"Lets stop ****ing around with pools and have a full home and away season" - oh no we can't because we have too many teams now "Okay well lets have two divisions instead" - oh no we can't because it gives Season 1 teams an advantage "Lets give teams an option to keeping up to 7 of their current players, but make it very attractive for them to release their early draft picks" - nah, new teams! Personally I think we should stop trying to bend over backwards for teams that don't even exist yet. New teams might be at a disadvantage for a season or so and they might not be able to win straight away but so what? I'd rather see a little bit of continuity than making each season a bubble. You have to have a balance there but if I had a new team I'd want to build it up slowly making astute picks over a couple of seasons rather than striving for immediate fairness anyway. Four players is way too few, IMO. It means most of every side HAS to change. I want Season 2 to be different to Season 1 as much as the next guy but there should be some continuity and you should be able to build your team to some extent.
If you are going to have like 6 people staying in a team then would it be more reasonable splitting it to 2 from your first 4, 2 from your 2nd 4 and 2 from the rest?
The way the draft order would work, there's no reason to make that distinction. If your released earlier draft picks, you'd get earlier draft picks next time around - there's your incentive.
I'm trying not to deliberately disadvantage new sides anymore than I need to, but improvements to CPL are of more importance than expansion for expansion's sake.
Personally I just don't like the idea divisions for a competition like this. The fact there has is new teams coming in has nothing to do with my opinion on that.
Rumours from behind the scenes are that Rebels officials are compiling a 335 name long shortlist for the upcoming draft. >_> <_<
Rebels officials are pleased to announce the signing of Indian international Gautam Gambhir. He will form an indeed deadly opening partnership with Graeme Smith. Cant update the first post at the moment as im on my phone , infact this field of work probably isnt the safest to be operating a mobile
