Do we really need new thread for every single competition format? Especially with some people who only ever post about formats. KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3499 - 31/12/2019 21:32:26 2256694 Link 2 |
The answer to your question is NO we don't. So why did you just start one??? Your proposed format is interesting but could do with a few tweaks. 1. Change the shape of the ball to oval. 2. Eliminate the 4 steps rule. 3. To improve scoring chances allow goals to be scored by getting the ball over the end line at any point.

Why not? There is a few new threads on co.petition formats every week with some ideas rehashed again and again with few if any changes. Why do they need a new thread each time. What's wrong with my competition format apart from your childish put downs because of its similarity to other sports. KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3499 - 01/01/2020 19:54:54 2256761 Link 0 |

This is childish and petty and ignores a very valid point about the forum. There is many valid posts from many people including myself about competition formats. I've created more than my share of threads on the issue but fact is there doesn't need to be a new thread each time for anyones football or hurling season structures. There should be a thread for hurling competition structures and another for Gaelic and that's it. Instead of current mess of a new thread for every single idea. This is where an upgraded forum that allows polls/voting and people could easily vote for their favourite and we could gain greater consensus on what hoganstand posters feel are the best ideas for the future

I started one as it's boring seeing thread upon thread upon thread on basically the exact same topic. How competitions are structured. Why not keep them in the one thread and not clutter the entire forum up with basically the same discussion. Your rugby jabs are pathetic and says a lot about you that you have to resort to that instead of actually debating what I postes KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3499 - 01/01/2020 22:18:03 2256771 Link 0 |
Two formats which I prefer to see. Hawkeye9212 (Donegal) - Posts: 266 - 01/01/2020 23:19:28 2256778 Link 0 |
How the competitions are scheduled are more important than the formats. Most of the formats people come up with are fine. To know if they'll work in practice you have to come up with a calendar for them. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4210 - 02/01/2020 06:09:47 2256789 Link 7 |
I like your first solution. I don't like the second. There shouldn't be 1 up 1 down between tiers. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4210 - 02/01/2020 06:11:06 2256790 Link 7 |
The second is more likely to get through. I'll take it over the current format.

It's better than the current format. 4 groups of 4 in each tier is fine too. It's just 1 up 1 down is bad. You've a problem with more than the tier 2 champion getting promoted which I kind of think is silly. I'd have 2 up 2 down at a minimum. I also just think 2 groups of 8 in each tier is better. There's 17 weeks from Mid May to end of August which the Fixtures review committee are using for the championship window. Groups of 8 with teams advancing to quarterfinals makes 10 match weekends. That's a good schedule for players in the summer. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4210 - 02/01/2020 10:14:19 2256806 Link 7 |
I think the league shouldn't have to be completed before the championship starts. Have them played alongside each other. Allow a proper mid season inter county break period where no inter county games played and allow players go back to clubs in that time and then have proper off season as well KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3499 - 02/01/2020 10:42:23 2256815 Link 0 |
