fish wrote:Hey REB just wondering why you want to get the leagues finalised starting next week. I thought the leagues were auto-filled at the end of Round 2 so don't you have until then?
Not a criticism, just thinking if I also need to get a wriggle on with my bigfooty promotion/relegation leagues
Because I don't want the leagues autofilled FISH. I have a deadline because then I offer the spots to the players in the leagues below. Not sure how you run yours but what I do is this.
1. Send out a zillion invites
2. Crack that shits at the same dozen coaches that don't join early every year
3. Replace the coaches that pull out
4. Set the deadline
5. Offer promotions based on points scored from the year before
5a. Coaches must have played at least one season of Hogg Division I before they can be promoted to Premier League
5b. You can 'skip' a league if you score well enough the season before (except Div I). The reason I do this is that the lower scoring side hasn't earned the promotion by qualifying directly so they aren't losing 'their' spot.
6. Organise the new coaches
6a. Returning coaches are placed in the best available league but not Premier
6b. New coaches go straight into Divvvy IV regardless of score. If we are short a division they might go into Divvy III if they are big scorers like one side that wants to join.
7. Invite all of the rest to fill out Divvy V which is usually last. I haven't even invited the Divvy V coaches yet but will do so soon so they don't opt out
Goal is give everyone a gig who wants to play and reward the coaches who come back year after year in order of scoring performance.
Kindest,
REB
