Asunto: Weekly Friendly Comp

Looks like you have got a great A League with all teams touching avg mark in the range of 45 - 70 and all real users. All teams have something to play for, with every game being important.

Might seem that way but in reality there’s not much to play for in this new structure. There’s a top 4 that are daylight ahead of the rest, there’s a clear next 2 albeit it hasn’t surfaced yet this season due to a few unfortunate results and a bit of a weird draw. Then there’s the next 3 that realistically are playing for 7th to 9th and the order means nothing as all will play qualifiers against bot sides and then you have a clear bottom 3 which auto relegate. One of those 3 is really a glorified bot because they don’t really play the game these days. The division underneath has probably 2 users that even log in. There’s nothing to play for outside of 2-3 games a season at the moment and you usually play those up front and at the end.

The bottom 3 will be trying their best to not be relegated and play bots the next season. It's just 7 games but only 2 points separate the 7th and 10th place. But yes, I get your point. 7th - 9th teams have a slightly stronger team than the bottom 3. Regardless, still a more interesting league than our top league full of bots. In our league, who will come 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th is pre-decided. I'm at a stage where even if new users join in, they'll take ages to get at my level.

Fancy jumping onboard & pushing the devs to merge Asia & Oceania? :D
For us in Oz, the Cup is probably of more interest once we get to last 16....given the right draw, I can at least hope for a semi final (although not this season).

I would love to see a merge of Asia and Oceania and have already posted in the Sokker Development thread about merged leagues. But apparently, the DEVs want to first market the game and then if it fails to bring in adequate users, then it's the last option for them. So I guess we'll have to wait a while, for 3-4 seasons atleast.

We can start this from next week! So far I can only see 3 teams are willing to participate. Should I ask clubs from other countries? Maori All Blacks from NZ participated last time. Can ask him.

I received a reply from Maori All Black and he said he's in.
We have 4 teams finally which means we can play a double round robin and can start next week (05/12).

Next week fixtures:
Melbourne Mongrels vs The Comets
Maori All Blacks vs Pune FC

The first name of the team means that team will play at home. In the first case, the match will be in Melbourne Mongrels arena.

Sounds good.

Week 1 Results:

Melbourne Mongrels 0 - 3 The Comets (Walkover)
Maori All Blacks 0 -3 Pune FC (Walkover)

Since both Fantum and All Blacks didn't come online on time for the friendly, Cometer and I get a walkover.

The Comets 1 1 0 0 3-0 3
