So far there have been a lot of good ideas and comments so far. Open discussion is a major part of why UTBA has been successful and fun for us all.
I've already mentioned my views so here is my last words on the subject. A vote will decide this for us all. I really enjoy posting the stats and stuff for the league, but keep this in mind:
Updating my database of from which I use to compile the stats takes about 1/2 hour for each match each week. With 12 matches a week that adds up to a minumum of 6 hours (most of the time more) just keeping track of everything. On top of that, add at least a few hours to organize the stats (Points Leaders, UTBA Power Rankings, etc.) Add another hour or so to convert the data on .xls spreadsheets to .jpg files and post them to the boards. Between seasons, it takes at least a week for me to update all of the draft and roster changes (which I am currently working on).
Adding a minor league adds 10 more team matches which will take time. I've mentioned this before, but if anyone wants copies of the 40+ .xls spreadsheets I maintain for the league, send me an e-mail address and I'll send them out.
I'm not asking for sympathy or even help with what I contribute to the league, I just want everyone to know where I'm coming from when I poo-poo massive changes even if I agree that they are good ideas.
Bottom line - The more we add to the league, the harder it will be to provide the stats and stuff that some of you guys enjoy to read through each week.
Let's just vote and then move on to Season 5
