Boards League (Thursday, S. 12)

mar-z

Ok so assuming everyone involved last season wants in again we will have:

Division 1:
Couch Potatoes
Toronto Rucks
Everyone Likes a Tryer
Grubber RFC
Scorched Earth
Forza Juve
Curly Sue Death Squad
Geraldine RFC

Division 2:
Gideons
Front Row Fairies
Yermen
Men Who Stare at Goats
Ladyboys
Newcastle West
Beltra RFC
Rath Rugby Club

Would everyone confirm here if you want to play in this again next season? Everything will basically be the same as it was this year. I'm setting a deadline of Friday week 16 for confirmation so I can get things set up for Thursday of week 1. I will in-game mail people as well in case they miss it here.

Now just in case there is more interest (and assuming no objections from anyone) I will set up a division 3 if there is interest. So put your name down here. You will also be in the first place to take over from any team from last season who opts out this time around.

Are a lot of the 'originals' i shall call them still floating around? I sometimes check on peoples team pages and its great to see everyone getting stronger and stronger. Some serious teams belonging to boards members out there!

Yeah they are all around still, we're not in the same leagues anymore so only meet in boards cups etc..if they enter them!

Orizio got his ass handed to him in Div II so he aint so bullish these days!

Poor Orizio, and he was SO bullish!!

Anyways im looking forward to locking horns with ye again. In a couple of seasons obviously, as i will need to work my way out of division 3. Wouldn't mind a crack at dreamer if she is in same division, wouldn't mind at all!

You moved to Zimbabwe!? when did you do that? TRAITOR!!

JohnButler

Ehhh... <pulls at collar>...


...ye couple seasons ago i moved. I kind of regret it a alittle bit now but its hasn't been at all easy and a good learning experience. Still want to move back to Ireland at some point to take what is rightfully mine!:D

are you hoping for another amnesty for a free move in a season or two? i cant imagine moving - between boards and the offsite I would feel too much on my own and probably quit. where's the fun in playing unknown teams all the time? zero banter!

Thats exactly what i'm hoping for.

It's the banter i do miss the most to be honest. Hope to be smack bang in the midst of it again in S12!

Where is Orizio these days? Is he still active on blackout?

eoferrall

he's sulking as he got relegated back to Div III and is a league with openside a scotish team that moved about 2 season ago and is a monster team so he has no chance of beating him!

not in the slightest! think of it as an extra big easter egg!! Enjoy!:D

daheff

Front Row Fairies are in!

Phonehead

Hey Marz and others, I wonder what would be the views on making this the Monday Tournament, that would make it very interesting;) plus the Monday tourney has been let fall to the wayside as I haven't the time to look after it.

Blanchguy

Ladyboys are in.

I don't mind. Although people may also have organised to take part in other Monday comps by now.

What do other people think?

Unless we get a fair few wanting to change Phonehead we'll leave it at Thursday. I'm hoping to sort out fixtures, etc. on Friday so we'll see the response by then.

I'm happy with it being Mondays, but then would have to find a new comp to play in if nothing on a Thursday!

Gelio

TBH I prefer thursday so there is no energy hits and to guarantee that everyone is on the same intensity.

Openside are in Div II now so he's got no excuses.


Yeah, I reckon Thursday tourney is the way to go. At the start I wasn't keen on it, but it really means it's all about the tactics etc. Plus the different divisions means that everyone has a bit of a chance of some silverware. It might be nice to get three tiers of trophy though, cup for div 1, shield for div 2, egg-cup for div 3 and then just colour them like BR does.

mar-z

The competition overall can only have 4 trophies. So next season will be 2 for div. 1, and 1 each for the other two. It would have been nice though.

Oh really? Damn, I knew there must be something at work like that. Tis a shame.

Phonehead

It can have more, just need to email br admin and ask to give a few more trophy slots! you are allowed trophies up to 50% of entrants. I can make more or new ones if you want

Oh really. Tbh I wouldn't want to go overboard with trophies anyway but it would be good to do a 1st and 2nd for each division or considering there doesn't look like there will be 8 teams in division 3 do a 1-3 in div 1, 1-2 in div 2 and 1st place only in div 3, it may add a bit more interest in those not battling relegation but to far behind the winners to do anything.
