This is a bit of a late reply,

I think the league is too big and could do with condensing. Give people a certain time to express an interest and go with it from there. Teams will always bot so just replace them when someone wants to join.


I will be removing all bots and packing the league as tight as I can. This means a good portion of teams will be moved up from lower divisions to fill the gaps. Though as of right now, no team that wants to join the league from previous seasons or new ones will be turned away.

Thirdly, bringing back league commissioners like when Rocky was here would reduce the burden for whoever agrees to carry it on.


This will be expected

There should not be that many divisions left after wringing out bots, and with my planned setup, those who will be helping may not have to spend more than 15 min a week... unless they want to. One of the other main parts to this is not just for data input, but for extra eyes to notify me if something goes wrong. I'm prone to silly mistakes

But that will be if I can finish/figure out how to set up all parts the way I want, there may be some manual input for the meantime. To save time, I will be using a good portion of my current league as a template.

I ask/assign some commissioners soon, most likely over the weekend.

Message sent to 33 teams from last Nation's Cup that I have not received confirmation from yet. They have until December 25th to reply. If you have posted in this forum after 12-07-2017 13:08:17 (top of Page 92) with an "I'm in" or equivalent, you have already been included.

31 teams confirmed so far, expected to be 4, possibly 5 divisions of 14 teams each.

As a heads up, the league expected to re-start December 26th and first matches played January 1st.

If you feel that the deadline is too soon, or of any changes that should be made to the league, please notify me.

Thanks,
-Shankster

57 teams confirmed. If any teams outside of the Nations Cup would like to join, this is the time to ask.

Currently the setup is 4 divisions of 14 teams that comfortably accommodates 56 teams total. I will either need to play around with expanding each division by 2 or add a new division entirely.

If we are just one or two teams over 56, I may have those teams to move to my other league, which has currently one vacancy, but has had more teams drop to bot hood than last season at this point, so more may open up.



If any teams our there want a commissioner position, please let me know.

This position will be the head of a division, and will be tasked with:
-Updating weekly scores
-Updating missed games
-Notify me when a teams reaches 5 missed games
-Notify me when a team goes bot

There are currently 2 spots open
