I'm looking to get everyone's opinion on a few things including changes made this Season and changes I plan to make for next Season.

1) Should each player have a 'wildcard' to play to allow them to reschedule a game they've missed?
This would be to address the issue of things popping up at short notice. A player will be able to reschedule one game per season if they've missed a Round week or previously scheduled game for any reason.

While I do believe the rules are the rules and it is pointless having rules without sanctions of some kind, I also realise the importance of having a complete set of games played and the need to be flexible for certain circumstances. I want the league to be as professional as possible and games to be played within the generous time limits already provided, but a wildcard will allow a player to decide to put other commitments before the tournament once during a season. This should be more than enough considering there aren't that many games in a Season currently. The complications to be worked out will be a time limit for the game to be rescheduled and we'd have to trust players not to reschedule to their advantage or another player's advantage.

2) Home/Away map system
You should all be familiar with how the Home/Away system works within the current Season. I just want to know if you think it's an improvement. It'd be nice to know why you chose your specific maps too to see how many people actually put thought into it.

3) Players should be forced to 'Check In' to the forums every Round to state availability and organise games.
This would hopefully overcome issues we've had this season of games not being played/left to the last minute. I've found myself trying to organise a lot of games for other people. I think the forum will be the best choice of venue rather than forcing people to install xfire/msn/sign up to facebook etc (although these are also very useful tools for keeping in contact with other players). It'd just be easier for everyone if the forums were used more for organising games. Using either the thread for the current week or sending a PM would be fine.

Current Kapoks StarLeague Supereme Champion turns 26 today, according to the forums.
