Expansion!
In order to not bury the lede: We are not expanding beyond our current 12 owners.
Now then…
We had four requests in the last year to join our C&B league. The league member discussions on adding people were indifferent or unwelcoming.
Separately, Panicfan has been running a non-keeper league including myself and MmmmBaker. This league of 10 has gotten a bit stale, so after some discussions, the plan is to relocate this league to the Punshouse boards as a completely separate league to C&B. Counting the three of us, we will probably be bringing over 7-8 owners.
I discussed this with Hodgey and Panicfan (and 1-2 other C&B owners). If we add the four other expansion candidates, then we have 11-12 owners, and a full league for the alternative to Cupcakes & Bananas (C&B). I am using the placeholder name of Pies & Apples (P&A).
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU, the current owner of a franchise:
If you so choose, this means nothing to you. Our ongoing Cupcakes & Bananas league will continue as is.
If you would like a change of pace, you may ask to switch leagues. We can accommodate this.
We do have 1-2 expansion owners in particular who would like to join the C&B league specifically. So we will be recruiting an owner or two to switch, but we will not force anyone.
If we have an extra opening, and you are so inclined, you may request to join the new league in addition to keeping your existing team in C&B.
The P&A league has intentionally mirrored the C&B league as far as roster size, starting lineup, head to head schedule, categories, etc. So it will not be a drastic change if you decide to move. Off the top of my head, P&A has been using a maximum of 3 goalies for quite a while. That’s the biggest difference, other than it hasn’t been a keeper league.
The other “drastic” change that Panicfan and I discussed was having a good portion of the draft live on one night, perhaps on a facebook group thread. It would be somewhat untimed, but hopefully a pick every 1-5 minutes so that trades can happen and be announced and confirmed in real time. It will be with the expectation that everyone is online and trying to draft at least the first five rounds in the first night. This will be discussed later.
Once we get the expansion cleared up, we can move forward with Rules for the new year.
Cheers,
JD
