Vote A
I like the current system, I would be sad if any of the team I use to face should leave.
Thank you for your vote demars, I will make a note/record of it of course - I hope that's first one of the all 18 votes, and we'll get the voting done in time.
Frankly, demars, I understand you 100%, and you described quite perfectly why this is so problematic scenario to me all in all - even if I don't know any of you guys really well (I hope that will change in the future though - I'm not kidding about HGL meets and such!), I have come to like you guys a lot and very much enjoy being part of this community, and it would be sad to "throw a committed manager out of the league" just because they didn't had very competitive team on that Season.
It's very interesting how much I've also come to like some certain matchups/facing some teams, and continuation is something I've always wanted to cherish and reward in HGL... And also I'd like to reward committed managers, not penalize them.. And while forcing worst team to relegation final match might not be interpreted as penalizing to some, I believe at least you know what I mean.
And on the other hand, it's in a way "a positive problem" having to deal with these, but of course sometimes it feels as one is between the tree and the bark, as it's sometimes impossible to find enough time in order to be able to expand and expand all the time. Not only that quality often times suffers (anyone can confirm that from work life, yes?;), but also it needs to be remembered, that we all (including me) should be able to enjoy this and being able to use "acceptable" amount of time into it (and given consideration to all aspects, including being able to maintain level of the league even if I would have less time to use for BB and therefore for HGL at some point in the future), as we all have IRL things/duties/relationships as well that need to be given time and care.
Also, it's an interesting change, as this is second time in a row when
all current managers wanted to continue to further Season, while first 3 Seasons created a lot of open spots (for new teams to enter) in HGL due to teams exiting voluntarily. Who knows how this will develop in future - are we able to keep up with this nice streak, or are teams going to exit HGL voluntarily for one reason or another?
But as I've said, I also always understand both points of the view, and I am thankful that we have interested teams "on the queue" so to speak. There will be HGL-PL (short) league (/playoffs/combination of both; TBD) for them, starting on this Season.
