RISK Super League - Season 16 *COMPLETE, WINNER=SHOOP76*

by **MrBoom** on Tue Sep 12, 2023 12:40 pm

It's a shame to lose the Home map no-snap advantage for the Super League. It was a really clever idea that turned a problem into an opportunity!

If we're moving to single matchups, I'd prefer smaller overall game load every season.

Hi Craig25, i'm a bit overwhelmed by the thought of all the invites being sent out at all at once... the beauty of the current structure is that it creates a steady flow of games throughout the season and not to many all at once... it may mean people miss games as there are to many to play when you come on the site. Particularly if you are in clans and/or in other tournaments... I like the thought of bigger leagues although the smaller leagues means there is more jeopardy for each player.

I think you need to put some rationale in to why these significant changes.

These are just my thoughts as i read the message.

Hope you are enjoying your break!

Peace, Coyote.

If it ain't broke don't fix it... the 'Home' snap was a nice feature but not critical... I still like the idea of the home and away matches (rather than a bunch of neutral match ups)...

Presume when it talks about all invites being sent at same time that's invites in a Match Day - not the whole league in one?

All Invites at once, IN A MATCH UP

1) The idea of all games in one time might be not good..
It’s not good to have 2*2*19=38 games with 1v1 .. i prefer half of them in 1st day of the month, and the 2nd package 7-10-14 days later

2) once again, i highly recommend to scrape either ‘excluded maps’ or random maps.. because those random games could still bring those excluded maps. Remember, the idea of those excluded maps was taking a lot of time. So imagine Spanish Armada, adjacent could bring very long match.
I prefer to allow (Poly) (No Spoils/Flat-Rate) (Chained forts) for home maps. Inserting 20 round limit would fix all problems since games are sent ONE time, and bring all maps back

3) 20 leagues better than 19.
Groups in lowers division provide less amount of time (seasons) to catch the top tier.

1) You mis-understand. The order of play is listed in the Forum. Match Up Invites go out at the same time, Season's Invites are staggered over 2 Months.

2) Not relevant to the re-structure.

3) 19 Player Leagues Provide an 18 Match Up Season, to keep a Season within 2 Calendar Months. 19 Match Ups would require 4 Match Ups to be sent at once to keep it within 2 Months all of the year. (Jan+ Feb would pose a problem)

I would like to join the leauge. USA for my home map

I'll play, no preference for maps and settings, just like to play whatever comes. Slot me in anywhere.

Hey M8

You are already in and are in League 25 with Classic as your HOME Map. There were some Set Up issues in the Lower Leagues this Season. That is possibly why you are not playing this Season. CC sux when there's no Super League to play, I'm on a Rest Season and am bored stiff!

GL for next Season.

Congratulations Team Europe in the Ryder Cup.

Goes to show, not only do Europeans make the best Golfers, they also do RISK so much better too (as confirmed by the 1st Cc Ryder Cup).....
