I understand your point and agree with some sort of a pre-order system. Yet for a large pre-order I just don’t see it as a net positive. For a game piece like the Notes where supply is limited, having a disposable amount of the game piece creates an inherent advantage. When some teams have over 50 game pieces while some are walking on egg shells to keep their single one alive it doesn’t seem reasonable. I won’t pretend to know the full logistics of stocking game pieces but if AndyMark had offered a “full field pre-order” this season then I doubt there would’ve been notes available to regular order until after Week 3 of build.
To quote another thread that discussed this issue.
