I actually think the.. league encapsulation is a little bit strange. There's a little bit of a can of worms in my thoughts, which is generally the case, but I will try to keep it reigned in a little bit. :)

First, I think you're going to quickly get to a point where you want a system-wide forum. The encapsulation of the forums does not provide for as rich of a user community, IMO.

My desire is to build a sense of community within each league, but I see your point about a sense of community as a whole. I do want to put a global forum in place, just still kind of working out the details in my mind of how that will work. Once some of the more pressing issues are taken care of I'll probably spend some time developing that.

Click "Close league", then click "available teams". You will see two new leagues there.

So I kinda got my answer. Seems both leagues are in late free agency. There is no selection of players, I would have liked that really. I'll check into it more later

I've gone back and forth about having an initial draft with the leagues, I'm just concerned because it would take a month or so once the league got filled up and I think people might lose interest especially after the 10th round or so. Maybe that's just because that'd be my perspective, I don't know, but I haven't had the confidence to have a league start with a 53-round draft.

I see what you mean about GM's losing interest. One thought I had that I didn't post was if there was some sort of draft at the beginning of the season it wouldn't need to be a 53 player draft. Maybe more like the first 20 or 25 players then have the rest auto picked. A couple of leagues I've played in started this way and it worked pretty well.

It's not a big game changer for me, but I did like starting a league with a draft of some of the players. Not many have really commented on this so it may not be that popular anyway. Food for thought for the future I guess.

Sounds like a possibility, it'd help bond with your players faster. But I really don't mind either way.
