Making this thread to consolidate replies and make for an easy accounting of numbers. You don't need to vote no if you're not interested, all I'm looking for is the number of yes votes so I can make the league an appropriate size and come up with a plan to cover the rest of the summer.
For anyone who isn't up to speed on this, Season 4 will be delayed due to increased summer non gaming activities - vacations, kids, yard work, whatever. I'm admining a lot of games every week now due to schedule conflicts, and there's not really much point in having a weekly league where you play a game every other week because people are on vacation or are only available at fucking midnight or some shit. So, instead of doing that, the next season of BB will take the form of a fresh team tournament. Everyone rolls up a new TV 1000 team and starts fresh. Number of games will be dependent upon the number of entrants. At the end of the season, there will be playoffs of the top as many teams as I can fit in (obviously needs to be a 2/4/8/16 number, unfortunately) and when it's all said and done, you'll be able to use this team in the regular league if you so desire. This will accomplish a few things --
-- it will give people with busier schedules the chance to take the summer off without having the rest of the league teams pass them by
-- it will give people a break from the rage situation
-- it will allow any new players this season to start on a level field with everyone else, and get their teams some SPP before being slotted into the main league.
-- it will let anyone who's not feeling their current team switch to a new one with the same benefits as above.
So, the only important vote is the number of yes's. If you aren't interested in this, you don't need to post/vote, and we'll pick up the official league in the fall when summer vacations and softball and shit ends and kids go back to school and the yard work is done and everyone's got more time for gaming.
