I have no idea how to incorporate this, if we should or anything like that. But it came to me as an idea for my solo league and so I'm gonna bounce it off of all of you.
Say we had a winter league that ran after the FOOL season. But not every year, just once every few seasons we "go down to the winter league" to scout out talent. Or "go to Japan" and scout out talent or something like that.
It would be a 3-week season maybe. We'd simply be bystanders and it would run parallel to the FOOL off-season that particular week we decided to do it.
After the winter league is over, we'd create a preference list of 3-5 players (we'd pick a number) that we'd want to pick out of the league, that's submitted that week. Then the players are allocated based on W-L record (Worst teams get preference, but in a draft-type format) and we'd go about our business.
I dunno. I just feel like it might be a neat way to inject something different into the league as we go forward. Go ahead and marinate on that one for the next few seasons, it's a later-on idea. But along with a possible age-limit, a semi-empty cupboard situation or other innovations, I wanna make sure this doesn't get stale.
I also don't want it to get "intensive" or "time consuming" either. I'd like to find balance.
Thoughts?
