That way the top league should easily be competitive while the lower league wouldn't be too boring for those in it. And if you ever have openings in both, try to fill the top league first.

When it comes to extra stuff, don't, or at least if you do, keep it manageable. Part of what ultimately burnt me out was I did extra stuff and, while it probably wasn't worth it, I didn't want to cut back. Focus on what you absolutely have to do and if you want to do extra stuff, try to make those extras only occasional one-offs and not every sim.

If you think you can get sufficient enjoyment from only being the commissioner, not running a team, do it. Again, it's less work, but maybe more importantly, you won't end up kind of regretting it if your team does really well. I'd say this would be even more important if you're the only member already very familiar with the game as would be the case if say your friends are from IRL. Or maybe part of the appeal for your friends would be competing against you in which case maybe you should run a team.

Above all, have fun!

Thanks Man. Any suggestions on where to host a website?
