I am not often on here to give my opinion (cause everyone already has one), but who cares about the name? I mean, Utopia is just a name. I don't specificly like my real name. But hey, I can always say that it was given to me...
I kinda like the idea of an international league myself. Not sure if I will go for it... but the option is kind of appealing to me. For people in a small country (Holland is kinda small) it is a nice opportunity to compete in a large league, cause not everyone has the luxury of a large group of active managers in their country. Ofcourse it may cause for some extra problems, but I am sure those can be fixed along the way. I also think it will be interesting for people who are relatively new to the game, or jumped in later. The option to manage a second team is just a nice way to be able to start from scratch with the knowledge one has gotten and compete with active managers from all over the world... a GBA (Global BuzzerBeater Association)!! I really can't see what is not to like about that. I think eventually (if there will actually be as many active members who'd join (as I'd expect)), people might even like their team in "Utopia" better than their original one. Simply cause it will be far more challenging to get to the top (and stay there).
The paying issue for supporter... don't really have an opinion on that. Ofcourse $10 might be a bit expensive for some people. But I do think it is fair to have both supporters and non-supporters pay for it. Only thing is... there won't be any active managers who don't have the money for it and it would be a shame to not have them on board, cause that would make it challengingerest!!!!!
