Time to cutdown on leagues

There are a ton of leagues that just aren't filling up. With the private leagues it has greatly reduced the interest in public leagues. The public leagues should be scaled back for the time being imo.

I agree. I just wish the other Beta league would fill up so we could get more beta data.

I would play in a third beta league.

I am not sure how you would accomplish this. The coaches who have built up competitive teams in the existing leagues are not going to want to see those teams vaporized, especially if they have paid for credits along the way. Certainly, no more public leagues should be added; but that hasn't happened in quite a while anyway.

New leagues won't be automatically created until the others are full (or nearly full).

How many people are truly interested in hanging around in leagues that are 40-50% CPU. MFN leagues do not allow customization so those do not really have the issue where owners spent credits. If JBD wanted to archive those leagues for people interested in seeing records or whatever without having the league active that could be an option. If the player base isn't really growing then there isn't much point in the number of leagues we have right now.

So many folks that join custom leagues, never even use the custom option.

Why is the number of leagues even an issue for anyone other than JDB?

If you don't want to be in one of the leagues without enough active owners, then don't be.

Simple.

But it goes against those owners with multiple accounts who make questionable trades

They could always allow for leagues to merge or for the transfer of teams from leagues that don't have enough owners to other leagues to fill them out.
