Not sure what the question is o0

Also, 16 weeks sounds kind of long, although I personally would not mind.
btw, how many teams are there?

Make byes despite having an even number of teams that could be finished within 7 weeks? o.O I think putting byes will be pushing it to the point where it'll get to the point where players are gonna start getting busy with exams and be leaving for the holidays, and we'll want it to finish the season ASAP.

Edit: Venci, there's 8 teams participating.

If there is an even number of teams, I don't see why there should be any byes.
16 weeks means 14 weeks of group stages and 2 weeks of playoffs, right? Sounds acceptable to me.

edit: On a side note, I think it's worth considering changing the structure of the playoffs in such a way that every team has the incentive to give their best till the end. For example, letting 6 instead of 4 teams reach the playoffs. Maybe with the first 2 teams being seeded one round ahead of the other 4 or the last 3 teams having to fight for the 4th spot in the elimination bracket with 5th vs 6th -> winner vs 4th -> winner takes the last spot in the playoff elimination bracket.
Something like this would reduce the possibility of a team having no chance for the playoffs mid-season, and thus have no more incentive to play. I think, the league would benefit from this especially if it the group stages go for 14 weeks.

If we start next Saturday, 16 weeks later would be the first Saturday of December. I guess this would be before holiday season for everybody.

Or we could do Playoffs STX-Soul tournament style.
Bottom vs 2nd last.
Winner vs 3rd Last.
So on and so fourth, but that'd take forever for a play-off lol.

I'm against a 6 team playoff. Already have the league makes it to them with 4, making it 6 almost means "as long as you aren't the shittiest team in the league, you can make it".

I'm fine with whatever, though byes can get pretty lame. Players not showing up/getting walked over because their team lost or can't make the playoffs or other late-season motivation problems... also lame.

14 weeks seems way too ambitious. Considering the dropout rate in the past, it wouldn't be unusual for a team to be unable to play halfway through the season due to lack of players. What happens if a team goes 0-6, trashing player morale and decimating the team's motivation to show up? What happens if a team disappears entirely similar to NW Power of last season?

The length of this season risks exacerbating existing problems within the league for very little gain. If you really want more games, just run two DRTL seasons in succession.

I agree. I feel like 14 weeks of group stages has a very high chance of not working out...

Well I'll be out of town the first 2-3 weeks so more weeks is better for me

Spazer may have a point though. Back to back seasons or a multi-round season ala BW SPL may be preferable due to fluctuations in player interest. New seasons/rounds can provide more frequent recruiting periods too.

Uh, can't someone else on TAKK sub for you? It's not like lineups were due yet or anything.
Not that I care, you're playing vs mSj D:

If things remain as they have been, a 16 week season will almost mean 16 weeks till the next DRIT. So I'd rather the season not be 16 weeks. Spazer's post has a lot of merit, as well.
