I thought Canadians stick together? And your squad isn't very active.

Should try to go for at least 7 solid squads and if one really has to puss out and fold last minute then ok.

6 squads better than 7 tbh

Side note, I know USL has always been anti-tree, but would people like trees added? I know it may encourage camping, but could also add another layer of creativity to flanking and abushes. Just a thought.

agreed, no one wants byes

Trees might help lower tier squads fall out of positions and add some extra physics to hide behind. In term of competitive games adds more opportunity to hide positions and ambush.

Given USL's game structure, aka all matches are 30 minutes precisely, it makes scheduling very predictable.

You could easily have a squad play two matches a night on alternating nights throughout the season.

Week 1:
A vs B
C vs D
E vs F
A vs G

Week 2:
A vs C
B vs D
E vs G
C vs F

So on and so forth. For some convenience it would be best if the squad playing the double header did play the final two time slots of the night, back to back, of course. That way their players aren't sitting idle for an hour with an itch in their pants that makes them wander off.

If you have the players for 7 squads and all 7 squads are at least somewhat serious, you shouldn't immediately discount it.

Thinking with your head. Wish things worked on logic around here.

We proposed this last time we didnt have even numbers, no one was down for it.

That is unfortunate. You would think people would be down for more organized, hopefully competitive, squad battles.

BTW, how are ya'll on Refs?

BTW, the reason I would suggest trying 7 squads, assuming all 7 are serious, it will hurt you less if one bites the dust.

not good at all lol.

and yeah not trying to kick any squads out, i just would hope they accept a doubleheader rather than having byes

Emp trying to bring change to this shit league is a lost cause

Wouldn't say I'm trying to change!

Just giving my input as someone who remembers all to well how these e-Leagues go. Just sharing my idealist opinion on some of these topics.

Mecca, legit I'm glad you joined a squad bro. I was worried you had said fuck all to this whole thing.

I have I just like my buds on apoc

I thought the salary was perfect until the cap started getting raised. Shoulda polled about that and also the roster cap gets raised to quickly. How salary was really you could have a pretty stacked squad you just had to trade like 2 good players for 2 mediocre players on the roster. You could easily have 6 or 7 solid players starting. It just requires more strategy by the captains. Besides it really doesn't affect anyone outside of the top 2 squads.

Double length season is getting old. That works better with salary imo. I would prefer 7 or 8 squads playing once/season. Probably would sustain better activity through the whole thing because there are more non-stacked squads which makes it fun

pls no double season

Double season won the last poll before the start date one :/
