The 2nd National Online League of Season 6
Jeffers:
Personally I"d def choose option B, as had more fun in this format, than the large sized regional teams that took place.
I don"t see any reason why numbers would be hit either, if a regional side is struggling and not going anywhere people would more than likely just stop playing, where you"d feel more keen to carry on playing in a smaller team with friends / family.
It would be necessary to also have a player market for those that may struggle getting 4 - 6 players, so noone is getting excluded. You could also have an option for new people to join your sides if they wished, during the cause of the campaign.
Overall a smaller team format is far mor equally balanced. One region has 20 players, one has 10. Doesn"t seem fair. Only way to stop that is by limiting number of people per region, but then you"re driving players away. With a smaller team format this wouldn"t be an issue. Teams are in an equal footing.
I think with a format of smaller teams also gives you more room to develop the league. Multiple divisions, promotion, relegation etc etc.

To be honest I really enjoyed the National League before it changed last year, though I must say it was mainly due to our brilliant Captain Waz. Last year I lost interest as there were not many in our team and I hardly knew anyone. If it is based on the previous format or something similar I would be interested in playing in the on-line league again.

Couple of points
1. Seems Scotland and Wales are being criticised for having too many players and this affects the league.. Given their population in comparison to the regions of England is the problem not the lack of recruiting by the regions. Paul did a great job getting people to play for Scotland. Population of London is greater than my wee country.
2. If you go for the small team format over that length of time, player availability may become a big issue if teams have players who cannot play every week.
Time for a compromise

Perhaps a compromise could be regional teams, limited to x amount of players, but each region can have more than 1 team (A,B,C etc)? This way would seem to keep regional identity, develop more leagues because of the larger number of teams and keep peoples interest in more, because its more tight knit.
