We have three diamond teams in other leagues and two perfect teams in other leagues queued up for those spots. The diamond teams have first priority in order of signup, if they get promoted.
We have two more weeks before OOTP20 is released, and it not too soon to discuss what happens then. I know that we are not going to have the same enthusiasm for updating lists and managing this process after the new game is released. It is still very much worth the effort for me until then, but I will be focusing on my new team in XX and I know that I will not be checking this one as often. I have been thinking about an alternative for this league, and I have a suggestion for your thoughts and discussion.
The real fun of this league has been the friendly competition, common interest in the mechanics of the game, and of course the forum discussion. So I suggest we drop the cap (in two weeks) and instead try to make this a friend's league. We settle on 30 teams (can actually be 31) that want to stay together with open anything-goes rosters, and we stop updating lists. We can create a new forum thread for the "former mini-whale league" and just post there until the arrangement falls apart or the 19 version of the game reaches its final end.
Some of the teams will be relegated but so what. Maybe they will come back... maybe they will be replaced with interesting competitors. We just leave our lists as is. If you decide you want out, you can just change your league placement setting to random and say your fond farewell in the thread. No hard feelings, no harm done.
The value of my whole team fits under the cap so I won't be scaring anyone, but it might be fun to see how long I could last and I would rather lose to you guys than a random whale. So the idea of competing with you without a cap is fine for me. I think the auction values will decline soon and we will probably all be able to expand our current rosters over the summer just with earned points.
What do you think? I am open to other ideas if you have been pondering this too.

I would imagine that most people would not want it uncapped. I think if you uncap it ... it benefits the teams that are already doing well. Though if many are going to become inactive that might just be the natural course as people slip into the league. Without everyone constantly updating friends list each week more and more people who arent restrained by the same rules will be in the league. Who will for the sake of argument have an advantage even though just because one team has 70 points and another has 50 does not mean its better.
Personally, I am fine with uncapped. I was actually thinking about this more and more as I keep picking up pieces. I only had 1 season in perfect before here. So, being uncapped and seeing what my team can do when I just go full throttle is something that im interested to see.
I am fine with whatever people want to do. I just dont want people to feel obligated into being uncapped. Keep in mind it sounds like Orcin is moving towards 20, someone else can always step up and keep a similar league going with those who are going to keep up with 19 and or 20.
