New Free League

[Triad]

First of all, I do think free league should be modelled on classic league, with 4 rope schemes and 4 default schemes. I actually think this is essential in order to get a decent number of people playing.

Well, whole appeal of Free League is it's not like Classic League.

I would also reject all 'specialist' schemes (such as bungee race, SSR, etc), anything that basically turns into a free win for the 3 or 4 players who are actually good at them. The learning curve for these games is just too high, and especially these days you can't expect anyone to put the hours in to mastering them.

TTRR is a specialist scheme too, yet it's played by both pros and average players. Same with Big RR. The specialist wouldn't be a problem with more limited schemes anyway.

About list, it's nice list if your aimed demographic is Classic players. I don't think Free players ever would agree on it.

Suggested changes
* Removing unpopular schemes and lowering total amount of schemes to 8. Possible 8 schemes is given below.
* Best of 7 playoffs
* 60 days long seasons instead 90.
* Resetting overall stats just like Classic league(and keep them archived like old Classic League overall), makes sense considering most of the free league schemes would be gone.

Well, whole appeal of Free League is it's not like Classic League.

Hey man... Totally aware I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but really starting to lose compass here.
Where you guys heading with this? None of you want to make another Classic league, but all agree to make a blatant copy of mentioned league?

I meant the 4 rope 4 default scheme idea though. Appeal of Free League is not it has a lot of schemes, but schemes that is not like Classic League.

So how about Advanced/Free/Entry Leagues?

Advanced would be what Classic already is(perhaps with some changes to make it even more advanced), Entry would be the 8 schemes spleen17 suggested, and Free would be the remaining "misc" schemes people consider different from Classic, the someone "other" schemes.

Personally, I see the similarities between spleen17s proposed Free, but also see the vast differences.

But, this is obviously too upsetting a change for TFL enthusiasts.

It's clear though, we have different groups of players, I myself would focus on Entry, as I am in that stage of life where I am way more a casual player and enjoy organizing events, I prefer making maps, being creative, watching people play, rather than actually competing myself as a hardcore player, but I do still enjoy competing, Entry would be the perfect enviroment for me.

Why even 8 scheme? Let's go more hardcore and do 1 scheme. TRFL aka:

T U S
R O T A T E D
F R E E
L E A G U E

you know honestly all leagues except for tus classic singles had to be disabled by now

TRL was cool but limited to 1 scheme a month feels too limited lol.

[spleen17]

How about bring back TRL but make it three schemes instead of one? Like, the top 3 schemes voted on by the community before each seasons.

Could even make it 30 day seasons, could be fun.

EDIT: limit it to 1 classic league scheme too ofc.

[TheKomodo]

I like that idea but what if there is a scheme you really hate playing but 2 you really like playing?

Feels like voting would bring the same things perhaps if we had a bunch of schemes and through time went through different combinations that way more would get their favourite lineup.
