2019 was so rough for me. The people voted me champion and I failed them. vbprisoner attacked me with his draft grades. Fight On! called me snobby and made fun of me doing poorly in 2018 EVEN THOUGH I WAS BUSY. Both my top setters got injured. Poor me. You asked for it earlier, but only three of us have played in every league. Your 12th place finish in 2018 is a glaring abomination on this list. I commend Fight On! for making fun of you for doing poorly. 2016-2017-2018-2019 vballfreak808 1st / 2nd / 3rd / 7th trojansc 3rd / 6th / 7th / 1st Hawk Attack 4th / 4th / 12th / 2nd 2018 should be stricken from the record. I was really busy.

I’m down for an early draft. I thought per match was a pretty good metric for the strength of each team. It’s a nice balance of luck (players playing in 3-set matches vs. 5) and strategy. Raw totals is dependent on matches played and per set is perhaps too cut and dry—though, I would like to try per set for at least one season.

Sorry I've been absent! Ended one job this week and have a month off until the new one starts! Officially a Gator once more Got a lot to learn about providing structure for this, especially in light of current events, but I'm willing! Count me in.

Unfortunately. Over the years the competition has definitely gotten better, more people are active and aware of players around the country. Plus adding more teams to the league takes away a lot of potential quality players numbers wise. My 5th (Iosia), 7th (Cross), 9th (Marjama), 11th (Heidelberg) did not pan out well for me. But adding Ka'aha'aina-Torres and Kerber helped a little bit. Oregon was a wash for me with Stone ending up switching to opposite and getting more swings but went to a 6-2 to take away from Robinson's numbers. Bajema and Scully were solid, Patterson was good but not on a great team, and Hillyer was good but nothing special from past years. If I had to draft right now, I'd honestly be lost, a lot of good players with solid numbers graduated.

Confirmed. Not sure if we should draft early on the chance the season is delayed/canceled. I was think we should have a draft, whether there’s a season or not. It’s unclear when any announcement will be made, so it’s better to be prepared than to not have anything planned before August. Either way, the draft is a ton of fun and it would at least give us something fun to do, and at least see how the 2020 draft would have played out. I guess we don’t need an early draft, but I do think we should have one at some point, season or not.

I guess we don’t need an early draft, but I do think we should have one at some point, season or not. Draft prep is a ton of work. Personally, I definitely would not want to do a "real" draft if there's no season (a fun fake draft without prep is different). I also think an early draft is pretty impractical at this point. All of this should be up to the new admins, but last season, we started the draft on August 3rd, for a season start date of August 30th. There was major wiggle room in there (we ended with 2 weeks to spare), so I think realistically the admins could make a call on whether or not to have the season by the last week of July, and push the start date back one week (to give people ~2 weeks to do draft prep). A bit of a squished timeline, but I think that's unlikely to cause an issue, and waiting a bit longer means it'll be more likely the admins will have an official NCAA decision on the season.

We'll likely be starting with a new thread to discuss rules. We'll post last year's rules and allow some discussion about new rule suggestions or adjustments to last year's. Then we'll put that to a vote! Once the rules are sorted out, we'll move forward with a draft (provided that the season does happen). I highly doubt that we'll start any sooner than last year, especially if it's just two of us. We'll need all the time we can to prep!

I highly doubt that we'll start any sooner than last year, especially if it's just two of us. We'll need all the time we can to prep! Just a quick thought on this: obviously, do what you want, but the admins are the admins so that they can admin. AKA y’all should be responsible for coming up with the framework for the league and most of the rules. Votes can be proposed to the league for things you guys are thinking of switching up, but not for the entire format. Just my opinion as a former admin. People have their own motivations for why they want to implement or remove certain rules, and the goal of the admins should be to provide the best experience possible for the participants. That means making choices that benefit the entire league and all participants vs. only certain strategies.

Hello all, where are we at in getting a league together? I know there's still a lot of unknown with the development of Covid-19, but it looks like the season is more-or-less of a "go". Definitely think it's time to start preparing. Fight On! agean09
