Expansion Poll #2

Post by Ted » Mon Jul 09, 2018 10:45 pm

The governing board is currently discussion the next round of expansion. We always kind of figured 32 was the natural end point and that 30 teams was just a stopgap. What was never discussed was the timing of going to 32 from 30. We're working on that right now with some fairly vigorous internal debate. So, we've decided to step back and collect some data, to help us frame our discussion a bit more. To that effect, there will be a series of polls released. Please take time to respond. Also, I'm not really looking to start a huge debate about various things. There will be time for that later. This is just an initial collection of opinions to see how you all feel we are. (As a book keeping note, I will not be taking points for any of these polls).

I don't mind the N/A options, but you don't need to say anything either. just don't select anything. I'm too lazy to add and coutn an N/A option.

Well I think we should say something even if it is n/a otherwise not only does it look like we’re being rude by ignoring it but Matt will start hassling us for not contributing to future plans or not caring lol

None of the above? The new playoff format is my least favorite part of expansion. 2nd is having the league shaken up again right when I was starting to get used to the last expansion.
