Surprised but happy to see 100% on the league system -- that's something I'm really looking forward to, and of course some idiot spoilt the perfect rating (but that just means you have some way to go before hitting the ceiling!).

Happy holidays everyone, and thanks again, well deserved rest before we get back to serious football again, eh?

serious football was already last night, isn't?

nevertheless, happy holidays to everyone as well, nice period is coming

regarding League system, I am also glad to see that it is 100% for that, will be certainly interesting and IMO better fun than just gambling, not sure that it is feasible this season, but try to bring it up next season

Must admit I am also a bit surprised for 100% on the league system. I was sure all of you that are playing my La Liga and Serie A pools would be up for it. Degenerate gamblers all together but I though it would be too big commitment for more casual users. For proper league to have sense ideal number of participants should fall into 36-60 and this survey results gave us a good incentive to make it happen.

Working on all that guys, will get back to you with hopefully good news in the near future.

Cryptofrka and Trofo going to view the results from the questions.

-Oh lets see how much its the ideal entrie fee:
-Nobody
-Literally nobody:
-Us : vote in a perfect 33% not giving a clue to the organizers. 

I dont know how we manage to reach that perfect percentage.


Happy holidays for all and good rest.... until Monday come back of PL.

@Trofo: Yeah, especially seeing how many people drop off from the pool (which is, in worst scenario, easy to fill in picks for weeks ahead of schedule), I'm really surprised that everyone opted to commit to leagues. But that's really cool to know, and am sure you guys will come up with something cool. Let me know if you need any help or something, who knows? e.g. stuff like free hosting, if needed.

@darxiaomi: Ideal entry fee is probably as accurate as possible. I'd say a lot of it depends on location and cost of living and income, and I guess we really are a varied bunch. Personally, for me a season long fee is actually incredible value for entertainment (I see it almost as an outright bet on myself).

interesting view
actually, after this competition I can go far to say - no one ever lost, when bet on me (it was just two bets, but who is counting)

yeah, league is a whole year entertainment, and really has value, IMO, i am not looking at as pure gambling, it is more fun, comparing with paying for watching something interesting, or venue to play sport with friends, and for that one would easily pay this money

So, I'd like to finalize the thread with some final comments. I will briefly touch on some of the suggestions you mentioned and try to offer our perspective here as well.

Having a webpage
Impossible at this point, would take even more effort and also incur additional financial cost - which would lower the rewards.

Adding more over/under goals and booking options
We wanted to distance ourselves from the 'standard' bookies betting options. We might implement it a bit more, but not by a lot - unless the majority of the contestants asks for it.

Regional seeding
Not something we're considering - we don't have enough members for that.

Odds-based system
Sure, but in another type of competitions - we have something in mind for such things as well.

Exclusive rewards
We will work with our future competitions sponsors on such things. SB had some plans already for the winner - but they were last second and could not have been organized on such short notice.

Replacement for Google Forms
If you have alternatives, please suggest. This was the best we managed to come up with - and we were happy how it worked.
We have to be able to track answers though.

Less lineups questions
We weren't happy with the results from these as well, they will either be modified or replaced in the future.

All rules and forms in the OP
Sure, however is easier for you.

I didn't touch on some of them - they were suggesting some other competition formats/ideas. We did read those and took some notes, would be difficult to briefly comment on these though.

If you have some comments to add please feel free to do so, if not I will lock this thread in a few days.
