AllyRdr Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Keep them as they are. One of the things that really annoys me in sport is this fake need to glamorise things with fancy names. Like Scottish football has had the Premier league for ages, but recently just changed the second tier from Division 1 to the Scottish Championship. You win the Championship in Scotland (and England where we nicked the idea from, after they had nicked our Premier League idea) and yet you're not actually champion. That honour goes to a team a whole level up so it's a fallacy. It's doesn't add anything to it in the same way that coating something in tin foil doesn't make it silver. I like them just numbered. It's simple and does the job perfectly well. /mini rant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
Pidpad Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Question is what do we call the new tier Ally? T1,5 was the working name, but that looks just silly :P Oh, also, added a time limit for suggestions (end of MD5) to the first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So call the new top tier the "Championship" as that's what it decides. It's the idea of having to have names for the other ones that's a pet hate of mine in sport.

AllyRdr Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 In addition, a lot of people playing recognise the name of the OCC. It's a damn big league after all. If you tell someone that you play in OCC tier 2 or 3 or whatever, it gives an indication of where you've progressed. If you tell someone that you play in OCC Reikland or Amethyst or Unicorn, it doesn't actually convey any information without having to delve into an explanation.

Moncap Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Keep them as they are. One of the things that really annoys me in sport is this fake need to glamorise things with fancy names. Plus one. Tier 1 - 10 teams Tier 2 - AB - 20 teams Tier 3 - ABCD - 40 teams etc Is how I would to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wismerhill Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Why is everyone so afraid of change??? so Yes, when you boast to your friends you are playing in the Golden tier, you have explain abit more, but really, who cares??? I think it is due time that the OCC embeds some more of the warhammer stuff so i'd even like to take it a step further and rename admins to wizard lords and Dode as Supreme Patriarch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubberson Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm another number lover. Don't like the idea of names, but if it is going to go through no matter what the broader consensus is between the two i choose this. Championship/Gods and Hero's 1. Death and Rebirth 2. The Killing Fields 3. Sandwich Meat 4. Slave Traders Incorporated 5. The Hunting Grounds 6. The Stunty Marshes SSC. The Spawning Pools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pidpad Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 The decision will be made by a poll, and the default names will of course be included as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 4 3 3 2 4 2 2

Moncap Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Changing the name if divisions makes historical comparisons confusing, English football being a good example. Someone might say their team won the first division 3 times back in the good old days. Things aren't going so well for them now and they got relegated. They get relegated again and find themselves in division 1? It was better the way it was before. You could put fluffy names on tiers much the way sponsorship does, like the 'Barclays' premier league, or Tier 2 'The Meat Grinder'. But I would stay well away from them. The OCC is a good brand as it is, scanning down the matches to watch you can see all the OCC matches easily and concisely. And more fluff to each name wouldn't improve it at all, as far as I'm concerned anyway. I do love the new structure though, and think it will be a better league for it.

Doomy77 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm against the use of Warhammer place names as another large and long established league, UKBBL, already does that. I think I'm with Ally in wanting to keep it simple. If we were to go down the road of giving the Tiers fancy names I'd far rather see the use of something more thematically suited to Blood Bowl.

AllyRdr Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 So if you want to skip my previous posts, tl;dr version: Have a fancy new name for the top tier if need be (ie, Championship - my preferred option), keep the rest as is. edit to add: My ACTUAL suggestion: The Orca Cola Championship (old tier 1) Division 2/ABCD Division 3/ABCD ...so on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomy77 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 We could rename Div 1 to The Blood Bowl, I suppose. 1.5 could be our Spike! Magazine Trophy or Chaos Cup. And Tier 5 can be renamed "Doomy's Trap"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 4

Then we've spent a page loudly (in my head) agreeing with each other oh but you don't...i think. In Ally's suggestion, which i personally agree with, there is no Tier named Tier 1. It's Championship...Tier 2...Tier 3...etc... In the picture it's Championship...Tier 1.... Tier 2....etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
