In. Thanks for running.

I'm all for not having to run it! In!

I do have an idea for something different that I can run at some point since there isn't always a ton of year to year change in these.

Also, tecmo, I'll send you my spreadsheet so you can just adapt that. Probably easier than just starting fresh

I'm in. In hindsight, I should have won the final. The form that my attack had last season was ridiculous. Midfield really under appreciated.

Going with a new approach this year, though. Gotta keep you guys on your toes.

I think last year everything fizzled once we got deep into the tournament. For me, anyways, most of the fun was in the draft itself. So I would suggest doing the draft, and at the end having all of us do our formations, strategy, sub patterns, etc., then have a panel of judges select the best 4 teams out of the bunch. Then do a simple playoff amongst those teams with the losing players as the judges.

Much more simple and fun, imo.

Maybe something where there are 4 predetermined pools, where judges can pick the top team in each pool. Makes things easier for judges, because the differences between teams can be quite small (unless you're ANDREI).

Hoping for a big turnout for this. Makes drafting more difficult, but more strategy as well.

Depending on what the rules will be of course, but the draft really takes most of your effort. Submitting tactics, judging other matches, and politicking in general about the awesomeness of your team and the pitfalls of others.

Ok, we're at 13 and counting. If we get to 16, I'm going to start a waiting list. If we get too many people, the last rounds are a complete crap shoot. I also don't want individual rounds to take too long.

Amazing. 1-5 odds that botb tweets to his first pick with instructions.

Team Bleacher Report has returned.
