I’ve always wanted to end trading before the 1st game. That we would all prepare our teams in the off season . I know this is not popular, but I would like to try it.
with all the usual bullshit about tanking that comes up; doesn't this just encourage it? you always had your good, bad and undecided; now the undecided won't even play half a season to determine if their team has a chance and possibly trade to improve.... they decide before we even start that they can't make it and you lose the teams that used to be competitive for part of a season at least ....
Bay City, possible or we find that there becomes more teams that remain competitive during the season. I don’t know, we’ve never tried it. Also, the idea of just playing the games during the season sounds really good. And it would lighten the administrative load in season.
