Hey Guys, So based on the experience gained throughout the draft tournament. We have made the decision to split the league straight away and have a smaller US league and a smaller European league.
The lag in the draft tournament had a high effect on everyone so we felt this decision had to be made to ensure that the league is as fun and competitive as possible.
The split also means we can try and be more open to both sets of players as possible. This means more players which ultimately means more competition.
The owners are currently voting on the game times and days.
The UK league currently has 7 Owners. The UK Days are going to be Monday and Tuesday. The owners are voting on whether the teams should be as early as 7.30pm-8.30PM or 11.30PM-12.30pm. These times are set around the World Cup game times. If need be we may even make it only an hour and have 2 games instead of 3. This decision will be taken based on ownership opinions and anything posted in here.
The US league currently has 7 Owners also. The US game times are set as 7.30-9PM (Eastern). These times have been set to avoid conflicting with other leagues. The US owners are currently voting on what days they would like to see. Monday is a guaranteed day but have a choice of Tuesday or Thursday as the second game day. This is also debatable if owners come back to me with an alternative.
These days and times will be set for Season 1 only. Once the World Cup has been decided and we have finished season 1 we can begin to look to change our game times again without the added distraction of a World Cup which has made scheduling games increasingly hard.
Thanks and lets get this up and running, Danny
