Great stuff. Don't forget about the boostings though before you make the season.;) I'd say we should start the season Saturday week, maybe the following Tuesday to give the newbies a bit of time to get used to the game a bi more?Quote:

Surely three divisions with 2 up 2 down? Maybe 2 up 2 down from 1st to 2nd and 3 up 3 down from 2nd to 3rd to allow the better managers progress a bit quicker?
Firstly I don't think you can have different numbers of promotion from each division.
I think with divisions of 10 two up and down is too few, three just about right I'd say.
aye that sounds about right, try it 1st season anyway. best to give the new teams at least 10 days if they want to sign a few players and play a few friendlies.Quote:

Yup, three up three down sounds right to me too. It will give more people something to play for, especially in the first and second divisions.Quote:

That seems like the fairest way.. Anyway it won't matter now that we have 30 teams..Quote:

Yes, that is how it would be automatically ranked.Quote:

As long as sligoman doesn't get his finger out, you're fine. But your team will obviously suffer loss in form and defeats, nothing unrecoverable from though.Quote:

We can't start the season until you're in.Quote:

I think it will have a bigger impact on the 8th best team in the top more often (ahem). Gates were second when we went up and very nearly made a third season in the top flight, beating some decent teams in our first season, while Windmill Warriors look like they could be there for a time, as second.Quote:

Besides, if the likes of third placeds don't go up to shake things, it means that the status quo stays very samey - it is conceiveable to see four or five yo-yo sides carving it up, the other sides slowly becoming inactive out because of a lack of interest at having little chance to come up to the top table.
You also have the issue a couple of seasons ago where the 8th team - lofty's - should never ever have gone down and they walked promotion the following season. They were waaay too strong for the division below.
So am I boosting all the new teams? People ok with that?
Sounds damn good to me! I think 3 up 3 down sounds like a giggle.
Go on, do it!!!;)Quote:

No. I emailed support and haven't heard back so I re-registered under another game.
It usually takes a day or two I think. Did you re-apply for the foot.ie league? If not click search when you sign in, search for league ID 43871 and you should be able to apply.Quote:

Season created, starting 28th July as there's so many new teams. btw, trying to boost teams but there's no option showing up, does the season have to have started to do this:confused:
roversfan, if you want to re-apply to take over an existing team then do and once one becomes available you'll be next in line.
Didn't you not read what I said? You can only do it between seasons. In all honesty you've made a major **** up as I think boosting are pretty important for new teams.Quote:

I really couldn't have been given 2 harder opening fixtures. First Loftys then UCD.:(
Think I'm in administration already, i've over spent on training.
If everyone's together, boosting is not a big problem.
The age-old issue for promoted sides - you face the strongest sides in descending order first :)
Yes, just noticed actually so it isn't as bad as I first thought.Quote:

I'd imagine that the teams have to be in a division before they can be boosted, so that is why you couldn't do it before setting up the season. And seeing as they are all brand new teams and all in the same division, you can only boost them to "2-3% below the average skill of the teams in the lowest division in the league", if you had boosted tehm, it would have meant you would have reduced every single one of them. In this case, well played, Lawrence of Albania.
Dman, you know what comes now:p
Team can only boosted between seasons, i.e. after the change report and before the next season is created.;)
