Anyone any objections to same format for next season(ie. 2 games a week and no cup, 3up and 3 down)? If so, suggest an alternative and see what people think.
I don't mind either way.
Almost tradition at this stage that I am proposing one game a week and a cup.:)Quote:

We must defend our last remaining title.:)
Any chance of signing up for the new league season lads?
one league match and two cups sounds good. Might drag on though if you get knocked out of the cup in the first round.
Definitely, couple of teams without a manager at present. League details are on the first page.Quote:

Or start with a new team. If you're taking over one of the above then let me know in advance so I can sack their manager.
It might be an idea to open up a thread on the xpert forum to let people vote there too in case they don't look at this thread very often?Quote:

Thread on the Xpert forum up and running.
I thought it was fine as it is. Pretty much everyone had important games up to the end of the season.
I'm back! I want to stay up this year! Thanks sligoman for leaving me back in
Jaysus, they're in rag order! I'd rather start afresh with a new team, but I already have a team in the league we have on the Drogs mb so I'm not sure if I'm allowed another one?Quote:

The Xpert rating
The Xpert rating is a measure of how active and serious you are as a manager. If you place the mouse pointer over the Xpert rating (the horizontal bar) you will see your exact rating.
The Xpert rating is based on:
1) You start with 25 points.
2) Number of days on which you have logged on during the last 3 months (maximum 75 points)
3) Number of days on which you have issued press statements of more than 150 characters in the Xpert leagues during the last 2 months. Each day is worth 1,5 points. (maximum 30 points)
4) The number of penalty points you have been given.
Penalty points are given in the following situations:
1) A press statement that is deleted in the Xpert leagues by the league admin or a moderator. Gives -5.
2) If you leave a league (non Xpert league), you get between -6 and -24 points depending on whether you have played for a whole season or pull out during a season or before a season has started. You will get penalty points whether you resign or the administrator sacks you.
3) In addition we in the X11 team can give penalty points if a user misbehaves or breaks any rules. Between -5 and -50 points.
You keep penalty points for 3 months.
It's not that difficult to get your rating to 95. Mine is always higher than that and I don't usually bother with press releases.
Alternatively you could become a VIP which gives you full team quota (3 months €8, 6 months €14, 12 months €24).
My rating is currently at 83. So I should have it over 95 before your season starts up again
I had this in my inbox today;
Following Wexford Boys's last match, Police have unearthed irregular betting patterns on the result of the game. Several playing staff at the club have been found guilty of betting on the match and as a result, the club have been fined 1 060 000 econ.
Quite good timing I think! :)
Are you still up for joining Windmill Warrior? I don't want to delay the new season too much like. Bluebeard has made the press release now so Flynny's is available if you want it and have brought your rating up.
Bluebeard's taking over Depor Cali Bohs in the First Division. At the moment(or at least when Bluebeard moves soon) nobody is managing Flynny's. Does anyone want to apply for it? If not, the most successful team will be history:eek:
Next seasons first division will be more competitive than the LOI first division! :mad:Quote:
