British XV's - 2015 Discussion Thread

[Ringo]

That is where we disagree Ric - Sportal scoring system was the foundation originally for this comp. The scoring system not the DPP is the foundation on which British was established.  We have got close to replicating original Sportal which was the core by using the customization in UF.

To enable full management in UF am proposing we use their DPP so the comp can be 95% managed in the Portal.

i say we just vote on it

Do not think we need to vote just yet as from discussions there are 3 teams against and some 9 teams have now expressed support.  Vote would reflect that.

FWIW. I cant see any issues with basing everything on UF

[nrich102]

That was because Sportal used CD now we are changing to UF we should be governed by them.  None of you have been involved in Admin to know how much has been involved over the years. If you want to use CD then go to the other xvs.  We have an opportunity to get something unique and because you do not benefit you seem to be against every enhancement we try to do to make the competition fairer. So you need to consider the whole competition not the Hedgehogs which I as administrator do.

JB you have not read the whole discussion on this as it was my original suggestion tto try and keep the admin job a little easier.

That's quite rich Ringo, have a look over at EXV and see what's going on there.

I feel like most of your suggestions after your original post have seemingly targeted me too.

If you'd like another example of what I organise for the forum, have a look at the front bar ultimate footy thread. I also run a keepers EPL league by myself for others.

Also your response to JB is quite mean. I think he did read it and he gave his opinion and you shut it down because you didn't agree with it. There was nothing he said that showed he hadn't read through the thread.

Spot on Spite I did read over it all and gave my opinion.

Well this comment to me said you did not

"Funny how it is the Goddard and a Griffen owners that are most keen for this ."

There are more than those 2 interested in following the UF scoring as has been show through out the thread.

And for the record I do not benefit at all from either this change or the proposed mini draft.

Sorry should  i re-word it.

 You and the Goddard and Griffen owners are the most keen.

Come on mate show some respect. Ringo puts heaps of time and effort into this for our enjoyment, the least we could do is make it a little easier for him.

[nostradamus]

Just make whatever decision you want Ringo, your the Admin mate and do a heap of work for us all. Leaders lead, their decisions don't always have to be popular ........we at Grope Lane are happy whichever way you go.

In our limited time in this comp we've always found your decisions to be in the best interests of the league as a whole.

**and good luck to whoever has Goddard l say, just the luck of the draw with the fantasy gods**

Is there a 100% confirmed scoring system for this year yet? If so could someone let me know what it is?

Also, what are the chances that UP/Clangers are added by UF next year?

I personally feel that whatever we go with this year, we should probably stick with.

It is unlikely UP/Clangers will be added now. I would suggest it would take an injection of $$$ into UF to do so. Champion Data charge per stat and it isnt cheap. Really excited to get this comp on to a platform where it makes life easier for Ringo as well as everyone else. We will be able to see in match/round match ups, make easy changes to on field teams etc. There is also an improved mobile app (last year's version was reasonably basic and didnt cover key functionality) for those of us that need to make changes etc on the run.

I will be doing a mock draft this evening with some of the guys. Hoping for UF to open very shortly as there has been quite a bit of work done so far. If I find out some goss I will pass on.

I agree with that, UP/Clangers is a pretty significant change, which makes it hard to make trades and plan ahead for the future

I take it the scoring system isn't confirmed yet? Trying to do some trading

[Ringo]

We will be using a the customised scoring system in UF. Clangers and UP taken out.

This is what is currently proposed.

Stat    Description   
KI    Kicks         3pts
HB    Handballs      1pt
MA    Marks      3pts
HO    Hitouts      1pt
TK    Tackles        3pts
FF    Free Kicks For    1pt
FA    Free Kicks Against    - 3pt       
GL    Goals       6pts
BH    Behinds       1pt
ED    Effective Disposals    2pts
CP    Contested Possessions  4pts
SP    Spoils     2pts
CL    Clearances     2pts

There has been some discussion on F/A.  There is the option of scoring a Free Kick Differential.  Do we want to go this way with a multiplier or just keep as above.  If you want a multiplier need to suggest.  Not really a fan as certain players always seem to be on the favourable end of free kick count Selwood and Christensen come to mind so if using this they would be favoured depending on multiplier.

Thanks Ringo!

Not too worried either is fine with me, can't imagine it would make a huge difference

[LF]

I think 1 point is sufficient for a free kick and -3 is fine for FA
