Option 1

For purposes of illustration only

Scotland
Ireland
NW England (Liv, Manc, Carlisle)
NE England (Leeds and up)
West Mids (up to the potteries, down to Worcestershire, down to oxford etc)
East Mids (Leics up to Sheffield)
East (Luton, East Anglia)
West (Bristol, Wales and Westwards...)
London and South East (N Lon, S Lon, Kent)
South (Solent and across the South coast going West)

creating 10 teams on a level playing field for numbers
deeper scoring system to make more teams score points every week
some team identity retained
you play with your mates, still
new players are recruited to join their region


Option 2

possibility 1) Would be a "slotting" process rather than a draft.

ie we rank every player over their online league results going back two years

We publish that list

We form ten teams,

Team 1 gets players ranked 1, 20, 31, 40, 51 etc

Team 2 gets players ranked 2,21,32,41,52

and so on

- Whilst there are no guarantees, these teams should be very even


possibility 2) A draft. Captains chosen and they pick players from a list, according to who they want most.

- This allows them to retain some regional identity, if they wish, via picking
- Logistics of organisation might be tough
- New players allocated to teams in turn/at random once the league starts


that"s some meat on the bones for people to discuss

Just for a bit of clarification.  The 2nd option would see us creating 20 teams, not 10.  In reality enabling 20 captains to pick from the list of 300 odd players is unlikely to happen, so assume option 2 would be delivered as a form of seeded draw, but it would be done in the fairest possible way.  So for example, if Team A gets the first player in round 1 of the draw, they would get the last player in round 2, and so on.

TightEnd:
yes thanks, that makes sense

Here I am currently, with everything we are planning!

No kidding!!  We almost managed to increase our numbers to equal Liverpool and Luton, but not quite.

Sorry, I meant option 1. (I"m an idiot.)
