    Related to Heef's point - the timing of the thing. You've said that this won't force anyone to move, so it'll effectively be a restriction on transfers rather than skill. So that means that teams that took advantage of ruthless recruiting before the ban will be made better off with official backiong. For example, last season the Vipers signed two of the best players there are, relegating two decent players to ALC, not because they needed to but because they wanted to go for the title. That'd be almost certainly banned under the new system. But because they'd already done that, it'd mean they'd be allowed to sit pretty at the top while not allowing other clubs to challenge them.

    Reading through the last few pages it's pretty obvious what clubs would be cunts.

    Who would that be? It wouldn't be Storer and Devonshire would it - the players who went to the Allstars and ended up in ALC there instead?

    There has been nothing wrong with the Vipers recruitment at all. They actually have very poor depth tbh.

    But no one else can recruit anyone to beat the Vipers because that'll make their ALC team stacked :sarcasm:

    Not to mention their president is a homo.

    FMD. I will happily recruit members that would make us better (and have done so), but not if somebody that is currently at the club and stated their desire to stay will be forced out/to ALC because of it. That's all.

    What if that person was Eds?

    None of this is helping, really.

    I'd quite like to see some incentivisation for bringing in new players. Something to reward people "doing the right thing" rather than restrictions on movements.

    I'm not sure how it would work, but some kind of small boost for the whole team for the more home-grown players you play. Or for playing at your original club. I guess you could relate it to "Team Spirit" and playing for the team you love.

    I can completely understand the annoyance at certain recruitment, but I don't think it's something that should be eradicated. The season end rumour mill is one of the best bit of the off season and it would be a shame to see it lost. But other ways of rewarding "good recruitment" would be a better way to deal with this issue.

    Another suggestion would be for each club to find at least one new rookie each season before you'll start the season. A youth recruitment drive for each club, if you will.

    Look, you already have by far the best batting lineup - far better than theirs. Recruiting more batsmen forevermore is not going to make your team better than theirs; it'll just make the competition shit.

    And yeah, you know what? If the Pumas finish second instead of first, I don't give a fuck. And the new attitude of clubs that a 0.00000000001% improvement in your own club is worth a 5% decline in the competition is a whole will definitely make me start applying things with the exact same logic from my perspective. You wanna play hard ball, you got it buddy.

    I don't think there was anything wrong with their recruitment either. They pulled it off really well. But you're talking about stopping people doing the same thing a season later.

    What if I sign for the pumas and don't play at all?

    Storer who played 15 of the BS games for the Allstars this season and Devo who started out in BS but whose form didn't warrant retention at that level?

  13. Cribbage RG Cribb

    I'm not though, at all. That's the point. They didn't recruit BS standard players into ALC - Storer and Devonshire left the club.

    Whether they played ALC or BS at the Allstars, they definitely didn't play ALC at the Vipers.

  16. HeathDavisSpeed HT Davis

    I get the feeling they only left because the Allstars were returning though? And would have/may have stayed if the new club was a different one. Anyway, hypotheticals and still no help.

    I totally agree with Heef. Incentives to stay at clubs are far better than punishments for doing the opposite.

    Look I think it is a club presidents role to do the best he can for his club in terms of performances and atmosphere, and it's cribbs job to do the best he can for the competition. The two groups need not feel the same way about everything. The fact that regulations are required just indicates that the best thing for the club may not always be the best thing for the competition. At that point it is the role of the president to do his best for the club within the regulations. If the regulations that cribb puts in place breed disparity by their nature I am sure he will listen to reason because complete disparity is not for the good of the competition.

    Regardless of what system Cribb brings in, I still think incentivisation is a good move. Whether that be a slight incremental boost to your player for each season you stay at a club or whether it's a boost for homegrown players, incentivisation encourages clubs to find new regos and then retain them.

    For the record, I don't actually mind either approach. What bothers me is that the change from one system to the other might leave some clubs prepared and others less so.
