Hello everyone, we have one important issue on the agenda which has been discussed for long. Sometimes it was very funny, but it's not about that. We consider the two variants of the next Spaceball Season 4 -> 2 matches OR 3 matches per week.
A bit of counts (based on 14 teams, 26 rounds):
2 games per week = 13 weeks of gaming, there are about 3 months.
3 games per week = 8.5 weeks of gaming, there are about 2 months.
As you can see, the difference is quite noticeable.
Pros of the format with two matches:
Unfortunately, we haven't so many really active teams now, which can spend a lot of time for playing in a week. For them, this leisurely system (only 2 matches) of league can be essential. Also, this option is easier for planning their matches. As we can see, in the end of the 3rd season, several teams got a forfeit loss due to the fact that they longly postponed their games. In addition to this, some matches have been completed by mutual technical defeat (0-0 defloss), and if the tournament will take more intensive, there is a risk that such situations will happen more frequent - which we don't like to see in the league.
Pros of the format with three matches:
Increase of the intensity of League matches, and none of the players can be bored and noone has time to loose the interest in the league. Those for whom the tournament takes unbearably long time, and those who do not like spending the pauses between matches on public servers or friendly matches will be certainly pleased. Increasing the intensity of games will increase the interest in the league and in the forum.
If you have further questions, ideas or suggestions, just post them in this thread.
If you want to talk about other changes to the rules or the format of the league go to this thread: spacesports.freeforums.net/thread/525/new-spaceball-season-suggestions
