Good game mate. With that I announce a sabbatical from the league for season six. Good luck one and all, I will be back for season seven. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck one and all, I will be back for season seven. The rest of the league will breath a sigh of relief. Definitely the best player I've faced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim Here Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Okay, the current headcount of Season 6 players is 18, which is a fair few down on last season. Just to poke some folks into action, I don't have answers from @Omar Little @gkneil @wastecoatwilly . @craigkillie I'm assuming is coming back because he's playing in the playoffs. And there's @Stellaboz and @Leeds Saint who dropped out, and are more than welcome to drop back in again. And of course any new players are absolutely welcome to sign up to have a go. It would be nice if @Frank Grimes could show up and change the thread name to advertise callups, just in case we suck in a couple. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterlichtie Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 AH13STU beats Purplekangaroo89 in playoff game. Thanks for the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aim Here Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) Okay, we have 22 signups (curiously Division C winner @wastecoatwilly hasn't responded, despite already being pinged once), and it's probably not worth waiting any longer for more. That suggests a 7/7/8 league system (meaning we can keep continuity between seasons and the playoffs are meaningful) There's also the possibility of a two-tier 11-player division. The three tier system looks like this: Division A P W D L Pts AH13STU 0 0 0 0 0 AimHere 0 0 0 0 0 Arabjoe 0 0 0 0 0 beef2711 0 0 0 0 0 Board_Stupid 0 0 0 0 0 invergowrie 0 0 0 0 0 Ziggy_the_Spider 0 0 0 0 0 Division B P W D L Pts gkneil 0 0 0 0 0 markf268 0 0 0 0 0 N5_Spur 0 0 0 0 0 pleslie999 0 0 0 0 0 PnBMathematics 0 0 0 0 0 Purplekangaroo89 0 0 0 0 0 XCTR94 0 0 0 0 0 Division C P W D L Pts Basedgodsa1nt 0 0 0 0 0 Dandies1983 0 0 0 0 0 KenDeans 0 0 0 0 0 mackieboz 0 0 0 0 0 RBWatson 0 0 0 0 0 Strachanovski 0 0 0 0 0 The_kid1433 0 0 0 0 0 paakman01 0 0 0 0 0 With the 2-tier system, people will be assigned to tiers according to whether they finished in the top-half or bottom half of division B (and I'd be tempted to stick promotees from Division C into the top tier and the relegationaries from Division A into the bottom tier). Let me know if there's a groundswell of support for league restructuring along those lines. It's not too late to sign up, of course. If the consensus is to go with the above, I'll set the fixtures up in the next few days and start the season rolling.

invergowrie arab Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Not got strong views but purely personally I might win some games in a two tier system 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N5 Spur Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 If I had to pick I'd say 2x11 (2 down, 2 up, 3rd bottom v 3rd top play-off) but as per other responses, the over-riding criteria is whatever is easiest to manage for @Aim Here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
