All In James, your hand is good enough. You know you want to!!

My question is: Once a player signs up for a team, is he stuck in that team forever or can he change at a later date?

Members can be removed from any group at any time under the invite group scheme.

Groups can be deleted also.

All team starters have rights over the group.

hi all

I'll try and address as many of the questions as possible

3 50+ posters per team ?

yep I guess so ... I just didnt want to spead the active members too thin or too thick - dont see a problem with changing it to max 3 50+ posters ... obviously over time I'd hope that our 10+ posters etc carry on posting so there is only really a need for this rule to start off with

change team name ?

I dont mind changing team names - not sure the system does - so it might be a case of sticking or shifting team members over to new group

is a player stuck once they join a team ?

hmm tricky one this - as within the social groups thing it would be possible to end up in multiple groups, as we are using a feature of the forum software rather than designing from the ground up - so we really have to work on common sense and trust that members are not going to try and be in more than one team

the issue with changing teams is things like scoring for the leagues if we want to announce the team results as well as individual results

thats fairly easy to backwards engineer at the end of a season we just tot up points from the top scoring players - but I guess we could have issues like with fantasy league footie where people say we'll they were in my team for 1/2 the league etc ... so we'd have to use some common sense again

maybe transfers can be made between league seasons ? which would be every 13th week / 4 times per year ?

thanks for the reply Bob. The reason I asked the question about changing teams is because I have started a ladies only team and I'm not sure how many I'll be able to get. If I don't get enough members, we may have to disolve the team and let them join another. Guess we'll worry about that down the road. Going to do my best to get them involved.

shame you can't hide the member list i would have liked to keep my arsenal of players a secret till game time.....lol

P.S: a couple invites i sent out were members close to 50 posts...so i can have them too since there were below 50 posts when i recruited them right ???...lol

hi all

As I think someone (GT or Jacks probably) described me as as benevolent dictator (or something similarly generous while running a democracy with no powers to overthrow etc)

I'm a great believer in common sense rules ... rule

so really if team leaders and team members are able to exercise common sense and see the general aims, what we are try to achieve and what we are trying to avoid ... I dont see any point in making rules set in stone (so long as no-one is planning to split hairs if we come to some tight points decisions

The main reason I wanted to spread the high active posters around ... is so we can ideally get say 20 teams with upwards of 10 members in each team

That might not happen straight away but so long as the teams dont end up hogging / bunching all the best players / most active members into one or two teams ... that's cool

In terms of keeping the team member list secret - that wont really work to well as we need to make sure that we dont end up with duplicate membership (it's possible if people dont use a bit of common) so having the lists / teams all visible means people can check who their with etc ... trust me some will forget

also I dont really see a problem with some of the members who fall between the 10+ and 50+ posts setting up teams if they want to ... again its down to common sense

We want to get members more interested in each other and in the forum activities so it would be good if setting up the teams means that some of the 10+ posters get more involved and also if some of the sub 10+ posters do to

just to give an overview ... we currently have around 600 10+ posters eligible for the passwords etc

under the old 5+ rule we had around 1500-1800 members eligible for the passwords etc

It would be great if we can get more of these members back eligible for the passwords, so teams would be a great incentive for everyone to motivate and be motivated

cheers scrawnybob

ps. good luck with all your team building and I'm Jeffsbabe you can get a ladies squad together - there is easily 10 active ladies in the games
