We've had our share of slackers and folks who've bailed, but on the whole season 1 has gone pretty well, the regular season will be winding up shortly and the playoffs will crown the first ever EPL champion for all the fame and glory that accords somebody.
With all that said we have to look towards season 2, and the plan to both expand EPL a bit and also make it less of a slog and easier to get matches.
We'll be removing the expanded inducements, that was a mistake on my part, and we'll be moving to 4:00 a turn, so folks can take their time on matches, if you're playing once a week, the clock should be a friendly reminder and not serious pressure.
We'll be shortening the regular season to 7 games and expanding the field to 32 teams with 16 making the playoffs. To do this we'll be making 4 divisions of 8 teams each. The goal for these 4 divisions is to make them so they are all geographically easier for people to play each other.
Division 1 will be Western USA
Division 2 will be Eastern USA
Division 3 will be Europe.
Division 4 will be Australia, unless we can't get 8 Aussies, then it'll be a second Euro division and Danger and any other Aussies will have to figure out what time zones suit them best.
So for anyone currently in EPL and wanting to take part in Season 2, sign up here.
