Draft date: Sat August 24, 7pm BST
Oh yes. No pissing about this year. Changes are afoot.
1. We're switching to a keeper league
2. We're moving from a random draft order to a merit-based order
3. We're looking for expansion teams.
4. We're going to have a debate about settings and scoring.
KEEPER LEAGUE
When the original 8 teams have re-registered, I'll activate the keeper settings. In a nutshell, you'll be given the opportunity to keep a number of players from last year's squad - partly to instill a sense of continuity, partly to reward picking out stars of the future in previous drafts, but mainly so the Cowboy Curtises can have Drew Brees for the next 20 years. What that number will be is up for discussion.
DRAFT ORDER
At present, it looks like this;
1. Expansion Team 1
2. Expansion Team 2
3. Cowboy Curtises
4. Westside Bobos
5. Csiki Sods
6. Seattle Shitehawks
7. Rushing Strangers
8. Admiral Armbar
9. Nottingham Crimewave
10.Proto
Up for discussion: having it in snake order (ie, pick 10 & 11 Proto, pick 12 Nottingham Crimewave, pick 13 Admiral Armbar, etc) or straight up and down (ie, pick 11 Expansion 1, pick 12 Expansion 2, etc)
EXPANSION TEAMS
If you're interested, shout up. Definitely want to bump the numbers up to 10, and maybe even 12. Happy to bow to majority opinion on this.
SETTINGS AND SCORING
More players per squad? Happy with the scoring as it is? Should we split the league into two divisions (Brit and RoW?)
Doing this nice and early to bag a draft time everyone's happy with, and to argue the toss about how to run the season.
