EKA Medal Revamp?

[RU_]

Was just pondering the EKA Medal and was thinking about how players that join mid-way through a season or at a season's end and perform strongly don't really get a chance at the EKA Medal. Proposing possibly a cut off for a round that allows those who join post that round get to participate in the following years medal count?

Discuss!

Its best to join late and finish 2nd anyway

I say ney, young guns don't want to win it anymore, can't think of why.....

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Piss off you're not taking my badge from me

Not sure it really needs a revamp though.

 

[iBeng]

Can we revote the season 16 one?

I just figured because I think it was actually timtamWB possibly who joined late one year and had a good season from then but didn't win it and had he got a shot from the entire season he would have come close. That's the best example I have at the moment.

Or for clubs that have someone who joined in say the fourth last round, don't get a shot at it either.

As the EKA is voted on by the clubs at the end of the season, I'm not sure the date a poster joined has that much to do with it? Half a season is plenty of time to make an impression on the judges.

brahj was a pretty clear winner last season, I'm not sure timtam's join date would've impacted the result at all

Yeah agreed. The year I won it I started in Rd1 but didn't post until about Rd8 so really only won it on half a seasons posting. Then again I was only up against Brown Bottle

S16 was the strongest draft year, by far. We even won the Rookie Cup.

Pfft, as if someone would rig an online fantasy game just to see their own side win.

We only gave him the medal to slow him down during the hunt.

Pfft. He wasn't even the best rookie at the club last season.

What about players who join with a couple of rounds to go?

Bandwagoners should not be rewarded

. My actual issue here though is that they join and play say 3 games, no longer a rookie for the next season and have no shot at the EKA.

Bollocks... S18 by some distance. That year was a freakin super draft.
