Plenty of good hockey minds in this league from a variety of countries. :thumbsup:

Just means the level of competition is seriously strong.
Got to love the passion!
That's what hockey is all about!

Yes, time to move forward.  :judge:

Yes it was! Part of the problem is the misunderstanding brought about by this reasoning from Pigs.

What?

Trying to call out a league commish is dangerous bud. PM me if you have that kinda opinion.

we got us a touchy group! Must be the money at stake!

Has there ever been a discussion of playing multiple opponents per week?

Is this a topic that can be or has been raised, or possibly voted on?

I love the league and want to stress that this is not a complaint.


Thank you  :toast:

22 regular season weeks

Playing a 3 opponent per week format (scheduling can be adjusted to this format) would give us a 66 week simulation where each team can get the chance to play each team at least once. Division foes can have a true barometer of division heavy schedules. The entire league would in my opinion have a truer barometer.

I cant speak for everyone, just speaking for myself the one game per week (or 22 game season) seems to drag & lack competitive balance (true season long simulation) & decreasing interest (again just my opinion).

Thanks again.  :toast:

You post whatever and whenever you want man! :toast:

I don't remember anyone ever bringing it up.
Good idea.
Fantrax allows for multiple matchups each wk.
What's the thinking behind it? Better way to get clear results of top teams?

Guess we'd set the best lineup and it would matchup against 2 teams instead of one.

Snug, you know more about this kind of setup being a commish in Dynasty.

Interesting.

Thanks man...(forget Jonathan  :rofl:)

I built the schedule in fantrax for Scouting Department (Corey made the schedule but it was implemented in fantrax by me) I would be happy to do the same for FNHL (if needed)

Yes, fantrax allows you to set multiple opponents in the same week...this allows a more realistic simulation imo. The rewards are clear, it gives a truer sense of the strongest teams & playoff teams/matchups are more deserved.

Division weighted scheduling also builds up rivalries & drives up interest. As a new GM having only 1 year vested in FNHL I did not wish to step on tradition, however I felt we could make a great league even better by increasing matchups to provide a more realistic total simulation.

The current schedule only needs to be edited to accomplish this task. If the matter can be voted on or approved, it is not overly complicated to achieve. We could have an 82 game schedule (by having 4 opponents for 16 weeks = 64 games & 3 opponents the final 6 weeks)

This is the best hockey league Ive ever been a part of, so if it stayed the same it wouldn't kill me, I would LOVE an 82 game simulation with all you fine gents.  :toast:

I does sound interesting. I will dig on Fantrax and see what it means.

To create a schedule weighted toward Conference and Division matchups would that have to be done manually or push a button on Fantrax?
