Since there is no continuous league system in the game and the tourneys 'manually' organized so far were all separate and limited, now would be the time to try the traditional football league system without any limitation, also 'manually'.
My suggestion is the following:
Since there are currently only around 20 active players, a weekly league system organized in 2 divisions seems to be the most suitable, which can be expanded at any time in the future.
Presented through an example based on the results of one of last year's championships. (There were 11 teams here, but that's beside the point.)
In league A, 21k glx weekly rewards (50 glx / point). In B, 14k glx weekly rewards (30 glx / point). Total 35k glx. (That's the weekly amount we request from this year tourney/cup reward pool.)
The last 2 in league A are eliminated, the first 2 in league B are promoted.
League A:
League B:
Red numbers are glx earned after points, blue numbers are glx earned after ranking.
I think it is clear from this that League-A 8-9th places earn roughly as much as League-B 3-4th places, so it is motivating to improve the team even a little.
There is only a significant difference between the earnings of those who are relegated and promoted, but they can earn more/less 1 week later in a stronger/weaker field.
After allocating the glx after the points, I divided the remaining part in this ratio in the example:
- 25%
- 20%
- 15%
- 10%
- 8%
- 7%
- 6%
- 5%
- 2%
- 1%
- 1%
Of course, this is all subject to change. (Especially, in case more or less teams would show up.)
In terms of the game, this system seems to me to be the best and the most transparent. Besides, this is the traditional football system, and I find it more enjoyable than anything that has been tried here before.
If there is a need for it, I think the participants of League-A should be fixed at 10 people, and there could be more participants in League-B until enough teams gather to create another league. (If it were less, 10% could be cut from the total league reward in case of 1 less player.)
The rules woud be the usual:
Not limited teams, all matches played under global tier - even solo team matches.
You play all matches with the same team (coach + starting 7 + 5 substitutions + reserves, free to change players within).
No player or coach swap during the tournament!
Everyone plays everyone twice.
You arrange your matches in Discord thread, feel free to tag your opponents.
There are no rounds in the league. Any match can be played at any time.
If someone doesn't play it:
If you have played 50% or less of your matches before, all your results will be deleted and no rewards earned, not even after points.
If more than 50% played, then the participant who played more matches receives the 3 points with a 3-0 goal difference.
If the number of matches played are the same, then 1-1 points with 0-0.
No point rewards after not played matches, it goes to the 'position reward pool'.
Take a screenshot of the results of the matches and post them in the threads below. The other player confirms that he agrees the result.
Please, try to keep the Teams and Results free from any conversation for better transparency.
The league could run from Monday-Sunday, weekly. I am happy to do the first 2 weeks, if other participants like this system, would be great to pass around result tracking, and counting rewards week by week within few regular active players, so Khan should just send it. Until that's not settled, I would do it for 2 weeks, so requesting the rewards for 2 weeks. 2 x 35k glx. Total 70k glx.
@khan-dayyanz @drzoom have a look and decide, please.
