I know of at least a handful of people that would like to see it bumped up. I personally like 6 or 9 GPD equally, but there's one benefit to 9 GPD that some people may not be aware of. Seasons (from off-season day to the day of the WS) are exactly 21 days. That means we could have the off-season set up to be on a day of the week that works best for everyone! For me, it would be a benefit to have it fall on a weekend once the wheel draft is implemented, so that I can make sure the draft order is all set by 11:32 am. On work days, I sometimes get super busy, and am not able to check SimD until lunch time.
Another benefit is that it would be easier to recruit new owners going forward. Although, I'm hoping we won't need to do that very often, and can keep everyone here for the long term. We have a fantastic group of owners, and once we get the SF team sold, we will be looking good!

What are everyone's thoughts on making the FRL a 9 GPD league?I know of at least a handful of people that would like to see it bumped up.

YES please. Love the idea. I belong to two other 9 GPD, the 3 week format, makes for a predictable calendar for those who are slammed during the week, etc.

YES PLEASE. I'd prefer even more than 9, but anything more than 6 would be great.

I don't have a strong preference, whatever the majority prefers is fine with me

I'm good either way. :) I'm just here for the wheel draft and to complain that we use numbers! LOL

We might check into having someone appointed as co-commish, in case you aren't around to reset the draft order. Between two people we may be more likely to make sure it happens. Just a thought.

I'm also neutral on the question of 6 or 9 games per day, whatever the consensus is we're good here.

While I wouldn't revolt against 9 a day, I personally find the 6 a day a bit easier to keep track of given busy work schedules as I gave more time to make decisions. That being said, 9 a day ain't too much of a difference so I could work with that as well (given than my other leagues are currently paused.)

I like the 6 a day but would be open if that's the way we go

No preference. Although, I would hate for FredB to leave the league.[Edited on 9-24-2015 by CEO]

I'd be open to 9 gpd - but not if that means someone might consider leaving.

I would probably leave the league too......Between this and the unrealistic wheel draft.........

The wheel draft isn't any more unrealistic than having prospects who literally can't miss. The incentive to tank in simD is inordinately high and the wheel is a unique solution to that problem.

Yea, theres a lot of things you could say are unrealistic in SimD, to single out something thats going to abolish tanking is rather odd.Pages: 1
