cheers

Holy Balls, Batman!

I just don't see why anyone would draft a "low level" team that wants to be somewhere else. We certainly wont be.


So why bother with a draft then?

I really haven't answered that question already?

Maybe Kevin will still add their mates in division III but if there was no draft I can assure you that the Sharks, Guppies and Calamari would probably try to add close to one ABBL and two strong division II teams each, no new young teams would get a look in, no balancing, no plan, no league strategy, just anarchy and the rule of the jungle. People say that playing with mates is the most important thing but I can assure you if you have never been in the situation that being in a badly balanced league where each week you are either winning by 50 or losing by 50 is no fun at all and is boring. I think we could say goodbye to Renegade Enterprises, Skyhook Dreamers, Mad Rangas, Warrun Bulls etc, these keen teams would not get in now or ever, instead we would have a bunch more of disinterested but powerful teams that set their lineups and contribute nothing else to the league.

Because some feds aren't as popular as others..

Everyone would be lining up outside the door to try to get into team Kevin.. and no one would want to join the Sharks. Thats why we have the draft as a means to put teams in unwanted feds such as the Sharks. =P

If you guys are afraid other feds will draft your two prospects, you can ask them nicely to be reasonable and save them for you or you can always ask for a trade. We traded away northcote slammers to a fed he wanted to be in. We got in return eggplant.. and I have no idea who got drafted first, eggplant or northcote slammers... maybe someone from your fed can tell us that?

I think what coachnoodles was saying is that we have a draft for the div 2 and ABBL teams, but if any federation voluntarily wishes to have a div 3 team or div 4 team then that team can automatically be inserted into their federation without a draft.
So teams that want div 3 and div 4 teams will get them without having a draft, and those that want div 2 teams and ABBL teams have to use the draft.

Doesn't bother me either way haha, I am looking forward to next season regardless :D

LOL thats what I'm more concerned about.
12 new teams, ready with Supporter long enough for the duration of the PL season and ready to go.

Naker is finally making sense to me for the very first time =P

hahahha it was bound to happen eventually!!
I don't know for sure if there are 12 teams, but there have been a lot of teams being mentioned. Who has the master list of all the teams declaring for the draft? All i know is that Akuma will be so that leaves 11 to go hahah.

Kind of offended by this.

I can assure you that the only team that we would have definitely picked up was the Div IV - yes, div IV team, that was interested and was around for a while. He's dropped off the face of the earth now.

Seriously though - we're not all about winning, clearly. Last season we had zero ABBL teams. We got one, after other Feds already had one, and then Monkey promoted. Several members of our fed know each other externally to BB.
