If you blew all your movements after 2 hours of the window opening then too bad imo.

you don't even get it  ::)

I would agree Ele if we just had an extra trade period for no reason but to be fair this is a whole change in scoring which changes everything from the way we traded, drafted and all. We drafted and traded for the Sportal comp. A change in comp I think deserves compensation, just my opinion. :)

We are all getting ahead of ourselves and I am enjoying the discussion.

Facts to consider are:

All we have atm are averages to go by so we are making assumptions based on the overall averages which may be dangerous but you are coaches and make the decisions for your team.

Trading will be interesting to see if players who are perceived to score well in Stadium Sports are put up for trade.

As this is a major change in scoring I will be recommending that teams that have used all movements be allowed an additional 3 movements.  So basically there will be 13 trades plus the compensation trades for lower placed teams. 

We still have to agree to Ultimate Sports being the scoring system as well.  Vote will be going out on this very shortly.

i'm just putting this out there as an idea don't even know if i like it

but if we are going to stadium sports

maybe we should re draft teams ?

flower off we are re drafting. Just cause you were handed the best team and now you have one of the worst you don't get a get out of jail free card.

piss off lez honestly it was just an idea like i said

i'm very happy with my team i'm not even going to trade in the extra period

[elephants]

Yeah I'm against that idea too. Why give Lez a chance to improve on his horrible list? :/

[Ringo]

If Stadium Sports get up will put another vote out as to having a one week trade period with additional movements due to difference in scoring.

[Justin Bieber]

Well I am just confused.

[Ringo]

Will try to to give an update where we are at.

As we are aware Sportal has shifted their scoring system to Real DT.  As Asians use this system we need to decide whether we keep DT or seek alternative.

I set up a discussion page on the relative scoring systems in this thread:

http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,89072.0.html

Most of the discussion is in this thread so the reference to Ultimate Sports in this thread may be superseded by the discussion in the new thread.

Yesterday I sent out a vote with 4 options requiring you to list your Top 2 preferences so as we can decide now on which system to use going forward.  Manual adjustments were rejected due to the amount of work nvolved and the possibility of errors.

Once votes are in and decision made there may be further votes required as well as updating time table.

Bear in mind the preseason is being worked on DT stats and is not a foregone conclusion we are going that way.

If that does not answer all queries or remove confusion please PM me or post in this thread.

Not defending myself but bear in mind it was a major decision made by Sportal not to continue their existing scoring that has really placed British into confusion.  Will be doing my best to try and work through it so please bear with me.  I am not happy with any of this either and at one stage was tempted to just walk away to give you an idea of my frustrations.

Ringo. Sorry mate. I have deleted my post to remove more confusion. After I had posted that I then saw the votes PM from you.

I received a massive amount of PM's over the weekend and it just got lost in the mix.

I think I can speak for everyone that we are appreciative of all the extra work that relates to being the admin and are happy with how things are going in a pretty difficult situation.

[stew42]

Yeah Ringo mate, you're doing a great job. Very much appreciated :)

Know this was talked about but vote was never sent out so to reiterate thought on VC score having a 1.5 weighting.
