BoBSL: Sep-Poll + Re-Brand

Bonjour Mon Amis and fellow Scudders.....

As we are all aware.........The Super League is the only event on Conquer Club where the PLAYERS SET THE RULES!

For New Players, this is always done by way of a SEP-POLL.

So called, In Honour of The Head of The BoBSL, CCFA, CCPGA & CCMOFO's and our Glorious and Esteemed Leader................Sepp Blatter.

Re-Branding

Those were the days, some crazy Loon Tune accusing me of asking for money to enter Tournaments I set up, The next day 'The Sepp Blatter Super League was born. Who misses the Sepp Platter Super League?

Image

Talking of which, there is another re-branding of The Super League appearing. softbelly (responsible for the 1st and Current Super League Graphics) has entered the creative depths of hell to come up with a new Branding for the Super League. And it sounds amazing. A montage of actual Photo's of 19th Century Century Soldiers (Crimean War, American Civil War, etc). 'CCSL' will appear on it somewhere....Conquer Club Super League to You and Me!. More to come on that SOON!


Sep-Poll

As we all know, CC will intro a AUTO-SNAP in all Fog Games where BOTH Players get a Snap of the Drop. This negates the requirement for us to have a 2 Leg Tie between 2 Players to give each player an equal opportunity to start the game with their opponent not getting the opportunity to snap (If the Home Player gets 1st Turn).

In order to optimise the structure of the Super League to take advantage of the new CC capability, after a full consultation with the Players, we have 3 Options to Offer. Each Player will get to pick 2 Options from the 3. The most popular choice wins..........

Question: Which structure to The Super League do you think would work best?

- 19 Player Leagues - All Invites are sent out at the same time. Each League will be the same, 19 Players. This keeps the Number of Match Ups in a Season exactly the same. It will be an all Play All ONCE! Match Up= 1 HOME Game, 1 AWAY Game, 2 RANDOM Games. This also keeps the percentage of HOME Maps to 25% of all your Super League Games. Promotion: 1st=3 Leagues, 2nd+3rd=2 Leagues, 4th=1 League. Relegation=The Opposite. 15 Super Leagues instead of the current 28!

- 10 Player Leagues but with Premier with 19 Players - All Invites are sent out at the same time. Some things change, some stuff remains the same. All other Leagues remain the same with the same Promotion and Relegation Rules and Match Ups. Premier moves up to 19 Players with the Rules above. Every Season 6 New Players would be promoted to the Premier, and 6 would be Relegated.

- 10 Player Leagues - All Invites are sent out at the same time. Nothing else Changes.


Okay Troops, The Poll is on the Link below. Voting will stay open until Monday. Have a Great Weekend!

https://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=240037

BoBSL: SEP-POLL RESULTS

This could be EXPLOSIVE!.................................................................

Aross all Sep-Polls.......We received 137 Votes and 2 complaints!

-1 Complaint was around there being 3 Options and each Voter being able to pick 2 Options. The complainer thought we would only find out what the least favoured option was instead of the best.
- The Other was around players in the Lower Leagues being able to dictate the size of the Premier League. Suggestion was that running a Super League Wide Poll on the size of the PREMIER League is un-fair as it MOSTLY effects Players in the Higher Leagues.

And, as you all know, I am all about the Customer Services. And complaints must be taken seriously......................

1st complaint was negated by the fact Players only needed to vote for 1 option if they wanted. And the way the voting went made it pretty much redundant. The 2nd one looked to introduce a dynamic to the voting system that had not really been considered. So remedial action had to be taken.


So, without further ado..........We asked:

- Which structure to The Super League do you think would work best?

And you all replied:


- 19 Player Leagues across the board
29 Votes
28%


- 10 Player Leagues but with 19 Player Premier League
27 Votes
26%


- 10 Player Leagues across the board
48 Votes
46%


Analysis: On the 1st View, the stand out most popular choice was '10 Player Leagues across the board'. However, there is no escaping that most Players voted for change in the form of increased League sizes in some form. 56 Players and 54% of the Vote went for '19 Player Leagues across the board' or '10 Player Leagues but with 19 Player Premier League'. Furthermore, it looked like most of the Votes for increased League Sizes came from the TOP LEAGUES in the Super League. As we shall see.



We also reached out to Players primarily playing in the Top 9 Leagues in the Super League for help in addressing the 2nd complaint.

It was to get a feel from the Higher League Players on what they think the size of solely the Premier League should be. That comprised 90 Players from the Total of 270 Super League Players. So the Top 1/3 of Players, i.e The Players playing in the Top Leagues.

Problem is that over 60% of the Premier gets RELEGATED every Season, plus, only 10 Players are in the current top League. A 19 Player League cuts the RELEGATION from 6/10 to 6/19. It makes it EASIER to get into the Premier League and maintain your position. 19 Players still keeps the structure the same, 18 Match Ups spread over the 2 Month Season with 25% of your games being on your HOME Map, which is the same as it is at the moment. And the results were very revealing. We asked:

- What would the Players in the TOP Super Leagues want the size of the Premier League to Be?

And they replied:

- 19 Player Premier League
19 Votes
58%


- 10 Player Premier League
14
42% Votes


Analysis: By a margin of almost 60/40 the Players in the Top Leagues want a 19 Player Premier League. In conjunction with most Players voting for increased League sizes across the board, all be it, Leagues of 10 was by far the most popular singular choice, I think we can find a compromise that keeps most people happy and addresses the complaints received.



Solution

CC will give us a little notice of when the Auto Snap will be introduced. It will be rolled out so that it does not effect The Super League. It will either be, the last week in October, December or Febuary. Basically just when the final games of a Super League Season will be being finished off. We will introduce the NEW STRUCTURE for the New Season which starts the week after the Roll Out. Until then we continue with exactly the same format as we have now. Staggered Invites and Leagues of 10 Across The Board.

To reflect the main vote AND the Players views from the Higher Leagues. In the new structure, all Leagues will remain at 10 Players with the same Promotion and Relegation Rules. BUT, on a TRIAL BASIS, the Premier League will increase in size to 19 Players. It will be an all play all ONCE, keeping it at 18 Match Ups per Season like the rest of the Leagues. And, it will run to exactly the same schedule as the rest of the Leagues. Match Ups in the PREMIER only will be 1 HOME, 1 AWAY and 2 RANDOM Maps.

As all Players will get an AUTO SNAP at the start of every game. Match Up Invites will be sent at the same time in the New Structure. So, as an example. If we move to the new structure in November (as an example), Match Ups would be set up on the following dates:

MATCH DAY SET UP DATES (Example)
M01 - 02 Nov 2023
M02 - 02 Nov 2023
M03 - 02 Nov 2023
M04 - 06 Nov 2023
M05 - 09 Nov 2023
M06 - 13 Nov 2023
M07 - 16 Nov 2023
M08 - 20 Nov 2023
M09 - 20 Nov 2023
M10 - 20 Nov 2023
M11 - 23 Nov 2023
M12 - 27 Nov 2023
M13 - 30 Nov 2023
M14 - 04 Dec 2023
M15 - 07 Dec 2023
M16 - 11 Dec 2023
M17 - 11 Dec 2023
M18 - 11 Dec 2023

Season to be completed by End Dec.

Extra Promotion Spots to Premier would be, 3 Survivors from Championship, 3rd-6th Placed in League 01 and 2nd and 3rd in League 02.

To make up for these players, these EXTRA PROMOTION SPOTS would go to EVERY LEAGUE throughout the ENTIRE Super League.

Trial would be for 3 Seasons and if it was not Loved by All, it would be changed!

Okay Troops, from tomorrow it's back to REGULAR HIGHLIGHTS!

Good Luck!

Id say keep the same rules.. even with auto-snap.. one can get an unlucky streak on only 3 games so its good to get a 2nd chanse on 3 more later on..
getting or not getting the snap never was a huge advantage anyways compared to who goes 1st..

Not sure what the alternatives will be, and I am all for a larger Premier League, but the current set up is something I do like.

Hi folks, i'm unsure as to the reasons for the change... there is something about playing someone twice that makes this work. Auto snap would be a nice addition though. The main issue is people going first get a better shot at winning, although not sure there is much that could be done about that!

I think fewer but larger leagues would be good.

Currently, in a league of 10 we play 9 players in 4 games 2 times. 9 x 4 x 2 = 72

If had leagus of 24 players and played 1 home game, 1 away game and 1 random against 23 opponents only once then we would each play 69 [wahey!] games.

I agree with anonimous comment. Let's keep the same rules - The snap does not change things much, the main difference is the advantage of playing your favourite map when playing "home".
If you want to speed up the tournament, I suggest to limit the number of rounds per game to 20 or 30, as well as allowing players to resign after 10 rounds.

Having an autosnap doesnt change much as it is all about the home maps. Just means you could release to both players at the same time.

Re: RISK Super League - Season 16

Postby Tviorr on Wed Aug 30, 2023 7:44 am

Dang. Would really prefer that it stayed the way it was. - Its a bit wonky, but I like it. - Auto snap is generally a good thing,

but is it completely impossible that it could be disabled for a tourney by the tourney organizer, or even just for the Super League and Cup??

Other than that, I also like the current format even if we cant have the auto snap disabled for the Super League/cup. 2 home games and 2 random games make for a home game feeling that would be lost, if it was all comprimated into some sort of single face off containing both home and away maps - whatever the exact setup might end up on. - I think that enough home game advantage remains to justify keeping it home and away.

On a slightly different note, if CC could put in a feature for tourneys where first and second turns could be decided in the tourney settings then it would be interesting to remove the luck factor here. - Interesting possibilities would open. - The most obvious would be to do 1 home and 1 random with first turn and 1 home and 1 random with second turn, but with the current set up of home and away matches, the home advantage could be driven home by doing a 3-1 first turn advantage (preferably 2 first turns on the randoms then, or even 4-0 first turn advantage for the home games. - I would think 4-0 (or rather 2 first turns on home maps) would have unintende consequenses as maps can be chosen where first turn is an almost overwhelming advantage (Mogul is certainly one such), so doing 2 set first turns on both home maps would lead to competitive players choosing the same 5-10 home maps. - I digress though. This isnt possible presently and I havent heard any cc plans to explore this. Just for future reference, though, Im thinking a 3-1 first turn home game advantage with 1 first turn on the home map and 2 first turns on random maps would be very interesting. - It could also be possible to do 5 games in a match and have 3 random games with 2-1 first turn advantage.

Again most of it not relevant, but I happen to live in a dimension slightly different to the normal one, so :P

I agree, I think the rules are good as is and the whole auto-snap issue is overrated.

I agree with most of the above comments, leave it as is even with the auto-snap. The format works well and the only change will be expediting the invite system, but having two matches against each player in the group is appreciated.

This is a great idea, some of the games can run insanely long.


If we go to a limit of the number of rounds per game to 20 or 30 then we could include all maps if we make it 20.

What the man says. Doesn't have to change a thing unless you want it to change a thing.

"Just means you could release to both players at the same time." = that's all it means really

Based on what I've read so far, I think keep it the same number of players in each league and agree auto snap doesn't really impact things as much. I also like the idea of bringing in 20 round limits with a resign option and in turn opening up all maps.

I would agree with others - why not just keep it as it is? I find the BoBSL thoroughly enjoyable and I don't think the auto snap stuff will make that much of a difference

I am with most that have written here: keep it as it is, since the autosnap doesn´t really change much. But I think that the question of who has the first turn need to be addressed, maybe by CC as a whole, because in many maps the outcome is really decided in the first turn!

[b]Maps[/b]

Since there are maps which are excluded (for lengthy reasons) , i think Random maps/games should be excluded for the same reasons.. because these excluded maps still can appear in random..

A home game should be (4 home maps)

Or either make most maps available with round limit.
