Hello all. Signups closed.
In total, we have 17 signups.. 12 "fcuk yeah!"s and 5 "ho hums"

We have a few options:
1. Proceed with 1 league with 12 competitors
2. Go with our traditional 2 leagues to include the tentative guys. We would need 2 leagues of 8, or 2 leagues of 10 if we can get 3 more signups.
3. Do one huge league of 16 (which will take forever to complete). We could have no finals to shorten it a bit.

I am leaning towards option 1 myself. Better to have 1 league of 12 active participants than two leagues with some of the members either tanking/rebuilding, or not really taking an active interest.

Thoughts?

I think it may be getting a bit too late to aim for a start this week, altho if we decide to go with option 1 and everyone gets their act together quickly we may be able to pull it off.

Let's make a decision by tomorrow night.

Here's the list of signups, let me know if I've missed anyone or got anyone wrong. Vipers and YPB, I've put you on the Sharks team cos ur awesome.

I could do it myself but wont get time for a couple of days but we could send a message to everyone that played this season and let them know we are starting friday week. I think two leagues of 10 is the best, great length of season and a chance to divide the elite like Koop and Fishy from the still developing.

hmm just read the list in my previous post looks a little unbalanced when looking at which divisions each team will belong to.
Perhaps you could dip into your free agency pool (the undecided guys)
On the other hand, Vipers and YPB have indicated they are free agents and are willing to play for either side, so you could possibly pick up Geelong / YPB and we could grab someone from your side to even things up?

how about we just crush them into submission!

I'm a bit hesitant to do that cos I kinda want to renew interest and get guys that have an active interest in playing, rather than guys that have to be convinced to play, know what i mean?

I do see ur point though, having an ABBL and a Div 3 team competing against each other in the same league is pretty crazy.

I totally agree that we want people that are interested, but it is easy to forget if you are not on the forums for a few days and the offseason can be quite dull while people drift off for a while to WOW, COD, Dota2, LoL etc.

Sure ok, let's leave the sign ups open until Friday then and hopefully we'll get another 3 signups.

With a bigger pool of competitors and two leagues, I'd like to get the leagues created and invites sent out saturday so we have enough time to sort out issues with supporter, etc before next friday

oops just realised i forgot to add "thats how you get ants"
that makes 18, 2 more to make a double league

Totally agree with all of that.

And Mr archer's boys are Div II now not Div III ;-)


I like the 20 team scenario with 2 x 10 teams

Ill go round again for my team to get a pumping. Won't be a strong team though.
