[FF]: Upcoming Potential Changes--Season Long

I've been turning over some things in my head for a bit in regards to ways to improve Season Long Fantasy FIRST. I figured out that the FRC season is getting to be too many events to handle under our current leadership structure. Incidentally, that leadership structure is two people recruiting a bunch of others to fill in holes--trust me, I'm one of them, and I initially stepped in to fill some holes when it was just Koko Ed running the Season Long league.

So, I have a proposal. Take some time to think about it and let everybody know what you think. There are multiple parts; some could be put into place without others.

1) Deputy Commissioners (or District Commissioners--whatever the title is that you'd prefer--hereafter referred to as "DC" ). The idea here is that one person takes responsibility for running any given area with a district system. Currently, that's Michigan and MAR, with New England and California actively looking to put some district events in play. That person needs to make sure the area has its drafts run and scored, but does not necessarily need to do all the work himself (that's right, DCs can recruit minions and henchmen to do the work).

Note: From here on out, "DC" refers to "whoever is running a draft area, whether it's Ed or someone else".

2) Flexible district scheduling. To go along with the DC idea, when the main schedule was released, areas with district systems get slots that could go to any of their events. The DCs (if any) can pick which event goes in which slot based on how full it is, or any other factor they like to use. And DCs could potentially trade district spots to fit schedules better.

3) Flexible draft scheduling. Instead of a straight 7 PM EST draft time, the DCs would have the ability to flex start times by up to an hour in either direction to better accommodate their schedules or time zones, with proper notice given of course. To date, this has only been done in emergency situations.

4) Block lists (district areas only). Instead of having to submit a list for every draft in a district area, players could submit lists of teams for the entire area--say, 67, 217, 51, 245 for MI--and have those teams lead off that player's random list for any event the teams are at unless a list was actually submitted for that event. I actually did this late last draft season--I told Ed that if I didn't submit a list or make a pick, I wanted random rookies, then random teams, no matter which event was drafting.

This list doesn't really affect anything in terms of drafting, but it has the potential to ease the load on the folks running the game quite a bit. Comments are welcomed on any or all of the suggestions.
