Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Given Surelynot's situation, and a couple of others who are dropping out of the league, I might take this end-of-month as an opportunity to just rebuild the whole table. I will still give promotion badges out to those who have topped their divisions, but I reckon it might be helpful to push up a couple of the low-division high-ranked players. I know that early rankings are sometimes a way off - so I was thinking I'd only do this if the player in question had a decent game history - say 25 games?

Any objections?

That sounds like a good idea, Fetch.

Oh I see, you wait until the month I'm on top of my Division..... ;)

Srsly, it's what I suggested months ago, so you'll have no argument from me.

I don't do badges but maybe the ability to log race times to 0.00 will compensate ;-)

I'd have thought that the sort should happen below say Div 4 where people actually have an issue with rankings.

JCB or I would probably go up from Div 2 this month but wouldn't due to this. bja would lose his place in Div 1 despite playing well enough to keep it. Doesn't feel right to me.

I do wonder whether I can cope with leagues going forward though so might not last much longer so if I'm the only one that feels like that then feel free to ignore me. Wouldn't want to be like the ESL lot shaping the rules then buggering off a couple of days later ;-)

If we're thinking of having a re-jig, I think the pyramid structure proposed a few pages back (or a variant thereof) has real merit ... a wider pool of opponents at each tier and a much shorter journey from bottom to top for new people joining.
