DanielNegreanu 141 Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 I'd actually like to go with Saturdays also frankly, I think it's a better day. Also, we could even play three games on Saturdays and make the season have more games. A 15 week season with 3 games a week is 45 games.... just a thought. Link to post Share on other sites
nutzbuster 7 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 4PM start time sounds good, rescheduling is available if both opponents agree.Also, I think we should try to play 2 games per week. Like mcpickl said, if you start out 5-10 or something like that, imagine how tough it'd be to play out the remaining 10 weeks.Like this idea too. Times can/should always be negotiated and adjusted when/if scheduling issues arise. Everything else Daniel suggested sounds great.so for my vote, I have no problem either way. peace!

The only person this may hurt is sleuthis, but I bet he can deal or get some help with the league. Link to post Share on other sites

alf13 0 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I like all the suggestions made by Daniel. EXCEPT the 1600 to 1400 advantage...that advantage means nothing. Link to post Share on other sites
gilbertology 0 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 How about those who cannot play Saturdays have all their games scheduled for Sundays, and they notify the league of this before the season. Link to post Share on other sites
copernicus 0 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 If it goes to a 25 game season then 2 games a week will keep the interest up. Also a 1 game lead for playoffs is better than the chip lead idea. Link to post Share on other sites
sloshr 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I prefer Sundays to Saturdays. It is more of a lazy day for those of us who work. How about playing half the games on Saturday and half on Sunday? I like the 4PM EST start. People will reschedule anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

How about playing half the games on Saturday and half on Sunday? I like the 4PM EST start. People will reschedule anyway.Agreed. There's too much going on with Saturdays. For the players who grind for a living these are the best nights to make money.I dunno...perhaps it's just me but I don't think there's that many things wrong with the league. The feedback has been good so why not make minor adjustments instead of an overhaul? Link to post Share on other sites
WKTSWAY 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I agree with the changes except the 1600-1400 advantage and changing to Saturday. For one I work on Saturday, but I think Sunday's are better days in general. I also think just having a start time at 3 or 4pm and then the teams can change if needed is a good idea. We need to have a start time or some teams wouldn't be able to find a time to play.Another question, when would the next season start? Would it be a year after this one started or are we playing more than one season per year? Link to post Share on other sites
Vatche 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 yes yes yes, ive been complaing about the 10AM games all season, theyre brutal...i love the idea of having all the games at 4pm eastern.i also support the 25 game season instead of the 15 game season...the teams will spread more.i also think the 7 game series with a 1-0 lead is perfect, 1-0 lead in a 5 game series is too much to overcome...

I like that idea too2. 25 games would be great. I even like Daniel's suggestion of a 45 game season - still, if my matches today were any indication, that could be a long day of HU.3. Yes, 1-0 lead in a 5 game series IS tough. I'm still reeling! Link to post Share on other sites

A 15 week season with 3 games a week is 45 games.... just a thought.I work on Saturday!!!!!!!!I like the longer season, but 25 games seems a bit much. I like the idea of the later Sunday matches. I lost every early match I played because I suck and also, I had just woken up.The playoffs 1 game advantage makes perfect sense. Link to post Share on other sites

sleuthis 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 With all the changes and rescheduling of start times during the season, I was thinking the following.It seems that teams were able to get together and arrange times to meet and play with very few problemsI was thinking that perhaps the schedule could be simpler:ie - Week 1 - Looshle vs Zimmer.........(each weeks games will be played between Friday and Monday). Teams will agree on a time to be played and will post in pregame forum by Fridays at noon EST.This should cut down on defaults immensely and should make everything more flexible for everyone.The main reason to have set times is so other teams can rail their opponents and keep the league more interesting. So, as long as everyone knows in advance when teams are playing they can rail when they want.Any thoughts on this? Link to post Share on other sites
Theraflu 1,035 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 ideai have no problems with it, as long as you think that everyone will make good. just make sure you outline a policy of when the match is if no one posts in the forum by friday, and how you go about handing out defaults when they happen.

Randy Reed 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I like it but the only thing I can think of would be with the pm's. What if I PM the team captain about playing and he isn't the one playing it, or is on vacation and doesn't get it or something. I think we should keep a start time with the knowledge that this is an option. But either way it's no big deal. Link to post Share on other sites

Basically if no time is posted by friday at noon, then I will ASSIGN a time for the match. (non negotiable)In addition several times this season, there have been threads addressed to "whomever" is playing for a team this week - and have been replied to. Link to post Share on other sites

zimmer4141 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I like the flexible scheduling, it would make it much easier especially if we're playing multiple games in a weekend. Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey16 1 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Everything seems to indicate that all the teams that participated in this season are invited back to the next season, correct.Are there plans for expansion at all, which was discussed previously? If so, that'll also effect scheduling and number of games. Link to post Share on other sites
sleuthis 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 ok - here's an idea I like - actually have always liked. I must however, preface this by saying I dont think Daniel is in favour of it.I like the idea of each team having the same number of members (either 3 or 5) with each member playing a game each week. The home team gets to choose which member on the opposing team their team members will face.I like this idea for a few reasons - namely it adds to the "team" concept of this league. It also allows for any team member who contributed finacially to his team to ensure he gets to play, and would add to the total number of games during the season.One difference in this would be that team members would have to be set preseason (however a list of alternates could be accepted in the event a team member is unavailable for a match).Just throwing this idea out there............
