FunnyHeadlines Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 He'll probably cap at around 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMurr Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 How many teams will you expand to?I like a league of 32. It just works so well. Two conferences of 16 divided into four divisions of 4 teams each. However over the course of time watch for teams to fold, relocate, and all sorts of instability. I know in the real world to much movement of franchises would be detrimental to a sports league but considering this is a concepts forum, and that it really should be more about the concepts then the day by day activities of the league I want to showcase as much new concepts as I can therefore by ever changing the teams that exist I can do so. Now rest assured the teams that are more popular such as the Buccaneers, Stags and for some reason the Dutchmen, I will try and keep them stabilized so long as they remain popular among you the followers. Concept changes can also come from logo update, uniform changes, eventually secondary logos, alternate uniforms, and woodmarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concept changes can also come from logo update, uniform changes, eventually secondary logos, alternate uniforms, and woodmarks. That's a great plan. I, too, in the NCL, plan to eventually get to 32. I'm also trying to make at least one change/addition pertaining to logos and uniforms every season. I think what JMurr is doing here is awesome, and I think that these conceptual fantasy leagues are fun to run and to follow. The only suggestion I have for him is to add two teams at once next time he expands, so that the scheduling is less weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMurr Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 ANOTHER DUTCHMEN LOSS! Is the misery ever going to end?Look for the Dutchmen to be very aggressive in the offseason. Ed Davison, Bart Kroger, and Jose Louis (three of the leagues four fastest riders) are all free agents this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
