Lucky I have the week off... Treloar sitting our this week to rest a groin injury.

Hopefully he's back and ready to have a big game in two weeks.

I still feel almost wrong in accepting that win :-[ I actually checked the raw scores today as when I originally added them up I thought you had still won. You don't want to know how close they actually were :-\

Kudos for paying attention I suppose!

But yeah, I've got nothing nice/good to say about that rule or the reasons behind it, so I'm trying (and failing a little) to not create a scene and keep my mouth shut... it's pretty bloody hard, because I feel like I'm not getting across my true utter disgust, like someone who would.

Guess I better take the long way around and win the premiership  :-X  :P

Badgers Best and Fairest for anyone interested, it's flowering close!

OK now that we have decided to use Ultimate Sports scoring system for next year, which in theory should make my job a little easier,  time to discuss her any ideas to re-energise British and our trophies.

I am thinking of revamping the Rob Roy to have a straight knockout competition based on positions at end of Round 17 and then have a straight KO competition for 4 weeks.

Should give us the opportunity  to name team and coach of the week.

What are peoples thoughts of running a reserves competition as well.  Need to establish some rules to cover for shortfall of players to make it fair.  Maybe back to increasing lists to 48 to allow a reserves.

Any other suggestions welcome.

[Nige]

If you're running a reserves comp, just follow the Worlds model.

[Spite]

Personally I quite like the rob roy model as it is now. Happy to have the Ringo Royal KO Cup being the KO comp at the end of round 17 though.

Not keen on a reserves competition, personally I won't know I won't invest enough time into it and also we played some rounds with 12 players total, so really don't have the depth.

[kilbluff1985]

airnt you going away for weeks next year probs not the best idea to start a reserves comp this year

[Ringo]

Keep the comments coming. - Remember it is not my competition it is yours so feel free to float any ideas here to improve it no matter how silly it may sound.

Yes  KB I will be in Europe for 6 weeks in July/August next year so will also be looking for someone to keep the comp running during that time. (Leave on 5th July returning 5th August),

[kilbluff1985]

i have the time to do it but i cant even get my own teams scores right so i wouldnt trust me doing it

[Pkbaldy]

UF should do most of the scoring on its own? So should be pretty easy?

[Rids]

My 2 cents.....

After creating the UF league with the scoring format it should be simple. The squad numbers however will be where we might have an issue as UF allows 20 on the bench and from memory we will require more than that (only a little hurdle as most of the tracking will be done here anyways).

Draw will be easy to set up and you can even set up a % of game time rule in UF to help assist Ringo in highlighting the guys who might need to be subbed on and off. Another good thing will be able to track the in round match up of not only your team but for the league overall. I will be more than happy to help set up everything when the time comes.

I have asked the question about uncontested possessions and clangers and they will hopefully have those extra stats for 2016. UF have advised me they will let me know in January.

I would also think that HGA is done here. This comp is a fanfooty comp and should stay that way imo. We are just leveraging a tool to help Ringo and improve BXV.

All great points. Agree with it all mate.

In regards to the 20 person bench, if we just turn off waivers, then people will be able to pick up their players from the FA and play them whenever they want. As long as we don't pick up each others players then its all good!

Well said dude, sounds good to me.
