Why Peru gets a bye? Mexico-B pulled out last second or what? very weird timing..

good playoff format btw
damn shame the round robin has a bizarre points over matches system.. this way some teams will be robbed of their proper place in the playoffs..

Yes a bit late now as our roster is full (9 players max is tight) but for next season if you are still interested we can work something out.

Peru gets a bye because one team dropped out and Peru never sent a lineup in time.

Still don't understand this at all. In an imperfect sample, i think score matters more than record. And this format is that because not everyone plays everyone with 20 teams and 12 weeks. So a 5-0 win should mean much more than a 3-2 win. On top of that, the winning team gets +1 point on top as well, so there is a compromise already in place.

Technically it s only 10 weeks since 8 and 9 were holiday bye. The point system makes sense,it s the same as the bwcl. But not meeting every other team makes it hard to judge its fairness. May be having the criteria on how the countries are matched up from what week to the next would be helpful? At any case, it s nice to have nation wars running again.

No matter if you win 3-2 or 5-0.. point system is great as a tiebreaker but nothing more.
if this league will continue in the next season, i think admins should make a change. It would be for the better

Actually i find i agree with you more and more. Indeed in a swiss like system a win should be more important because you play better teams than like thrashing the last teams 5-0. But what i find really unfair for both chile B and our team (neu) is that we only played 9 games total whereas every body else plays 10 (except peru, this week, but they are already qualified whereas chile b and NEU are 7th and 8th now). A bye is 3pts by the way

A bye is 3pts by the way exactly.. I made that point earlier in the week 7 topic..
if this league will get a season 2, then I really think they should change this. If they do, itl'll be perfect (sensible) league format imo
okay 3 points, good to know. Thx

Yeah, sorry you were right week 7 too. Back then the end of the season seemed far away i didnt think the playoff race would be so tight so it didnt look like it would habe a big impact, my bad.
I really hope there ll be a season 2 regardless, nation wars are cool

Uneven number of teams at certain points in the season, byes were forced.
As for future seasons, the point system is irrelevant. Real concerns are timezones, and how to make them work. Proposed idea is two conferences (think like NBA except they wouldn't face in regular season at all) with Europe/Americas being the split for regular season. Then there could even be a separate set time for the games to be played each week (another big issue) due to the small difference in timezones. And with fewer teams it would just be regular round robin and a much shorter season.

Yes i know the byes were unavoidable, i just mean it a bit bad luck that it happened to 2 teams still in the race which is also super close. (One point would make a huge difference)
For next season, may be give the full weekend to play and lineups due sunday night instead? Because now what happens is people check sunday and arw busy and pkay the following Saturday.
Also how about a tier system? Say top 10 teams become div 1, bottom 10 div 2? Conference is also a good idea. Obv all of that depends on the number of teams, hopefully a lot (more fun that way i feel).
Btw is there a bye week before the playoffs or does it start right away?
|
Division 1 and 2 would absolutely make sense if people want to take this event long term
would love to see that
