DRTL continues with 4 teams playoffs, but only the top 6 teams will be able to participate in DRCL. This would keep the interest in the league even for the bottom teams. So DRTL ranking would work something like this: 1st: goes to DRTL playoffs + invite to DRCL 2nd: goes to DRTL playoffs + invite to DRCL 3rd: goes to DRTL playoffs + invite to DRCL 4th: goes to DRTL playoffs + invite to DRCL 5th: invite to DRCL 6th: invite to DRCL 7th: nothing, go practice for next season! 8th: nothing, go practice for next season! Even if the 7th and 8th teams have no chance to grab a spot in the playoffs, they could always try to reach to the DRCL. Kind of like we have in football (soccer). | ||

I'll echo that 14 weeks is a bit too long. Maybe 12 weeks is a bit better? | ||

I agree that 14 is on the lengthy side, but there are only two other alternatives: 1) 7 week season - In my opinion this is really short, barely gives the season time to get rolling and it's over 2) 8-13 wk season - better length, but then you get into the messiness of byes, not to mention they can be unfair to teams (weak team doesn't get a bye vs a stronger team) I guess a third option exists though, which is having it be two seven week seasons, allowing for re-drafting and signing new FA in the events of inactivity, possible with a DRIT in between. | ||

If no one else is active it's understandable, although that brings into question why TAKK didn't draft then. As for the timing situation, I think 14wk season is better because it allows everyone to rematch their opponent (byes wouldn' allow it), and its better than 7week season (just is rly short). I think its almost ideal now, since playoffs should happen in November or so, after which we could have a DRIT from Nov/Dec period and start with a DRATL or DRTLS7 in January? | ||

I'm actually not sure what the concept of byes is. Should read up on it. Third option definitely seems like a reasonable idea although I wonder when the finals would be after the second season. | ||

So like if your team had a week 1 bye, that means your team doesn't play week 1. | ||

say, a max of like 3 per season last season was kind of ridiculous with postponing almost ever game every single week | ||

In my opinion, a player that CAN play should be placed priority over those that are considered better but needs to postpone. We're trying to limit walkovers, yes, but we should also be trying to limit postponements. Getting results in ASAP should be our main goal. Edit: And also, dunno where captains are, but it'd be appreciated if teams that took part in the draft came out and either posted their new draftees or posted their new rosters. | ||

I think enforcing stricter pp rules (for example, only 2 players per week can request pp or games must be played no later than the following Thursday) is a good idea. This is because teams often don't account for whether players can play at game time. Drama aside, this has caused delays in results, and last DRTL playoffs took 2 weeks per round in addition to them being delayed to get in the final regular season results due to the very close rankings. Furthermore, this means teams have the option of always fielding their strongest members. Therefore, stricter pp rules would indirectly cause a decrease in the amount of games the strongest players play as well as the actual occasional need to rely on weaker players to fill in at game time. My suggestions are only examples, and I think max of 3 per season is too harsh, but I do agree with some form of strict pp rules. Teams should not be allowed to field their best players every week while requesting pp's left and right, and the current rules basically allow this if teams choose to do so. | ||

While I agree there should be rules about postponements, I think having a limit of 3 etc... might also be problematic. I think first a substitute should be attempted. If it doesn't work, then have a postponement but ask for the match to be played by the end of the week so that you have the results by Sunday night. Have both players organize the time to play it and if that's impossible, either get two other players to play it or eliminate it from the list(ex. 5 matches, whichever team wins 3/4 matches wins. If the score is 2/4, have an ace match then). I'm sure that there are some problems with my recommendation but at least it keeps the league flexible and would still appeal to those that have a busy lifestyle. | ||

Playoffs after the 2nd round. And now we are talking serious buisness. How about 3 parts: normal style -all kill - normal style = into playoffs after 3 rounds Playday would be saturday (usuall day) and DRIT is running during DRTL, playday would be sunday. DRIT could be held 2times or 1 big DRIT.  Which would also means, that all D Rank league/tour maker/admin as to work together. Which would lead to fix season times, cause no more "i start it when i want it to start" or "i would start but im not sure if anyone else want to do something", with breaks between for draft and "recovery" like real (e)sport.  So...just subscribe to Draw's youtubechannel, so he can stream again (besides twitch  ) and we might have pro caster too. perfect ready for more professional d ranks.  | ||
