I’ve never done anything other than 12 man leagues (and a 11-teamer that I just BSed my way through). But I’ve played in a league where the benches are three more players than standard so that comes out to a standard 14-teamer’s waiver wire.
I have done everything in baseball from a nine team league to a 24 team league and the strategies are very very different between them...“The assumption of good faith is dead”

14 plays fine, it's just deep. Bit more of a crapshoot in terms of who wins the league as a result, but in this case the main thing would be finishing top 4, not placing 1st.
I'll leave signups open til end of day, but I'm not really expecting anyone else based on who has already read the most recent reminder.
We could still go 12/8/8 to get Panzer back in, with peg, Rob, and I filling out the rest of L3. I am not opposed to that plan. (Promotion would still be top 3 from L2 and winner of L3, unless one of the duplicates won L3 in which case #9 in L1 would stay up?)- D3f3nd3r

This wouldn't be unprecedented. In 2012, I called signups at 12/14, but an unofficial L3 formed later with 5 new players and 3 dupes. That was the first year with three leagues, actually (and promotion stayed at 4 from L2, since L3 was unofficial - didn't matter anyway, as the winner of L3 didn't play the next year).In post 81, D3f3nd3r wrote:Also there’s the issue that L3 would be 3/8 people in a second league.- mith

We have 26 if hascow plays; but he only wants to play if it makes an even number, and we don't need him if we have three willing dupes.In post 84, D3f3nd3r wrote:Wait we didn’t math right, we would only need two people playing twice since we have 26 as it stands.
Would be different if we had 28 counting him, I'd certainly ask if he's willing to play to avoid any dupes. But if we're having them anyway...- mith

I agree with all of this. 14 team league, 6 playoff. 14 better than 8. And 3 duplicate not being fun.In post 81, D3f3nd3r wrote:With 14 teams I’d want to expand to a 6 team playoff. I’d rather not play an eight team league personally, but I would if needed. Also there’s the issue that L3 would be 3/8 people in a second league.
In 2012, "L3" was the slacker league that was thrown together because people signed up too late. It was more "oh crap I missed it, can I still play?" and duplicates made sense just to make it happen. Here, we'd be doing it just to avoid a 14 team league, which to me sounds a lot more fun than 8. I'm just one of 26 though, so take it for what it's worth.KMD is the coolest dude who ever lost a bet to me - vonflare- Kmd4390

/inOf all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I'm going to say what I said before. I think a 12 team league is that sweet spot between a scarcity on the WW (14 teams) and saturated (10 teams).
I also feel like L1 shouldALWAYSbe a 12 team and thus L2 should also be a 12 team to prepare for L1 and L3 is just whatever is left. To put in in terms Panzer would understand, L3 is our D league and L1 is our NBA and L2 is what is inbetween or maybe D league isn't the lowest? IDK much about basketball.
L1=MLB
L2=AAA
L3=AA
those that don't sign up/those that sign up but don't play=A
there, that's better.Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
