    Thinking of any suggestions that guys might have for Season 5.

    Provincial stuff should be complete this week, Club stuff and N/S should kick off next week and finish the week after.

    So, Season 5 contracts should open in early March.

    Does anyone have any sensible suggestions for Season 5?

    Ideas I've had:

    1. Split the Provincial season. Half the draw at the halfway point of the club season.
    2. Potentially split NSW City and NSW Country. Should even up the odds a bit in the sub-provincial tournament, but would probably need about half a dozen more NSW regos to be viable.
    3. Each team (both provincial and club) can set their own start-time for matches to suit them the best. Won't provide any simming advantages, but should hopefully mean more home team players are on line for the matches, rather than choosing a time which suits me.

    Any trolling suggestions or blatant silliness will be infracted.

    Setting game times in stone at the start of the season imo. Dock points if lineups don't happen and play the most likely team. A genuine schedule would be gun.

    Yeah, that would be nice but ain't gonna happen.

    Making the commentary look more appealing? Although I'm just a lazy cunt but adding a bit of colour to certain plays and shit would make me read the commentary

    Cribb can do that, I cannot. So I'd say that's unlikely. Tries and penalties are already highlighted so they stand out so you can track back and see plays which led to the try, but I'm not sure what else you'd want to stand out tbh.

    I'd appreciate if perhaps there was a voiced stream of the commentary, I reckon I'd probably listen to that.

    Player rankings which constantly update would be nice although it might be hard to do. Currently it's somewhat hard to ascertain how good a particular player is compared to the rest. Basically something similar to what we have for the cricket sim.

    Apologies if this was already suggested/implemented.

    I run my own version of these to help me select the NSW team. I could make them public, but then I'd be giving away my advantage a bit. I'd want to have a chat to Heef about what he thinks the standard difference is between all the different competitions as well if I was going to release it.

    How do your rankings work exactly?

    In terms of an ordering of quality, It'd be:

    Test
    North/South
    Regional (GB/NZ/Aus)
    Club First Grade
    Sub-Provincial
    Club Reserve Grade

    Things are thrown out a bit by some big differentials in those groups though - NSW being much better than the other Sub-provinces, for example. I can work out an average expected comparative standard for each of those levels if necessary. Wouldn't take too long - probably about an hour.

    They work based off the scores out of 10 you give each player. Standardised averages are worked out based on recency of matches played and quality of opposition. Quality of opposition at the moment is just based on the average rating out of ten per player against that opposition in a given season though, so obviously standard of competition hasn't been factored in - just how good each team is in the context of that competition.

    Yeah, that's already been catered for.

    I basically just need some numbers to equate the competitions. So if you gave North v South an index of 1.0, regional stuff could be worth 0.95 for example (just a guess/example, could be way off) and that means a score of 9 in a regional match would be worth a score of 8.55 in a NvS game.

    If I have to play for City in another sim I'll be livid.

  14. HeathDavisSpeed HT Davis

    Yeah. I can work that out easily enough. Weighted averages are a piece of piss.

    I'd wager it'd look something like:

    Test - 15
    North/South - 20
    Regional (GB/NZ/Aus) - 30
    Club First Grade - 40
    Sub-Provincial - 85
    Club Reserve Grade - 100

    Why not run provincial stuff alongside the club stuff like cricsim does?

  16. Cribbage RG Cribb

    I only do that for scheduling reasons, so we can have one round of CricSim per week without making the season actually go for 8 months. If I was scheduling CricSim like Heath does Seasonal Rugby I'd rather have them done separately.

    Would NZ A and GB Saxons going into sub-provincial be feasable or would we smash everyone making it a waste of time?

    How many blokes have you actually got registered each for NZ and GB Heef? Maybe they could have sub-provincial tournaments of their own. You've obviously got enough for two sides for a start; if you could figure out an equal split for the players that made some sort of logical sense, it'd probably be more interesting than seeing A teams play against each other every week.
