I dont see how there will be confusion cos not this season but the season after some teams will be in 2 different divisions. I think its possible that the fc divisions may be different but it depends on whether a 4 day competition is run or something.....

I also think that the teams should be placed in different divisions for 4d and 1d on their capabilities.

Well it seems the marjority of the votes are heading for different divisions for the different forms.

If your happy GB Iam will to run a FC comp where every team plays everyone and then the top 8 go into div 1 next 8 div 2 etc....

However if you do want this, it will put the season back a while as we can't start this comp until all the draft and trading have been completed so each team has their true squads.... also would you like it better if teams were randomly picked by the comp (alot quicker, could have the results in mins) or have every team summit 23 teams??? (i say this casue i can already here someone saying the comp didn't pick my stroongest team each round)

I dont think a comp where every team will play each other is realistic cos that would be too much. The random thing would also be kinda unfair for some teams. Ill try to think of a better comp and post it later.

It's about the fairest comp possible for the following reasons.

- It gives each team a chance to prove themself, eg a knockout style comp a team might just have a bad day and suddendly they find themselevs in Div 3

- Will give you a better idea of your players, who performs etc as I could keep a note of all records (both team and overall)

- Brings abit more extictement to WCC as nobody knows where they will be etc and would be a great build up to the season

- The random thing shouldn't be a problem because strongest teams are normally picked (everyone would be in the same boat so it's not unfair)

- Gives me something to do :P, and gives GB a slight rest

- A random comp could mean that Kent get NSW which would be unfair and with everyteam playing everyone means you will get a better picture of where a team fits in

- Random teams aren't a must, i willing to used managers teams if they ask for them, however some teams might like the idea of seeing how all their team memebers do.... might uncover a star they never knew they had :D

- I can't think of anything else at the momment

Ummm......i cant really think of a fair comp.....perhaps divide the teams into 6 groups of 4 teams and the teams will play each other team in the group once. The top teams could go to div 1 plus the next best according to points, if a tie then a playoff or something. In a sense this will kinda depend on what teams u get to play....so solve this by seeding the top 6 teams according to like what od division they are in and what their team is like etc.

The thing is that you'd need to run any games using GB's files as you have to be consistent. If you started your own VCM4 file, it would alter players abilities differently than GB's.

Well GB would send his copy of FC teams, and I would use that, no stats would change or any figures etc so it would be the same info as GB will use but the comp's figures would stay with me and wouldn't effect any players avg's etc in the WCC
