It gives people choice without the first the players always taking Amazon/Undead/Skaven. Do you not want multiples of the same team? I guess I don't see the issue as in board game leagues we've almost always had two of the same team (usually dwarf) and no one has really cared. I guess I don't see the problem with letting people choose what they want to play. From my understanding of turn based blitz vs classic the only differences added to blitz mode are the pre-game training sessions and equipment. | ||

I also think there is no way everyone would take undead skaven or amazon if we let people choose. | ||

EDIT: ALL SLOTS HAVE A NAME ON THEM. From this point on, it will be first come first serve. Let that be a warning to all of you 'maybes'. First guys to PM me get main seats.. and I withhold the right to keep people on the 'short list' for if/when players disappear. As of right now: Zanzabar Haberdasher Lyter Skirn Nokarot Jaug potatoedoughnut Catyoul Kanil Brownjesus Jayce cloudic MaiBoA38 Tuln Megelrov Fallen InToTheWannaB (Maybe) Rampoon (Maybe) kingjames01 (Maybe) Gruv (Held) Catyoul's Friend Two issues of note: 1. I have received a formal request to keep Halflings in the team pool. 2. We -will- be using a limited draft format, as outlined below. Tonight at 12:00 AM (EST), I will generate a random list of coach names and post them here. Anyone to join after this time will be added to the bottom of the list. The first player on the list will be sent a PM with three team options to choose from. The chosen team will be taken off the list and I will proceed to the next coach. I hope this process will go quickly given that it's the weekend.. but at this time I will not enforce a time limit. | ||

I haven't really given that much thought, yet. Nor even how many matches a week we should play. I was thinking 2 matches a week, 12 weeks as a baseline OR 2 matches a week, 8 weeks. The shorter seasons will help retain players. If we wants teams to span over multiple seasons I'm inclined to say two month seasons. Do we want things to be fast and dirty? | ||

If I can get some answers to these questions and also one more: "when do we think we will start?" then I'll commit. =) Thanks! I'm looking forward to it! | ||

We couldn't do that with 20 teams (assuming that we play every team) unless there were separate divisions. Also, is there such thing as home stadium advantage? | ||

It would be glorious if we can get all of the races picked by Sunday, but I highly doubt it. | ||

Will you need help with the organizational aspect of the league or does BB Manager handle matchmaking? If it doesn't I've put some thought into the setup of the regular season and I can share my work if you want. | ||

I'd recommend starting with a 2 month league, then we'll see how things shapes up after | ||

Looking forward to it, though. Will be checking constantly to see if my name is up for draft! | ||

I'm thinking a 48-hour window is long enough to make contact. i.e. you PM your opponent, and he has to respond to it within two days. Since we are literally spread across the globe, I presume most games will happen during the weekends. Bare in mind, I have never organized something with such varying play times.. so this style may be completely inefficient. Anyone have better ideas/input? | ||
