Premium Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) The community should always be running a draft league, specifically ONE at a time. There should be at least two different types of leagues, preferrably one weight fix and one weight bug, and the leagues should run similar to Plabax League in the sense that they are strict. Each regular season should be one month, each playoff season should be one month, and the roll call/draft for the following league will occur during the current league's playoffs. The draft period is when the community is most active, so having players around during playoff time will increase the chances of playoff series being played at a good pace. Classic can continue to run, it will just have to be done simultaneously. Classic is designed for slackers anyway, so I don't think coaches will hesitate to register there to get their fix of slacking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anyone who messes around and doesn't get their games in should be punished in Plabax's Prison: One Time Offense - 4 Month Ban Two Time Offense - 6 Month Ban Three Time Offense - Permanent Ban Of course there are always exceptions Less people will slack if they know there is a serious punishment waiting for them. Coaches can also clear up their criminal record if they stay clean for long enough. Say a one-time offender hits 20 checkpoints in a row, maybe we can consider removing their offense. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Example of the 24/7 League Cycle January 1 - League 1 regular season starts Febuary 1 - League 1 playoff starts and League 2 roll call Febuary 14 - League 2 draft starts March 1 - League 1 ends and League 2 regular season starts April 1 - League 2 playoff starts and League 3 roll call April 14 - League 3 draft starts and so on..... It doesn't have to be completely 24/7, there could be a summer break that takes place from July-August or June-September. You get the idea.

Are you proposing to run this 24/7 league, or just posting for fun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbettkb Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 would be nice, but its just not a feasible option for many reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the hostile response? It's a league for slackers, get over it. The admin of the SNES league doesn't even try to complete half of his games. 32 minutes ago, corbettkb said: would be nice, but its just not a feasible option for many reasons. List a reason and I'll attempt to counter it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANY new coaches are a nightmare to drag through their first draft, and a certain set of veterans require me dragging them across the finish line EVERY time. IT IS the main reason I went away from a draft for Surviving Summer. I could get into the rest, but I've gone over it before, and find you ignore logic to fit your reasons. Love the idea of having a constant draft setup, and there is not enough demand right now to do so, even if I offered my time up more than I already do.

Brutus Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Also, I believe right now, with attendance low, it's best to set up more non-strict guidelines for exi's, easy to join leagues, less drafts, etc, and let the actual game, NHL94 do the work of keeping guys playing, or joining in to play. The REAL REALITY is if NHL94 is great, and worth guys taking these extra steps to play and find each other, it is the one that will sell the "folks" out there on doing so. AND regardless of how a league is run, if the game doesn't generate enough demand, it's not going to work. 2v2 is also something that was QUITE dead for a long time, but of late, it's been the driving force for late night exi's and keeping guys popping on to play, new or old. In the end, it's the game that will do the work, and if the play is entertaining enough over our other options, it will continue on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingraph Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 I didn't think my response was hostile? I literally laughed at your statement, and I'm pretty sure you know why. The community has always been free to run any league it wants, your post/poll read more like you were starting a 24/7 league. I'm still not sure of its purpose. Just a poll?
