Admin Notice Random Musings From The Desk of the Admin (Season 35)

[Kennedy Parker]

1/22/2023

Hello Qooty enthusiasts,

Season 35 is just about to begin and given the amount of threads being made I can see that the league is literally shaking with anticipation.

To fill everyone in on some recent developments in the committee room, there will be some changes expected to be enacted:

• drawn finals will now be replayed on the Monday after
• captain suspensions for minor team sheet offences are expected to return
• there are some restructuring within the committee room being discussed to possibly introduce a backup representative for each club and some minimum standards and expectations in the committee to be set out in the rules

Now the part that the West Coast Wonders have been eagerly anticipating...

[Broken]

This doesn't seem random

 

[ClarkeM]

I know I’m ClarkeM, but why on earth are there three back to back triple bye rounds to end the season?

Ridiculous. Have them in the early half of the season and then we are guaranteed to have every opportunity to be tuned into the results in the last few rounds to see if we make finals or not.

I know the bye is inevitable in the final round but to have 3 teams with a bye seems a little weird to me.

 

[Mobbs]

This doesn't seem random

Actually, if you read to the end, it kinda does.

The last round suspense of who makes/doesn't make the finals is wonderful... so many teams shouldn't be sitting out the last round/s.

Can only hope those three teams are bottom of the ladder.

* YEAH!!!

 

[PhenomenalV1]

We could just expand the finals to 10 teams.

That way we keep the suspense.

I want to smack you

 

[ClarkeM]

Swamprats and Demons could play their Round 3 game in Rd 18.

Ticks off the bye nice and early AND means both teams are around for the final round of the season should there be any late season drama and hype.

 

[ClarkeM]

This is why I’d make a great admin. Because I actually think about things…

Nah, would mean both teams play twice in the space of 3 rounds.

 

[ClarkeM]

manangatang and philreich can come too on the proviso that they agree it makes sense to play their Rd 3 match in Rd 18.

 

[ClarkeM]

Nah, would mean both teams play twice in the space of 3 rounds.

Nothing wrong with that. But sure, what about Rd 8 Baghdad v Mt Buller?

 

[Senor M]

Nothing wrong with that. But sure, what about Rd 8 Baghdad v Mt Buller?

That would leave Mt. Buller with back to back byes (which would be fine if it was ski season, but not this early in the season)

 

[Mobbs]

Nah, would mean both teams play twice in the space of 3 rounds.

Maybe the Dragons v OOBs Rd 2 clash, moved to Rd 17? No 2nd clash between them as far as I can see.

Hello Qooty enthusiasts,

Season 35 is just about to begin and given the amount of threads being made I can see that the league is literally shaking with anticipation.

To fill everyone in on some recent developments in the committee room, there will be some changes expected to be enacted:

• drawn finals will now be replayed on the Monday after
• captain suspensions for minor team sheet offences are expected to return
• there are some restructuring within the committee room being discussed to possibly introduce a backup representative for each club and some minimum standards and expectations in the committee to be set out in the rules

Now the part that the West Coast Wonders have been eagerly anticipating...
