1. Re-Draft? - I'd have to say a re-draft is on the cards... Even though it may separate myself from the Calamari brethren. I do kind of feel like it would suck for those whom are in a sketchy federation at the moment, especially since a re-draft would bring life to all federations even if it possibly does slightly diminish the activity of the calamari.
It may mess with the Calamari as we do have "secrets" in the forums :P. But it shouldn't be much of a problem. And from I've gathered as being a recent inclusion into the "clique", everybody seems to be of a reasonable character and I honestly can't see anyone doing anything that shady considering the stigma that would be associated with such acts lol. Kind of like how we all now hate Skyhookz and Bainsy for rigging the bot promotion :P
2. MVP Voting? - Let's be honest doing any sort of "essays" is gonna be a pain in the ass and I'd probably hate to do it, But it does enhance the experience of the Private league and it's fair that if you wanna be in such a great private league, you should contribute. With that being said a roster like system would be the best way to go. I think a full review of every game might be much for some, so maybe just a selected few games each week in conjunction with 3-2-1's of every game. And maybe to make sure everybody pulls there weight we should make the finals a penalty round, where if anyone has had post-pone the MVP's due to personally commitments that they make up for it by reviewing a week in the finals. And maybe we should also vote on who's MVP was the poorest of the season and they have to do a full review of the Finals match, I'm sure this would encourage people to make the MVP's the best as possible so they don't have to do it again.
3. League Structure - Not to sure, but if there is a contraction then there should be a D'league like private league where those who missed out, want to join can play in and we allow a couple to promote/relegate others... Idk
4. Seeding of leagues/handicapping - I'd like to see the leagues mixed like this season, (I mean i did beat a couple ABBLer's. [Even if it was cause of injury :P]). And I'm not for the handicapping, the way I like to set up my team, missing a player would be like missing a leg, I doubt I'd be able to stand. I like what Axis said (I think it was him) maybe the higher leagues have to win be an amount? Like 20 points or something? But if we did that we'd have to have league tables made each week to go along with the MVP's.
If any of it doesn't make sense or anything my bad :/ But gold medal match is on soon :P
