I agree with you Koop - I even experienced it myself. At one point I think we had 3 or 4 PLs going?? North South East West??

The Fishbowl grew far too big for its own good. There is a huge amount of effort involved in setting up and running 4 PLs in parallel, as I'm sure Yoda would know. And for what benefit? The banter between teams, the competitiveness between federations died down because it was diluted. If I'm in the North league, I really couldn't care less about what's going on in the East our South.

There was also some incessent whining and moaning about how the leagues were run, etc. which made things a little less fun.

Let's get back to basics. Let's get back to how it used to be when it was fun. Let's fire up the old rivalry. Sharks vs Calamari. Let's do things because they're fun, not because we have to.

There are 17 teams that have signed up, but of those, I've noted a number of teams have said they'll play "to make up the numbers" rather than saying "yes i want to play." If we get enough participants to form 1 active league, I would prefer to do that rather than have 2 leagues comprised of several teams that are in just to make up the numbers.

I know this will create a league where ABBLers will be facing off Div 3 players, but lets instigate a handicap system (by points) to make life a little tougher for our ABBLers.

I've rambled. Sorry.
Happy to hear your thoughts all.

You could have my spot, Razor.

@Akuma...while I always want to play in the Fishbowl, and am happy to do so, everyone would have to accept that I only have 2 solid guards and nothing else. I'm sure some managers will see my participation as pointless. So, yes, while I'd like to play, it is better that I don't to be fair.

If you are going to have 2 leagues and need more teams I will try sort out my supporter and play. But if you go the 1 league route, don't worry about me

Razor and Bainsy make 19 teams and I am sure over the weekend there will be some more. Bainsy and Matty have made great contributions over the seasons and it would be a pity to leave them out. Two federations and two leagues sounds great to me and not out of control, but I am not the boss...hooray!

I agree with keeping it at two leagues. Keep the ones who input chase they're the ones who make it fun.
