Really not trying to be difficult but if I don't like an idea am I supposed to just keep quiet about it?

Sorry I wasn't more specific.
Let me add to what I said earlier but first.......I know you're not trying to be difficult and no I don't want you to be quiet, I let my emotions get in the way after all the work that went into this thing. I'm trying to help myself out with league operations.
I had two goals in mind when putting this together with jbergey. We need to do something with the draft pool and now. Some fighters have to go period. The draft pool is to flooded with fighters. If we draft minor league teams from the draft pool that will take care of the problem. Using minor league teams would also offer some of the better fighters that have been sitting in the pool for two seasons get a chance to perform as well. Most owners when looking for fighters in the draft pool to pick up on waivers first look to see who has experience instead of the overall rating of a fighter. (e.i. a pre-prime fighter rated 5 will probably go before a beginner 7 in the waivers) With fighters gaining experience in the minors also means less fighters will have to be added before the regular season draft for the big clubs thus saving our numbers. I guess what I'm trying to say is the minor league clubs will help supplement the draft/free agent pool and the need to add a bunch of fighters each season will be reduced.
The other goal is we are coming up on a shortage of 1's and 2's that can be added to the league and I sure would hate to start adding a bunch of user created 1's and 2's. I've worked real hard on the draft pool over the last four seasons trying to gain some sort of balance in the overall rating department. With the addition of expansion teams the last few seasons......the plan kinda blew up trying to achieve that balance because I didn't want to short change the newcomers and not let them have a chance at some higher rated fighters in the draft.
The reason for the stipulations on the ratings in the minors is to save the big guns for the regular draft and to build up the lower rated fighters like the 4's, 5's and 6's because I think they will have more value at pre-prime/Prime than a 7 to 9 rated beginner. (3's to 7's is what we have the most of in the database)
I agree completly with you on the unlimited moves. If we just set (just an idea here) up a deadline, say like.............
At the end of week 7, that will be the only time the UTBA team could move fighters from their minor system to the UTBA team.
You guys put your heads together and make what changes you wish to this thing (let me know what they are and I'll see if I can do it when running the league) and I'll post it for a league vote.
