I think the slight offset in the numbers of gameload is that effectively we will currently be averaging a bit more than 3 matches per week.
Lux makes an interesting suggestion as well. - uppiing the number of home/away games for a bigger impact of those games. - It is also possible to scratch 1 or both random games, but perhaps we would then miss the random factor... meh ??
I of course respect practical considerations. It has to be possible to set it up and a reasonable set up to get the work done for those that do the work. Assuming that its possible and speaking to the original proposal, from my perspective its still "just" a doubling of the game load - 38 games instead of 19, but I do recognize that its going to be fairly heavy in the space allowed. Personally, Im confident that I can handle it. I dont think it amounts to an increase in missed turns and the extra load will mean that the extra games to go through will be played when Im playing anyway. - Will take a bit more time of course, amd in my busy periods, I probably will spend less time and though on some games. - I doubt anyone will notice as I play like a small bag of wet dirt at those times anyway.
So Im still for it. As importantly Im also interested in other ideas to up the number/importance of home/away games especially if one setup can gather great consensus and ticks the boxes for practicality in that it would "only" create a limited one time extra workload that the hard and much appreciated workers who run and set it up would be able AND willing to handle.
There are quite a few possibilities. - 38 matches 2home games 2 random, 38 matches 2 home games 1 random, 38 matches 2 home games no random.
19 matches 2 home, 2 random, 2away - 19 matches 2 home, 1 random, 2 away - 19 matches - 2 home, no random, 2 away.
Given the wide range of options, perhaps what we are trying to answer at this point is simply. - Do we want to adjust to add more importance to home/away games, more specifically try to bring back some/more home game feeling/advantage to the games.- In that respect, who is for, who is indifferent, who is against.
As mentioned, Im for. - Personally, I would prefer upping the number of games and seperating the home and away. I would be willing to sacrifice a bit of the random though, so my current favorite would be 38 matches - 2 home games, 1 random or 2 homegames, 2 random. Of the 19 match set up, I would prefer the 2 home, 1 random, 2 away or 2 home, 2random, 2away.
Yeah, I know. That didnt really simplify anything.
