Oh I forgot we are gonna have division 4 next season, I guess this is like nonleague football, where you can compete to be part of the league, or what comparison can we play from here
So does this mean no more 3A and 3B and just division 3?
Yup, no more Div 3A and Div3B, but a single Division 3 with buy-in fee and better rewards. Div4 will be the real amateur league now - it will be without buyins and will be played for freebets.
We are here to be "punished" or to bet... how many here actually do the
process... that is, they go check the odds and bet, there is a wager issue that needs to be considered in this league somehow, and remove that "nonsense" of eliminating players...
Each division should have the "VAR" of wager for negative points, and that's it, you want to get rid of the negative points, 1000$* of wager for each point... eliminating players should not be the objective... the process is lost, well for those of us who really do it...
What just happened in the division 3A is absolutely inappropriate
I do agree that elimination is the last step - the 'problem' with BSFL is that it is H2H so it is a problem when people forget to submit.
That means that it is better to have less committed players than a lot but ones that are not really committed.
We are trying to solve this problem season after season, where the rewards are low people will naturally forget or be lazy to do it. As BSFL grows, it will be 'professional' for more and more people - we believe that Division 3 in Season 6 will be a lot more serious than Divisions 3A and 3B are currently.
We tried to find the best solution for things like these, but if you miss 3 out of 15 games you simply can't be a part of a H2H competition - because it ruins the experience for everyone else.
There is also no way people would pay any penalties in lower leagues. Maybe club selling will now make some of them step up a league or two - we will see.

In competitions like these changes have to be slow - because we cannot change the rules mid-season. In 5 years we haven't really lost a lot of players, and we lost only one (casperBGD) in the leagues that have a buy-in fee. Therefore we don't really feel that the elimination rule is too strict - but it is a shame when we do lose a player.
