This may indicate that the game should be removed if the only reason people play it is obligation. Removing it could mean that we fill its spot in with something people actually want to play instead.


Why can't it simply be one of the games played in the new monthly rotation system? I don't see why any game would have to be removed.

I'm with the "keep it but rotate it" group. Some people really like that game. Including me. I didn't know I was any good at geography until I joined FT!

There is no need for anyone to suggest (or defend) the extermination of any game.

The only game getting chopped is the "TVT Game", and it is being replaced by "TVT Leagues"

All other games I feel have sufficient usage and following at this time to remain in our lineup.

What does that mean? I thought "TVT Leagues" is a description of the new competition structure. Is "TVT Leagues" a game? Is it scored like Heroes?

It's been 106 months of play since this thread was instituted, triggered by a member's question about having a Team of the Year award. (Does anyone know who it was? Almost nine years... someone could probably dig it out in the depths of the forums).

The system has survived for this time with only one minor tweak to scoring in 2016 (and the abolition of the 100+ member-league) although the spreadsheet I used to make these became increasingly complex and automated over the years. Where initially, I had to check the movement up and down the tables by hand and adjust the columns for display as well, it's become a mostly automated thing that took about 5 minutes of running a few things for the monthly and 10 for the cumulative.

Still, I'm not too sad to see it go because it's not gone but rather grown up into a flexible, encompassing team league system for the future. But before we get to that, let's take a final look at the Hall of Fame. These are the 23 teams who survived these 106 months (that's an eternity on the internet where many sites and games last far shorter), scoring more than 75% of the available points in that time.

Code:
1.	*	The Joli Llamas            	104,990.81	99.048%
2.	*	classicalmusic/mensan      	100,753.07	95.050%

5.	*	Funsters                   	96,287.58	90.837%
6.	*	Kindred Spirits            	95,418.09	90.017%
7.	^1	Worldwide Wizards          	95,350.43	89.953%

Yes, the Joli Llamas have really taken it here. Out of 106,000 available points, they missed just 1,010.

But wait. Why stop at 23? This is the end (and the beginning), right? So, for everyone's enjoyment, here is the rest of the final scoring table of this now retired system. All the remaining four hundred and forty-six teams, from the "almost made the Hall" group all the way to the one-month, one-player wonders.

The League Cup will first be given out on October 1... to those who do best during the September season smile

Oh, heret's what it (and its smaller cousins for 2nd to 5th) will look like. The top 5 annual and eternal teams are cordially invited to put a replica on their team messageboard during September smile

Let me just brag on the Worldwide Wizards a little bit for climbing up to 7th place in the all-time ranks. When I was bonked on the head as leader in 2013, the Wizards were completely off that list, down below 37th place.

Just for the heck of it, here are the Team of the Year threads with the final ranks so you don't have to go hunting for them like I did:

I usually consider myself an intelligent person. I have read through all this discussion of the reformatting of the team competition into leagues and seem to be missing something that should be pretty obvious. In leagues, teams usually know what games they're playing. In the NBA, for example, they don't show up to the stadium wearing pads and helmets.

Could someone *clearly* answer this?

What games are we supposed to be playing? All I've seen is that TvT is being phased out.

If the games that figure into the standings differ by league, then please state the criteria for each league directly and succinctly. Does the *number* of times a certain game is played in the month (by either individual players or the team as a whole) matter at all?

Terry states this more clearly in the other thread about Team v. Team Stats. The games will rotate (whether randomly or deliberately was not indicated) so that there will be a different set of eight games each month, with Team Heroes and the Daily Game being locked in as regular games every month. So while we don't know NOW what games will be counted, we will soon.

You can think of the system a bit like gymnastics and compare the individual games to exercises. Every month feature a selection of games from the complete spectrum and different divisions might be playing different games.

Right now, not everything is fully in place yet (the system officially starts September 1), but you can check https://www.funtrivia.com/templates/teamlist.cfm to see the games currently featured in each division.

Finding out the right games will be made a lot easier by the time of the real launch: Your team info page will highlight the standings in the currently featured games near the top and the plan is also to have those pages that currently feature the "played" check marks (the "games" page and some views of the homepage) to get a new symbol on league games you could currently play (i.e. that are featured for your league and you haven't played them during the current period).

It's embarrassing not to explain the rules of the game until *after* the game has started. I've seen nothing *clear* at all. It is like showing up to an NBA game and being told by the refs "We're still working on the rules -play ball!"

Embarrassing!

Thank you for your feedback. It's still five days to the start however, so I would appreciate if you reserved comments like "embarrassing" until then.

I ask you: What good would it be if I wrote and published a detailed treatment of aspect X of the game only to have to change it all again tomorrow because a key number or feature is changing? Or having an unfinished version of the text reposted to several team boards or monthly team newsletters where then players would use the wrong copy because they aren't all checking the forums?

As you may have seen, I have posted a lot of stuff in the last days, including detailed explanations of the things I am reasonably certain WILL release just exactly how I have described them - such as the "top 100" based scoring with the 120 maximum points.

We have chosen a short changeover window in order not to shut down team competition for a whole month. That also means that the formal rules documentation will have to come near the end of that transition period when we can be certain that everything is going to be as described. Not at the start.

That would be a nifty feature! I like that idea.

Could you please explain to this bear of little brain whether it is necessary for at least 8 players to take part in a game to be scored? With only 26 active members, which is a very stable membership, we frequently have fewer players in some of these games.

No, all your scores will be counted even if you have fewer than eight. It's more of a problem for a big team like mine when we get 40 playing and only eight count.

Actually Bear, it's not more of a problem with a large team. Your large team is more likely to have at least 8 players play each quiz each day, and more likely to have scores in the top 100 (the ones that really benefit score wise).

I think what HairyBear meant was that a lot of the players will feel frustrated that their score didn't count, as only 8 can. This might impact on their earning of badges for amassing team points. In terms of team standings, a larger team is at an advantage simply because they are more likely to have 8 players skilled in any particular game, and don't need to have everyone be an all-rounder.
