As a former member of USA A 1 I wanted to post this here.
Hey all,
If you haven't looked at Bort's polls yet you may want to because they will significanly change GLB if they are acted upon. Vote as you want but I just wanted to try to rally the troops to my cause. The significant leader currently is a plan to completely reorganize the leagues based on team level. All of the hard work done recruiting and building your guys in an effort to scratch your way to the top of your league will be useless, as you will now be placed in a league where everyone is designed to go 8-8 (of course this won't happen). Teams that are significantly lower level with superior builds and gameplanning - and there are many of them - will suddenly be relegated to inferior leagues again, even though they may have already won promotion multiple times against higher-level players.
This "fix" by Bort corrects something that is not really any problem at all. Bad teams get relegated and good ones promoted - give it time and it will work itself out in the wash.
Finally, and most importantly, this will be the end of our league as we know it. All of the friendly (and unfriendly) rivalries will cease to exist.
Fwiw I voted for the option that allows more teams to be relegated and promoted each season - I think this will speed up the more-even matchups Bort desires. I'd encourage all of you to vote for that option or the option that makes no change at all. Thanks.
