I like that rating idea. So we pick our best 11 or 12 and add up all the rating then divide by 11/12?

It could work.

The best thing is. In my best 11 about 9 of them are 17 and 18yo so there rating isnt good as yet. But there good players

At least you can train them up quite quickly when they are young.

Yep! by the age of 19/20 they will be guns! I can assure you.

That's right. My team in mid table in my league but hopefully if my team improves enough I can do alot better.

How does promotion work? I know the 1st team goes up. I think the 2nd team plays in a playoff but I'm not sure.

Im not sure either. I finished second after beating the top team twice... He finished higher than me because i joined the league like 2 weeks late when the team was 0-2 ending up making them like 12-2 or somthing like that. Only just beat me by like 3 on the RR.

So you don't get a chance to move up?

Ramanama · Post by **Ramanama** » Fri May 18, 2007 9:23 pm

Dont think so...

robrulz5 · Post by **robrulz5** » Fri May 18, 2007 9:43 pm

That not very fair.

Wonder what all the lines on the ladder mean then?

The only way you can get promoted is if you finish on top. There are 25% as many teams in the division above, so the bottom two get dropped, and 5th and 6th play off.

As far as those that get promoted there is a promotion table. Half of the teams that finish on top go straight up, while the other half play off with the ones i mentioned above. This is worked out by the teams with the most points and best net run rate.

So 5th and 6th play off to avoid relegation?

robrulz5 · Post by **robrulz5** » Fri May 18, 2007 10:45 pm

Just thinking about it I finished 5th in my league but didn't have any play off.

robrulz5 · Post by **robrulz5** » Fri May 18, 2007 11:16 pm

I was just looking at some of the best teams in the world and in England there is one player with a Battrick rating of 282,000.

How are we meant to compete with that when it comes to Cup competitions and so on?

I guess they have had the team since the start.

Does anyone know if managers who buy a membership recieve advantages?

Hey Dom, when will the fixtures be made?

EDIT:
Are we have a group A and group B like somone said in another post? If so how are we going to make it so the "better" teams are in group A?
I guess group A and B could be sorted out using the players battrick rating. Some teams will have players will very high ratings.

Maybe an average rating could be used or something like that.

Also some sides are in higher divisions than others.

If we have enough teams, we would split it up into a first division and a second division worked out at start from battrick rankings.

Then, a promotion/relegation system would be put in place, adding more spice to first division games between teams who are out of contention for finals.

What i was thinking would be ideal is 12 teams, split into two. However, if we dont get that many, we could work something else out (two divisions/conferences of 4 maybe, or scrap the whole two divisions altogether). But i think if we get 10-12 teams, the two divisions system would work well.

Fixtures will be made up when i get an idea of which way we should go. It won't take a lot of time to knock up.

What do you guys think?

Yeh i like that idea very much Dom. So all we need is a couple more people to join...
