I was originally signed up, but decided to back up because it was simply too much work. I want to do a FF, but having a draft every night is simply too much work. Also, I know on average 15 teams per regional so ranking every team, for me atleast, seemed kinda like a waste. I may get one team I know, but after that it would basically be random and thus my chances of winning would be almost based on chance. I know it was touched on earlier, but I find the way it is run now very confusing and unorganized. I still haven't found the rules and how points are decided. I think this may be a good system, but there are just too many regionals. With the amount of regionals increasing, I think this system will eventually be nearly impossible.
If you want to know the rules, all you have to do is ask. We don't care how big the lists are, just that they are present. (I know I'll take someone saying "Just give me random teams" as a list--the point is to show that you are still an active participant.) Points are awarded according to the FF standard system--2 points for a win, 1 for a tie, -2 for a loss, anywhere between 2 and 42 points for an award, depending on award; seeding has a slightly different range.

It will eventually be nearly impossible for humans to run this. There is a FF addition to CD in the works, but it's been that way for a while now. There is another system in the works as well.

I don't know if your system would work. I do know I wouldn't want to run it. However, as has been previously noted, if you don't like the current Season Long, make your own Season Long with your own rules and have fun.
