I do really like the idea of a fixed time, I am Eastern USA Time, but I dont mind if the game is at a odd time, I probably wont be watching it live anyway, My BB time is limited.

But I am for sure in favor of a BB designated time.

I would 100% support Commish @Wagners decision of what that time is.

Thanks very much, T-Lit, for your trust and giving opinion straight away! :)
It always speeds up things when people openly state their opinion ASAP (they have made up their mind)... Let's hear what others think of designated time for matches!?
The more I think of it the more I personally like it.

Only 2 to go after you volunteered!
So you meant that if one team would become "a challenger" (which takes 15 tokens), that doesn't have that many tokens?

That would truly be a problem... And that's why we try to find volunteers (2 more).
If we won't find volunteers, then we need to likely resort with the old plan, so that everybody sends half of their challenges. But I still think it streamlines things if half of us would do that, and other half just accepts all the offers. Now that the responsibility is shared, it's more complicated and especially more prone to errors in some sense.

Also, it would be way more arduous to edit league schedule with BB forum text editor tools, whereas if we choose 8 challengers-option, we can just mark those responsible for sending challenges to a team name list with a simple sign, such as *C* (or whatever we'd choose to use).

I can do this

Thanks Wagner
BTW i have 140 tokens so i can send challenges

The age of a teams players is alot of information to get, do you need anything from us or are you able to use a program for it?

I will be considerably younger next season, I am starting a new batch of trainees, hoping for some good ones, we will see. It will be hard to make cuts, but I will have to release 3 players next season, 1 or 2 may be a rotational player that just has not gotten his groove yet....

Fun times! :-)

I hope you get both! :-)

We can always do a revote or just go with my name! XD I'm joking of course.

So, Wagner, have you decided on the playoff format?

There's nothing wrong with the IHGL. I could also vote for a revote as my 2 different suggestions lost in such an ugly manner (total of 1-1,25 votes, depending on if T-Lit's comment is count as a quarter of a vote!) xD

As we had to concentrate so much on other aspects during the last 30 hours or so, the decision on playoffs format is still pending. But as for my current view, if I'd have to say something now, I think it'd be like 85-95% probability that I'd go with the same playoff format regardless the 2 added teams. Like mentioned, that works really well for instance in Liiga (Finnish 'premier' ice hockey league). I know it'd be slightly unfortunate for you MrJ for the first season, but I hope you'll get a lot out of it anyway despite not winning all the games you'd prefer! :)
