Yip, you are on a REST SEASON July and August. So whichever League you end up in after this Season concludes. That is where you will re-start on the 4th August.

Njoy your holiday!

Vote on change to escalating sets from flat rate.

Reasons:

flat rate is pure luck what you get. One player can get 2 or 3 red sets the other 3 rainbow,

Escalating involves some strategy as a player can avoid getting a card to make his next set worth more.

The only luck factor with escalating is when a set becomes available. i.e. after 3, 4 or 5 cards. But that is the same with flat rate.

flat rate on some random maps means games can take a very long time. Escalating will speed up results on those maps.

Escalating is being used in the Cup.

Sepp Poll please.

So I am sure you love SBSL as much as me so much so in fact that I want more.

So (drum roll,please) here is my suggestion. For Season 20 (or before if you like 15 maybe? We celebrate by combing 2 leagues into be :o :o :o

The Prem and Champ would be one league for one season only. League One and League Two would be one league for one season.

So you think your the champ - well can you do it over a full season? 38 Match ups? Let’s see what you got!

I tried to reason with Craig on this but he wasn't having it. Flat rate is the highest luck combo.

Re: Super League - Season 14

Postby Craig25 on Wed Jun 07, 2023 4:51 am

Firstly, on Super League. The concept, formulated after running most of the largest Tourneys on CC was to have an ongoing Tournament that allowed the best 2 Player RISK Players to rise to the top of the Tournament over time. And to give other players the challenge of improving to rise closer to the top. In order to allow this to happen, firstly, there had to be enough games in a Season to partly off set luck, but, the Season also had to be fast moving. Flat Rate was specifically chosen for that reason. As were the other game settings.

Auto - To maximise participation and speed of games.
Seq - To maximise Participation.
Adj - Requires more skill.
Foggy - To make it more complicated to favor better players.
Banned Maps - To insure the slowest Maps did not slow the Tourney down too much.

On Flat Rate versus Escalating. At the start of a 2 player game, ESC is actually more predictable. And that is actually a bad thing for the higher Ranked Player. It is the polar opposite of what you think.

In Flat Rate, the increased un-predictability of FR actually gives the Higher Ranked Player more opportunity to come back if going 2nd. While it still offers them the chance to build a lead at the start if going 1st to withstand the possibility that they will be unlucky on cards. And it is only a chance, on either thing. But the proof of this is in 13 Super League Seasons. Where, the best players have undoubtedly risen to the top to dominate the Tournament. And Good players who start late, cut their way through the lower Leagues very quickly. Undoubtedly, in ESC there would be a similar trend, however, read above, it would not be to the same extent.

Furthermore, at the end of every Season. Outcomes of games need to be predicted to an accurate level so that players finish in the position that their play deserves in the League. In ESC, towards the end of games, who has a set in the fewest number of cards dictates a huge number of outcomes and swings game outcomes dramatically. This makes it much harder to predict the outcome of games as accurately in FR, therefor could extend the length of 2 month Seasons. And also, the more luck involved with ESC spoils (at this stage in the game), detracts from what the Super League is set up to be.

ESC was trialed in the Cup. But, at the end of Rounds, it causes huge problems for swift completion to the Next Round. In FR, it is much easier to predict results of long games where the outcome is clear cut.

As such, FR versus ESC will not go to a Sep-Poll. Only things that go to a Sep-Poll are things which could improve the original concept of the Super League.

On that, we have also had a Poll on increasing the size of the Premier. I was for it, but, the players voted against it. So it didn't fly. The aim was to give Premier Players an equal chance of sustaining their position in the Premier. Currently circa 30% of players in most leagues get RELEGATED. In the Premier, it is always at least 60%!

I think the choices were 12 Player Premier, 14 Player Premier or No change - No Change won. Weaselshane's idea is dramatically different to that so maybe this has scope for another Sep-Poll? More input is required though before we go to the Polls!
