Title: Ideas for Team Spirit
Post by megajester on Feb 1^st, 2011, 4:18pm

One of the great things about the League last year was that the clubs started to get a following. Preparations for this year's League won't be getting started until after the World Championship, but we can still start getting the buzz going! How do you think we can make the League more exciting for both supporters and players?

It might be hard to build excitement this year as soon as everyone sees how utterly dominant the Rockies will be. The other teams will become dispirited and hemorrhage players, fueling a cycle in which the Rockies win even more easily. I don't know what can be done to save the AWL... maybe level the playing field by giving the Rockies -5 league points at the start of the season?

Bonus rounds in the form of one-day blitz mini-tournaments.

Gryffindor has Nearly Headless Nick for our team spirit. But it's much harder for muggles to get one and they usually complain if they do.

How about a Cricket World League instead, then? :P
We'd play with Nearly Headless Nick's head.
