Let's see how many formats I can come up with off the top of my head:
--Auction. Lousy for more than one event, or even for one event.
--Survival. See Ed's previous post.
--Free-for-All. Pick 3 teams, any 3 teams, but not the same 3 teams as anybody else. This is probably the least stress on the draft runner: slap it up a week ahead of time, police alliance choices, lock, score.
--Draft format (AKA current).


I think we can have two or three Season Long leagues going and make it work, possibly even making them not run at the same time so it's easier for players to play in as many as they like. Just need to keep the leagues named differently (and tag the drafts differently) so they're separate.


Edit: Current poll results show that weekly drafts and blocking out districts into 1-2 drafts are the most popular options. Automated draft running is also up there--if anybody can implement it...
