Well we could have two 4 team divisions, but that might feel a bit lame. One big division might be harsh for some teams, but more diverse for all.

Would a new TV1000 division be totally out of the question? I can't really see how we could blend together the teams we have participating atm.

[J-Reedy]

Here are the options that come to mind in no particular order of preference:

A) 1 division w 8 teams in 1 group
- potentially punishing for lower TV teams
+ lots of games
B) 1 divison w 8 teams in 2 groups
- less games
+ groups could be evened out according to TV
C) 1 division w new (TV1000) teams.
- coaches w experienced teams are not rewarded w sticking w their teams
+ even playing ground, lots of games

With the two group option (B) I see two possibilities for playing around with the groups:
1. Two groups first play against the teams in their own group and then playoffs could be between all the teams with A1-B4, A2-B3, A3-B2 and A4-B1. (at least 4 games for each player, max 7 games)
2. two groups first play against the teams in their own group and then the two top seeds from both groups (A1, A2, B1, B2) form their own "champs" group who all play against each other while the bottom two seeds (A3, A4, B3, B4) form own "well, we made a go for it" group who all play against each other (at least 3+3 games for each player). If I understand correctly how the league settings work the first part of this would have to played within a new feeder division and the second part could be the traditional Valhalla and Ulls divisions.

OK, have to run now, weekly board-gaming evening starting soon. Will write in later with some other thoughts.

Continuing on the previous message here. In my opinion the most important factor in maintaining the TV differences in the league at tolerable level is to keep the amount of games teams play on equal level. More games means more spp potential and 5 sure spps for the MVP. In current situation the playoff teams get extra games and therefore they have the potential of boosting their TV further while the out-of-playoff teams have their TV stagnant. I understand that more games also means more possibilities for deaths and minus stats but for most (high AV) teams the possibility for gain is worth more than the risk. Therefore I think we should try to even the number of games teams play by organizing some extra games for out of playoff teams (playout games?).

As to the next NUL season, I'm open for all options. I would like to give the Kittens one more go and try to get redemption from those nasty NattBowlers  ;) but new teams are also OK with me.

We could also think about giving the coaches possibility of operating two different teams on different league levels i.e. coaches with old teams could start fresh teams and play them in lower division while their old teams play in the higher division. This would of course only work if enough coaches think they would have time and interest in this kind of system.

Well, I'm out of ideas now. Any more ideas or feedback, anyone?

We could do brand new league with brand new teams so i guess we would get like 8 ? and of course we could continue other leagues with 4 each too which i would like to. I mean im okay if i play at ulls if i have to. I mean i just would like to play.. we should get quite lot of games with this too.

[Mr B]

Well, I am in for anything really.

We could pause high TV teams, and so we can get a better lvl TV wise all over and start a 8 team division.
If we like that, the teams that paused are of course welcomed back when the other teams has grown a bit, so to speak.

But then on what team level shall we say is good enough?

Cheers!

That sounds like a nice thing to do.
Then when the teams has grown a bit, we can continue Valhalla cup and of course Ulls.

I'm all for starting fresh, although I'm go for any format as long as I can count on getting a game per week  ;)

[Konna]

Starting anew gets my support also. Can't say I'd miss the brutalised brothers too much. So promising start with three +MAs and so dissapointing meltdown of deaths and injuries *sigh*. Gotta take an AV9 team next :D

[Mr B]

All righty then!

So, everyone starts with new teams and all in one group.
Every "old" team remains as they are and are entitled to enter at the same spot as they left NUL's previously division.
So, when we are ready it is Okey to ditch the new Or the old one IF the Old team has Not had any games apart from NUL.
One game outside NUL and that team is not welcomed back.
If your Old team has tv 1100 they count as new.

You are welcomed to join "NUL: Feeders".
And of course if this attracts more coaches we will extend from 8players to what ever we end up with.
Hurry Hurry to signup so we can start the fray!

ps I really suggest to not have more than two teams of the same Race.
Cheers!

[The Golden Arrow]

Sounds good :)

I doubt that will be a problem for my race :P

Hello,

I am new to the forums and the community and I would like to join the league with a brand new orc team (Orkitis B.C.). I'm not really sure if this league is only for specific countries or everyone is welcome (I read the rules and I couldn't find anything about it, but in some other threads it seems like you're looking for scandinavian players). In that case I would appreciate if you let me join the league.

Since this is my first post I guess I can introduce myself, I'm from Spain, I've been playing Bloodbowl for a while now in MM but I've always prefered the round robin format for an exciting league without all the MM farming and bad sports.

I guess that's all, cheers.
