WXV 2014 Rule Changes: Open Forum

[ossie85]

Hi all,

A place for everbody to post any changes they would like to see happen, any concerns, or anything at all.

Your idea maybe put up for a vote!

Topics include:
- Substitute rules
- Home Ground advantage
- Membership points

Anything at all...

So...

go...

[Purple 77]

Home Ground Advantage idea still good to go? The one where it is multiplied by so much?

I am still a fan of that, substitute rule would be cool. Maybe only half of the substitutes score should count, as it should be primarily used in case there are early injuries or incredibly poor performances?

[Nige]

Still not a fan of the membership points.

Yeah, I know it was said that the influence is going to be minimal, but there are/were teams that care about it a lot more than others.

Not fussed about the rest.  :P

[Toga]

What's the idea for the HGA?

As for substitute I don't mind the idea for a rule to be put into place. Would the substitute be the guy we name on our second IC spot, or just a 16th player that only counts a % of his score if one of our XV is subbed off?

[Ricochet]

Not a fan of the Membership points either. Interested to see this substitute rule though

[Master Q]

Yeah I've always thought membership points were unnecessary.

[Ringo]

Not a fan of the membership points either.  Some coaches have a lot of time to put into it where some others due to Personal commitments do not.

HGA still favour doubling the lowest score for the Home team.  Either way think there were very few results that swung on HGA over the year,

Substitute rule - This is the option that I would prefer nominate one of the emergencies as a sub and if any of your players are either subbed off or the initial sub and your nominated sub scores more than the player subbed then your nominated sub player score is taken. Needles to say will only apply if the nominated sub not required as an emergency replacement for late outs.

Well, isn't the excuse of "some coaches can't put time into their teams" their fault because they have more than one team? Obviously their are some real-life stuff that interferes, but is updating your team every day that hard? You rack up the points hence advantage very easily.

I bet myself, CF and other sole coaches without other teams are on the top of the tally.

[Toga]

I don't mind updating teams and that kind of thing but I find the membership poll very hard to do much with tbh

[CrowsFan]

The membership poll is only a miniscule way on how you can earn membership points though

Yeah I guess that's true mate. But Ringo's case is different. He runs an entire other comp by himself, that takes plenty.

Yea but some of us cant do graphics which get you big points.

Not a fan of membership points at all.

This is true, and occurred to me when I posted that. Would be hard undoubtedly, but there are ways to at least keep up, like posting your team before Friday, updating team scores once each day on Friday-Sunday, and, if there is time, having a game review once in a while. If anyone did this, they would keep up and even overtake other clubs.

There are plentiful other ways to get points, and a certain type of Graphics, like for a team squad, only gets you 5 points extra once, not every week.



Just saying there are heaps of ways to get them.

Don't like membership points either.

Know that Purps and I always manage to update thread (most weeks) and lodge teams but do not have the time for Graphics etc that others do. That is the point I am making as to why I am not 100% in favour. Do not mind bonuses being given for points but just think it needs to be level for all. A few things for these points are a little uneven imo. eg Points for the first to lodge each week some are working when it opens and do not have the chance to take advantage.  Just one I am quoting. 

Maybe needs a revamp slightly to ensure fairness to all.
