1 Game on first weekend:
You're referring to blow- or shut-outs and forgetting that if a clash is tightly contested, carrying Game 2 over actually adds to the value of the fixture, rather than detracting. It also maintains the timeframe for future rounds and avoids other matchups being rescheduled.
By the way, re the change to best-of-3 qtrs :
- The change was made 6 days ago. It was more-or-less just fixing a forgotten consensus.
- It's in line with the setup from the season prior.
- Only one council rep disagreed with it, and they only disagreed last season, not this season (that was me btw). In September this year (as the season started to get underway) there was consensus with repeating the same style play-offs as the previous season.
Well maybe posts need to be made public but read-only and then the opinions/vote can be done privately in the council. Unless it's something more sensitive that needs to be private. But most of the stuff discussed there probably does not have a reason why it can't be public knowledge. That might results in more opinion and people actually knowing WTF is going on throughout the season.
Searching around there is very little in terms or rules/structure posted these days. If it is there it is extremely hard to find. Anyone who takes a break for x amount of seasons like I did will come back and look for a refresher on some of the rules/structure and find nothing. Then when something is made public it's last minute. Is the council information so sensitive that no one should read it but squad "reps"? Or is it public knowledge that everyone should be able to read and then get their rep to make a reply/suggestions/vote after discussion amongst squad.
It's a little silly to ask a rep to repeat a potentially long winded or semi-complicated post to everyone in their squad when the posts can be made public for everyone to read. If the reps are supposed to discuss and pass on the information anyway then why not just make the forum available for everyone to read but only the reps can post.
