CCSL: End of Season Review / Season 17 Preview

25 New Players join the Super League for Season 17. You join us just as the existing Season is closing, with the NEW SEASON due to KICK OFF 1st January. Usually by this point in the Season, almost everything is decided, but this Season............LATE DRAMA is unfolding!

To make sense of this, have a quick squint of the Rules and Check out the 'LIVE' Scoreboards on this link. In-fact, you might as well add the link to your Bookmarks because within 3 weeks you will be checking in on them on a daily basis. Within 6 weeks you will be Analysing them to within an inch of their life! Final Leagues for this Season are on the 2nd Tab, and Leagues for the NEW SEASON are on the 1st Tab:


The finer detail you will pick up as you go along!

So, without further ado............

8,440 Season 17 Games took place. This Made up 2,110 Match Ups. All that remain are 22 Games un-finished and these cover 19 Part Finished Match Ups. 24 of 26 Leagues are decided.......2 are still to be called! 1 of which is The Premier League!

The PREDICTED RESULTS could affect the Finishing Spots of 21 Players, but usually, the Result is already clear as a Player has a HUGE advantage, or, the result cannot effect finishing Spots either way. USUALLY.........this Season, it maybe different!

Premier League Average Rank: 2433 Runners: 20 Prize: 1200 Cr
2 Games un-finished here. FOED's Finest'Awoodness v 'Gladiator' GeeksAreMyPeeps which is one of those games where the result is irrelevant. Geeks is 3-0 UP and regardless what happens in the last game, it is'nt going to save either of them from a 1 League Relegation. But on the positive side, it can't get any worse either. RELEGATION, for New Players this is the equivalent of the Players who did not get Relegated from that League telling you your not good enough to play at their level. It's horrible! But this Super League is a Tough Gig!
The other un-finished game game COULD DECIDE THE TITLE! shoop76 'The GOAT' is currently 2-1 UP versus maroshka851 'The Knife'. If shoop76 WINS that 4th Game, he picks up 2 Points and is the OUTRIGHT WINNER of Season 16 of the Super League, this would be his 4th TITLE in a ROW and the 3rd PREMIER TITLE in a Row. Not only that, it would return him to the TOP of the HALL of FAME, the ALL-TIME LEADERBOARD of the GREATEST PLAYERS in SUPER LEAGUE HISTORY (currently topped by yours Trully....craig25, but I digress). The un-finished game is on HIVE.....33 Rounds played and the truth is, it's still tighter than a Badgers Arse! (I have no real experience on Badgers Arses but this is common hearsay). 22891833 is the Game Number. On the face of it, it looks like 'The Goat' is in front. But, you only get a MAX 12 Troops regardless of Territory Count, and on Bonuses, 'The Knife' has been getting a bigger bonus for the last 6 Rounds. If that continues, he will probably go on to win......But, The Shoopster has an extra card, but, as he has 5 of them theres a chance he was waiting for a Rainbow and didn't get it. But regardless, The Super League Shifts and a call has to be made to bring the Season to a close. And the call goes in maroshka851's favour. FINAL PREDICTED SCORE........THE DESSIES......2-2
This gives shoop76 a Point and that put's him in JOINT 1st at the Top of the Super League. shoop76 (7th Seed), 'The Power' aaronvollrath (2nd Seed) & Avi8or 'Is Flying' (5th Seed) all have 26 Points........we go to a TIE-BREAKER.........
TIE BREAKERS:
1. Points - All 3 are drawn on 26 Points!
2. Goal Difference - 'The Power' aaronvollrath with a +10 Goal Difference finishes in 3rd. With both 'The Goat' and Avi8or on +14 Goal Differnce it's still a Tie for 1st!
3. Highest Number of 4-0 Wins - With 'The Goat' shoop76 ahead on this one 4 v 2..............

WE HAVE A SEASON 16 CHAMPION..............
COMPLETING a 4 TIMER.............
3 PREMIER TITLES in a ROW.........THE TREBLE!

Ladies and Gentlemen, our REIGNING SUPER LEAGUE CHAMPION............... The Dutch Destroyer, Dances Like a Butterfly Stings Like a Bee, the Death Dealer, 'The GOAT', 'The Shoopster'................

SHOOP76

A Huge CONGRATULATIONS! Trully a Tournament MACHINE! He returns to the Top of the Hall of Fame too and can only be over taken by 1 player next Season. It would take another Premier Title for craig25 to wrestle back control of the Hall of Fame. Next Season he goes for the QUADRUPLE, an un-heard of 4 Premier Titles in a ROW! And Bookmakers have him down as the 7/2 FAV in a 20 Player Premier League to do it! REMARKABLE! His plan will be the same as every other Season, keep himself in contention, finish the Season like a TRAIN!
Commiserations to 'The Power' aaronvollrath and Avi8or 'Is Flying'. The Super League is the hardest title to win in CC History and losing on a TIE-BREAKER is as close as you can get to winning it. Next Season they go again and are strongly fancied to go 1 better next Season. Both are priced at 7/1.

Behind the 3 Joint Leaders we had a Group of 5 Players who formed a chasing pack! All within 3 Points of the Leaders Point count.....
Wheelwright 'The Canadian Cricketer'
Ukey 'The Great War Champ, A 2 Yr CC Tourney that never Ended!'
'The Mouth' Clanlord Carl
'Lord of your Ring' Bilbo1_OC
bamage 'Does the Damage'

After them, there were 6 Players who were all a MAXIMUM of 3 Points away from RELEGATION:
big jumbo 'Jet'
Tviorr 'The Tiddler'
sportsgod24 'Hermes'
Pajarito 'The Mexican Bandito'
maroshka851 'The Knife'
loenatiek 'The otherDutch Destroyer'


Then we get down to the bottom 6, and in the bottom 6 of the Premier,it's RELEGATION! Dropping 1 League:
'Not the Real' Runeldo (who got off to such a great start by beating shoop76 at the start of the Season)
'FOED's Finest'Awoodness
'Gladiator' GeeksAreMyPeeps

After them, the DOUBLE MUNTERS finishing in 18th and 19th, Dropping 2 Leagues:
'The Engine' Anila8 (taking a REST SEASON to recover!)
"Up the O's" Keefie who looked certain to fill the MOON DOOR but some how managed to avoid it!

And Last but not Least, On 9 Points molespe 'The Templar of Doom' had a Season 16 NIGHTMARE! He takes the MOON DOOR (Game of Thrones Style) and hurtles down 3 Leagues and re-starts his campaign for SUPER LEAGUE GLORY in Super League 02 Next Season!

What another AMAZING SEASON in the TOP LEAGUE, well done all! The only other League not called so far is.......

League 24 Average Rank: 906 Runners: 8
3 Games to be predicted and NONE of them were close! Our bottom League this Season was a mixture of Journeymen Super League Players and New Players looking to get their Super League Challenge started! And in this one, the TIE-BREAKER went all the way! 'The Scythe' Slim Reaper & chesspi64were locked in battle all Season. And when the final scores were added......NOTHING Could seperate them! Well......almost nothing!
TIE BREAKERS:
1. Points - Both racked up 22 from 14 Match Ups!
2. Goal Difference - Both had a +14 Goal Difference!
3. Highest Number of 4-0 Wins - Both had 4!
4. Highest Number of 3-1 Wins - Both had 3!
5. Lowest Total Game Duration of All the CURRENT Seasons games***
Chesspi64: 489.19 Days Total Duration of ALL this Seasons Games........
Slim Reaper: 444.03 Days Total Duration of ALL Seasons Games.......
By the SMALLEST OF MARGINS......and the 1st TIE-BREAKER to go all the way..............
Slim Reaper takes the GLORY, the 3 League SUPER PROMOTION, BOOKS His Place in Super League History, is adored by RISK Players the world over.........
chesspi64 still has the Coolest Nick Name in the Super League.......'Hard Core Pawn'.......Everyones a winner!

Also, very boring. Of the 22 PREDICTED RESULTS, all were either a clear call or the Result could have no bearing on places in the League. Not even shoops Premier Result mattered! So still no controversy in the Predicted Scores and 2 Month Seasons!

Of the other HIGHLIGHTS in the Season. We cannot forget *Pixar* 'The Movie Maker'. He started late in the Super League, and in 6 Seasons he had ot lost a Title Race! He was in League 03 this Season, what happened??? He absolutely PINGED IT! 33 Points from 18 Match Ups, he finished 7 clear at the top! So that's him equalled the 7 TIMER WIN STREAK RECORD......This Season, he plays to break the Record! He needs to do it in The Championship which has 9 Players, all with an average rank of 2364 so his toughest test yet!

Another notable WIN STREAK is 2085 Ranked dar2play. A bit behind *Pixar* but he SCUDDED League 15 last Season, that was added to his L19, 22 and 25 Titles so he's up to a 4 TIMER! 4 League Titles in a row and no sign of letting up. League 12 this Season has an Average Rank of 1875 and 10 Runners. So continuing the Streak is not going to be easy!

Our Hghest Placed INVINCIBLE this Season was in Super League 16 and it was 'The Femme Fatale' emilywink. 14 Match Ups with 9 WINS, 5 Draws and ZERO Defeats. What a Season. She got high in the Super League at her 1st attempt. Dropped out, re-entered and she's already in the Top Half of the League. Can she make it to the very Top though??? Only time will tell!

In League 18 sealordgalandral was another INVINCIBLE! 16 Match Ups, 13 WINS, 3 Draws and ZERO Defeats. His 2nd Title on the Trot too! There's a theme here, anybody with a Lord of the Rings themed Username is usually a handy RISK Player.............so watch out!

YouOnKazoo was also a Season 16 INVINCIBLE, 16 Match Ups, 10 WINS, 5 Draws, ZERO Defeats. Won his League easily, goes in League 16 next Season. Congratulations!

Super League 21, 1st Seed Heads or tails was also a League Winning INVINCIBLE! 15 WINS, 3 Draws. You need to have a bit of class to produce that sort of scoring record over a Season. He's going to be mighty tough to beat in League 18 next Season!

In Super League 22 Serram also pulled off an INVINCIBLE Season. To many Draws cost him though. 5 Wins and 7 Draws meant he only finished as the Runner Up but going through an entire Season un-beaten is not an easy feat to accomplish. Well done!

CCSL: Season 17 KICK OFF

Around about this time tomorrow, just in time for the HANG-OVERS really Kicking In..........ESQuire will set up the 1st 3 Match Ups of Season 17 of The Super League!

12 Games set up for most Players (Match Days 1-3, each Match Day having 4 Games each)

This Season, 286 Players compete over 28 Leagues containing 2,282 Match Ups and 9,128 Games. For those of you who don't know, Super League Players have made every Season the largest CC Event in CC HISTORY, and there has been 17 of them!

For NEW PLAYERS, you might not think so, but, you will end up ANALYSING the 'LIVE' League Tables within an inch of their life, so BOOKMARK/FAV them now:

1st Tab - League Tables for the coming Season.
2nd Tab - Premier Score Grid
3rd Tab - Every other Score Grid
4th Tab - Results & Fixtures (You can see who your opening Match Ups are against)
5th Tab - WIN STREAKS - See the Players who have won multiple League Titles in a Row
6th Tab - Average Rank - Average Rank of participant in all Super Leagues, compare how hard your League is likely to be. League 24 is a KILLER!
7th Tab - Hall of Fame - The best Players since the Super League inception back in 2020

Have a quick squint at the rules before KICK OFF, if they don't make perfect sense now, they will do in about 2 weeks time:

Every Season, the Premier League is a big deal, 20 of the best 2 Player RISK Players battle it out over 2 Months, 19 Match Ups and 76 Games. All to produce 1 Super League CHAMPION who takes down a 1200 Conquer Credit Winners Cheque. And this Season is no different. Bets are being taken before the KICK OFF. Credits must ne transferred to me with a Mail detailing who your credits are on. Here are this Seasons runners and riders:

7/2 FAV: 'The Goat' shoop76 - 7/2 to win a 20 Player League says it al. They don't call The Shoopster 'The Goat' for nothing........He's on a WIN Streak of winning 4 Leagues on the bounce, that last 3 being 'The Treble' - 3 Premier Leagues on the Trot!

7/1 Jnt 2nd FAV: 'The Power' aaronvollrath - Jnt 2nd last Season and He has also done a 6 Timer to get him to the Top Leagues!

7/1 Jnt 2nd FAV: Avi8or 'Is Flying' - Jnt 2nd last Season and He has done a 7 TIMER to get him to the Top Leagues. Winning 7 Title races on the Trot is not an easy thing to do!

7/1 Jnt 2nd FAV - Craig25 'aka Lex Fu*king Luthor' - Was TOP of The HALL of FAME for about 5 minutes last Season until 'The Goat' won another Premier Title. Already 2 Premier Titles in the bag, needs a 3rd to return to the Top of the Hall of Fame.

10/1: 'The Skewer' ESQuire - Ex Premier Champion, 4th in the Hall of Fame, Fancied for a Top 4 Finish, but, can He go all the way???

10/1:'The Mouth' Clanlord Carl - If Trash Talk won you Titles then Carl would be The Super League KING! Seeded 4th, he's had multiple cracks at the Title and failed in them all. Has completed a 7 Timer though....could this be his Season?

12/1:big jumbo 'Jet' - 5th in the Hall of Fame, Seeded 19th of 20. But the Bookmakers think the 'Jet' could do something this Season!

16/1: 'The Howler' direwolf - 4 Top Titles, Seeded 20th though. A Dark Horse to take the biggest Title of them all!

16/1: Ukey 'The Great War Champ, A 2 Yr CC Tourney that never Ended!' - 12th Seed, Ex-Champ priced at 16/1 Ukey will surely draw in a lot of Bets!

16/1: maroshka851 'The Knife' - Has completed a 6 Timer, Was battling it out at the Top of the Premier for much of last Season. But had a bit of a collapse near the end. Another Dark Horse already attracting money.

16/1: bamage 'Does the Damage' - 3 Top Titles to his name, what's to say, if you bet on this Guy you will probably get a run for your money!

20/1: 'The Tiddler' Tviorr - The 10th Seed, faced a set back by getting KO'd in Round 9 of 'The Cup' recently. Highest League he has won is Super LEague 05 so many are questioning if he has the SKILL to do it at the Top Level...........

20/1: Pajarito 'The Mexican Bandito' - Ex-Champ, 16th Seed, Is 20/1 too high for an Ex-Champ, I guess we are going to find out!

25/1: 'The Gubber' gubarretto - 11th Seed, Highest League won is Super League 03. Another 1 of the Dark Horses who has already had a bet placed on him.

25/1: Buzz199 'Lightyear' - 7th Highest Ranked Player in The Super League, but Super League 04 is his highest Title won to date. A great option if you want to back a long shot!

25/1: Bilbo1_OC 'Lord of your Ring' - OOOFFTTTT, have the Bookmakers made a mistake here? Bilbo is THE HIGEST RANKED Player in the Super League yet he's priced at 25/1. If he attracts a bet, his price will crash so get it while you can!

25/1: Wheelwright 'The Canadian Cricketer' - 5th Seed, but as he has only ever won 2 Title, he's priced along with Bilbo at 25/1.

25/1: 'Hermes' sportsgod24 - Another Long Shot, Only ever won 4 League Titles, but you never know, the Dice Gods could be with him this Season.....

28/1: loenatiek 'The Dutch Destroyer' - 1 Solitary Title, 17th Highest Ranked Player, that's why he's 28/1

33/1 Rank Outsider: 'The Capital King' JJ41375 - GRINDED his way through the Leagues to reach the Premier. The Bookies do not fancy him to break his duct this Season. 33/1 is available if you think differently!

Okay Troops, Bets placed BEFORE KICK OFF are the only bets being accepted.

GOOD LUCK for the Season. If any NEW PLAYERS have any questions, just ask any Super League Player that has been around for a bit and they'll help you out.

Id say keep the same rules.. even with auto-snap.. one can get an unlucky streak on only 3 games so its good to get a 2nd chanse on 3 more later on..
getting or not getting the snap never was a huge advantage anyways compared to who goes 1st..

I totally agree with anonymus, personally as well I’d say the current setup is extremely enjoyable too

Not sure what the alternatives will be, and I am all for a larger Premier League, but the current set up is something I do like.

Hi folks, i'm unsure as to the reasons for the change... there is something about playing someone twice that makes this work. Auto snap would be a nice addition though. The main issue is people going first get a better shot at winning, although not sure there is much that could be done about that!

I think fewer but larger leagues would be good.

Currently, in a league of 10 we play 9 players in 4 games 2 times. 9 x 4 x 2 = 72

If had leagus of 24 players and played 1 home game, 1 away game and 1 random against 23 opponents only once then we would each play 69 [wahey!] games.

I agree with anonimous comment. Let's keep the same rules - The snap does not change things much, the main difference is the advantage of playing your favourite map when playing "home".
If you want to speed up the tournament, I suggest to limit the number of rounds per game to 20 or 30, as well as allowing players to resign after 10 rounds.

Completely agree with keeping the games as is and PL table relatively the same 10-12.

Having an autosnap doesnt change much as it is all about the home maps. Just means you could release to both players at the same time.

Dang. Would really prefer that it stayed the way it was. - Its a bit wonky, but I like it. - Auto snap is generally a good thing,

but is it completely impossible that it could be disabled for a tourney by the tourney organizer, or even just for the Super League and Cup??

Other than that, I also like the current format even if we cant have the auto snap disabled for the Super League/cup. 2 home games and 2 random games make for a home game feeling that would be lost, if it was all comprimated into some sort of single face off containing both home and away maps - whatever the exact setup might end up on. - I think that enough home game advantage remains to justify keeping it home and away.

On a slightly different note, if CC could put in a feature for tourneys where first and second turns could be decided in the tourney settings then it would be interesting to remove the luck factor here. - Interesting possibilities would open. - The most obvious would be to do 1 home and 1 random with first turn and 1 home and 1 random with second turn, but with the current set up of home and away matches, the home advantage could be driven home by doing a 3-1 first turn advantage (preferably 2 first turns on the randoms then, or even 4-0 first turn advantage for the home games. - I would think 4-0 (or rather 2 first turns on home maps) would have unintende consequenses as maps can be chosen where first turn is an almost overwhelming advantage (Mogul is certainly one such), so doing 2 set first turns on both home maps would lead to competitive players choosing the same 5-10 home maps. - I digress though. This isnt possible presently and I havent heard any cc plans to explore this. Just for future reference, though, Im thinking a 3-1 first turn home game advantage with 1 first turn on the home map and 2 first turns on random maps would be very interesting. - It could also be possible to do 5 games in a match and have 3 random games with 2-1 first turn advantage.

Again most of it not relevant, but I happen to live in a dimension slightly different to the normal one, so :P

I agree, I think the rules are good as is and the whole auto-snap issue is overrated.

This is a great idea, some of the games can run insanely long.

I agree with most of the above comments, leave it as is even with the auto-snap. The format works well and the only change will be expediting the invite system, but having two matches against each player in the group is appreciated.

If we go to a limit of the number of rounds per game to 20 or 30 then we could include all maps if we make it 20.

What the man says. Doesn't have to change a thing unless you want it to change a thing.

"Just means you could release to both players at the same time." = that's all it means really

Based on what I've read so far, I think keep it the same number of players in each league and agree auto snap doesn't really impact things as much. I also like the idea of bringing in 20 round limits with a resign option and in turn opening up all maps.

I would agree with others - why not just keep it as it is? I find the BoBSL thoroughly enjoyable and I don't think the auto snap stuff will make that much of a difference

I am with most that have written here: keep it as it is, since the autosnap doesn´t really change much. But I think that the question of who has the first turn need to be addressed, maybe by CC as a whole, because in many maps the outcome is really decided in the first turn!

[b]Maps[/b]

Since there are maps which are excluded (for lengthy reasons) , i think Random maps/games should be excluded for the same reasons.. because these excluded maps still can appear in random..

A home game should be (4 home maps)

Or either make most maps available with round limit.
