2012 League Discussion

[gamerman01]

I’m hoping you don’t have 4 players with 14 games or more (OBG won’t count if he doesn’t come back) so that there is only one playoff, because no, you can’t change the rules now.  I think you should be in the same playoff as everyone else.  If you’re not, I for one will be wondering “what if”!

[Yoshi]

One point with the major league playoff is that you can play it just by giving a few games away to reach the 14 games limit…

I believe a minimum percentage of win should be required to reach it (like 50%, or at least 40%) to avoid that.

[DarthMaximus]

Okay, I see what your saying.  I guess this is sort of a unique scenerio we have yet to encounter.  In the past when we’ve done major/minor we’ve always had players with winning records qualify for both.  Whether it was people at 15-10 or something similar.  Losing OBG was kind of a hit to the major league.

Oh, and I’m not criticizing you or Zhuk, good AA50 games can take a while.  Heck I just played a rd 1 tourney game with Soul that lasted 7-8 months and only ended b/c some really poor dice.

It’s just sort of the nature of the beast, AA50 games can take a while.

JWW and I have talked about using different scoring systems and perhaps going back to the old ways where the league winner is just the league winner (no playoffs at all), but nothing is set in stone and we were just kicking around ideas.  At the very least we might just drop it down to two players qualify.  But we’re open to other ideas as well.

That’s an idea.  And something we’d have to consider.

My strategy has been revealed!

[DarthMaximus]

League games end on Nov. 1.  Only about 6 weeks to go.  Get them in!

[General_D.Fox]

Couple things Darth:

1. When can we start games that count for the next/upcoming season?

2. Maybe I have been under a rock, but has it been discussed to have a time cap on when a person has to post a move? I was browsing in the tournament forum and some of those games haven’t seen moves posted in what seems forever.

Has anything been discussed (or is it already the case) of maybe forcing a person to move at least within a 72-hour period? (Although I sometimes personally liked Switch’s idea of once every 24 hours, b/c that kept the game moving and impatient people like me from pestering the opponent.  :lol: :-D )

Read the first post of the league rules, TDJ, to find the time limit rules - you’ll like what you see

Anytime.
As long as the game doesn’t end before Nov. 1 you’ll be good for next year.  Although at this point just make sure your opponent knows you’d like to carry over.  Some players may still need games to end prior to get to the minimum.

We have a 72 hr move.   :wink:  (although it is enforced by the players not mods).  It’s a form of the Switch rule but doesn’t require mods to monitor every game and lets people play at a slower pace if they wish.
As for the more detailed version, Gamerman is right, should be on first post of league rules.

You can, at least in the 1940 League, complain about slow moving and get a judgement.  Had a player do that against me already, which is fine, IRL sucks sometimes. wink

The complainer was probably your friendly former Mod whom you liked so much.  :-D :lol: :-P

Eh, it SHOULD be two of my opponents.  Been remodelling my house and a 1 week project has turned into 7 weeks (damn nature!)

Only 1 month to go now!

[DarthMaximus]

Unstickied.

Only 2 weeks to go!

Get those games done if you want/need them counted.

[DarthMaximus]

One week to go!

[DarthMaximus]

Also, check out the Poll for G40 vs. AA50 interest.

[DarthMaximus]

One day to go.  Get your games in.

We will use the time stamo from the board.  All results will be accepted up until midnight board time tomorrow night.

Playoffs start Nov. 2.

What’s board time?
Shouldn’t you give a time zone?  :-P

[DarthMaximus]

Will go midnight West Coast.

[DarthMaximus]

Get results posted today!

@DarthMaximus:

Will go midnight West Coast.

Seconded.  Although, to be honest, I am not going to “finalize” anything until tomorrow morning when I wake up and get online.  So you technically have until then, for the G40 league.

Likewise, we’ll be finallizing the 2013 league (G40) for starting tomorrow for those who want a jump start on next year.  All the rules are in the thread, I just have not consolidated them yet.
