  • Aye on moving to a more efficient provider
  • Aye on adding one of the Caftites that have volunteered recently
  • neutral on expansion
  • Nay on adding anyone not vetted by more than one person

I personally think the draft order approach needs tweaking. My personal view is that it should be based on potential points for all teams not in the play offs, then all teams in the play offs effectively follow an NFL style order.

The Reason for this is let’s take 2 examples of teams. One team has a stacked starting 10 players, they’re the ones who score most the points and so their line up is easy to set. Another has less good players but more of them to compensate -these players often do have good games but inconsistently, so it’s harder to get the line up right. But these teams could have the same potential points though because this approach doesn’t capture the difficulty in picking a line up with lots of average players.

For full transparency this would benefit me if we changed it, but honestly I would have suggested it anyway.

That's a very good point. I'd be strongly in favour of that right now.

Potential points were designed to stop tanking, why bother applying to the playoff teams? Should just be applied to those outside the playoffs, although it guarantees them a top-6 pick. Hmm.

Rules can’t be changed half way through a season surely

Surely rules are assessed in the off season and not half way through the year though.

My team is shit and I’ve spawned an 11-2 record.

I'd suggest year-end balances. Can withdraw or leave as-is at the end of the season. Lotta ball game left.

Reducing off league fees makes more sense. Looking at this scores, how the feck did @JJ12 end up with 11-2 record
