Subject: Ireland - Own Leagues & NT

Good point borderfox. Also, my bad. I was very tired when I wrote my last post. I had been in contact with tuttle, not vlady. Ha!

Well he is actually also the head guy for the ppm magazine so maybe he could help too. Put an article up for us or something. Drum up support.

Sorry guys, Im just back online now after last night.

Got your PM's BF, tnx m8.

Ill get onto the right people tonight and see whats next with this issue.

Will keep you all in the loop!

No Problem. Let me know if you need anything else.

Hey guys

Just wanted to let you know that I hope you get your own leagues and NT, and let me know if I can do anything (besides moving to Ireland)

Thanks Henrik for the support!

Hello guys,

We have been thinking about creating the Irish leagues of course. But the problem is that you guys don't have a captain and there is a risk that the number will drop below 50. We've had similar experience with Israel and Chile in the past. It looks as though you will have to wait at least another season.

Too bad about the wait, Ireland.
In the meantime, I made a list because I like them...

Should Ireland have got its own leagues now, and the method was a direct filter-up method, it would be quite sides towards the front of the tree. Here is what I have:

I.1:
The Zephyr Raiders, Kerry's Killers, HC Bohemians Dublin, SLOVAK REPUBLIC, HbC TORNADO Sekcov, Honda team, Assasins, DeVesci, marksyp, Swords Gladiators, Senisters, Junkys, BlackDevils., Wolwes, Kosicke Tigre, Zikkoteam., The Prowlers, HBC RED BARONS PRESOV, HC MOZART TEAM TYCHY, westhmeath pumas†, NEVEZIS†

II.1:
HC Velky Meder, AS OLSZTYN, ZPA PRESOV, Gaillimhe Zilonis, Detroit Red Wings 2010, STARS DALLAS, HC RIPCURL, HugaboIH, play_all, QUICK HANDS DUBLIN,
DinamoLv, Team noname 27399, Team noname 26609, Mammut, Salavat Yulaev Fiiha, Athlone Town Hockey Club, Team noname 26381, Klumburi, Team noname 27341, Ruckingood

II.2:
Mullingar LIONS, Metalurg Castleknock, Team noname 26833, HC Kinlay House, HC Snina Snipers, Team noname 26836, HC Drevotrieska Myjava, Team noname 26283, HC Landsdale, HardCore Gang, HC asticka, Team noname 26771, Crazy weasels, Pikes, DrunkenBastards, J's Shooter's, polomsky vlci

Best of luck next season in getting your own leagues!
Someone needs to step up to be a Captain - I thought that was in the works which was why the leagues were being sought after.

Hi Vlady,

Im happy to take on the role as National captain.
Can I go through you with this, or someone else?

Cheers

Thanks for your input Temm, appreciated mate

Hey Temm....how did you make your list? I like lists too and this is a nice one.....as it has me up one more division.....where I would certainly be pwnd!

Mostly a manual process.
1. Browse through playoff pages for Other World and note positions.
2. Discard teams from countries other than Ireland.
3. Order teams in order they finished, with the exception that demoting teams go after teams promoting at the same time across the same boundary.
4. Filter up the remaining teams by playoff rank in their individual divisions into where they would go if they promoted.

I made one for the firs bit of Other World without the Irish teams - that one certainly is of more effort.

I'm guessing if they did this, if wouldn't be a full filter up like above. It'd work for rung I, but the remaining teams would probably be dispersed evenly in rung II, with no rung III.

Yeah - Prowlers would fly right up there. The teams I listed after yours didn't rank as well in their respective divisions.

Too bad about not getting your own leagues for a while. I wonder if there are other solutions that could work. Not having a NT cuts into the national pride and the level of involvement new managers feel. I wonder if there could be a separate tournament for Other World countries. That way no extra leagues need to be created, the Other World divisions don't need to be pillaged of its Irish, Israeli, and Chilean teams, and players in small countries could enjoy an NT tournament as well.

We could also have regional leagues, rather than national ones. Maybe we Chinese, Japanese and Korean managers could set aside our historical differences and rise to international glory while making PPM more entertaining for people in our countries at the same time.

It would be nice to see a new country with its own league and a national team. Ireland has many users and they deserve their league, but in the meantime I think that the best solution is to create a national team for the rest of the world. PPM will grow with more users and slowly new leagues and NT will be created. I'm sure that a NT for Rest of the World is accepted by almost all PPM users.

I'm for you guys!!
