hey guys,
Most of you know of my little ladder and tournament site (
http://simladder.com/), well I was thinking of getting rid of the tournaments all together as interest has fallen off and the nightmare of trying to schedule matches. Someone suggested I go with a "league" style of play.
This league would be setup similar to a normal football league with conferences or divisions and regular season play within your conference leading up to end of the season playoffs and a superbowl of sorts at the end.
The advantage of this is that during the regular season you'll be going up against people in the same general timezone you are in so making "pre scheduled" matches will not be as hard. Now for the playoffs and superbowl, interest will have built over the season and people will really be looking forward to it and will be more likely to "plan ahead".
The "teams" would be made up of say, 8 - 12 players. Matches would require a minimum of 3 to show and a max of maybe 8 if the other team has that many show up.
Now, what I'd like to know is ... how many would be really interested in participating?
