But changing rules mid stream is never a good idea. We know next time. This is important, and you exercised good judgement, IMO. Whatever rules you put in place regarding completion rates and milestones, stick to them. When I decided to join, I factored in whether I would have time. If the season ended earlier, or milestone rules changed, I may not have had time, and would be scratching my head thinking a "bait and switch" happened, so why am I looking like a jerk for (supposedly) slacking? I can see a commish making tweaks and adjusting some rules midstream, but the deadlines and milestones are sacrosanct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachMac Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 1 hour ago, Brutus said: So, tradition is 2 month long seasons for leagues 20-24 coaches in size. It's the obvious reason for this setup by me. i was unable to get enough people to 56 games to finish the league ahead of schedule, so I did not shorten the season. For my part, as a participant, I've finished my team minus Zep. I've finished half another team's games minus 2 X Ice. But as a commish, it's hard to scream at people who are still within standard setup guidelines laid out at the season's beginning. So, I can easily agree that a one month or month & half schedule is better. But changing rules mid stream is never a good idea. We know next time. Coach & Plabs are the few openly campaigning for short seasons before the seasons start, so the other banter sounds foolish to me given it wasn't there when I was creating the setup. I have signed up & played in both your guy's leagues in the past so I'm not opposed to your ideas. I did not think with Spring Break & Easter that we would be sitting so close to completion at 3-4 weeks in. If I had, I'd have made it 5 week season. Hindsight 20/20. I do believe the 4 X your own conference & 2 X the opposite has been a very successful formula, so that's a plus going forward. An easy way to mix A & B together without too much brain damage. i also thought Skip's VHL was dead since it took like 3 months to finish the playoffs, but given he just started that up again, I did not want to run the shorten B version of this league (~10 coaches NOONE month scale) like I originally discussed. i also am not doing DNP's, but just not re-inviting the guys who don't play. Maybe next season we might have 9 in A & 8 in B. I will likely put more emphasis on league quality over even schedule/stats. both chef & cbk were needed to get us to 20, which is a small number & we had 2 drops!! Most of us don't want to play in a 6 man league or we would already be doing it, over & over & over by now. so, I'll discuss with all the active coaches for next season we run & see who is welcome back. You and Raph are great commish's because you are level headed. And help to grow the game and keep a wide variety of people interested. Plabs was a great commish, because he kicked ass and took names. No exceptions. It is very much like being a Head Coach. Both styles can succeed and both can fail. It is important to get the right players in your league/team.

kylewat Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I very much like Brutus' quality over a 'consistent' number of teams. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is essentially 2 separate 6-8 man leagues with cross over exis! I very much approve minus the slackers. AND we do it over and over again.

aqualizard Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Darko and Chefstar, I will pop on at 3pm EST and 5pm today to see if you are around. (Sorry for short notice, it is a holiday and I can't plan far ahead this weekend...) You guys are my last 2 peeps for 100% completion...

kylewat Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) I need Darko, KingRaph, and Brutus! Got FPB scheduled. I know Raph and Brutus like to play late, so let me know if one night works, or maybe this weekend. Hartford is on a roll and the Whale needs to eat! Also, Casey rocks.
