  • really stoked for this and how the playoff has been sorted. seems the only teams not moaning about the split are the ones who actually are involved in the playoff and who really should be the ones maybe disgruntled.
    my other point is all the count and points system really doesn't work because it's not very hard for people to heavily low rank people that they think will be around them. therefore giving teams more points than they should. it's sneaky tactics but in the end people aren't exactly honest 24/7
    I wouldn't mind seeing the ranking done on a previous league or tournament results. as this would actually give a solid representation of most teams in the league especially when there are mix matches tournament teams! would only be difficult for new players but I think there would be a very small exception that a team of new players or 2/3rds new players would be good enough to play in a top division

  • John H did seedings of the first 'merit split' league a few years back based on people's Podium rankings and also took into account other results from tournaments that summer... which after all had been settled IIRC was also not without some rancour, e.g. John, Dean and Sandy were placed in the top league, but Ali, Iain and Dan were in the second division, because they hadnt played over the summer. There was no pre-season playoffs. Their team Wooden Skulls won every single game in that lower division. They were also extremely magnanimous and got on with playing every game after the seeding had been done and were a credit to London polo despite being way above the skill level of most other teams they played.

    If you think that it's a better way of doing it, there's a vacancy in the stats nerd position of the LPC if you want to apply for it...!!
