Big Change Discussion - Sim Pace

[Huckleberry]

Okay, I was in another league that folded which was a fast sim league.  A month was simmed every day and the schedule was set up so that a season took two weeks.  It was a pretty enjoyable experience until the commish got fed up with the hassles of running an OOTP online league because of all the glitches that happen from time to time.

With that in mind, what are everyone's thoughts on changing our schedule to two weeks per regular season sim?  The major downside to this is if anyone uses 7-day lineups during the regular season.  Here's the change I would propose if we do this, assuming obviously enough people are interested in it (claphamsa, I know you're a yes vote):

• Regular season sims maintain the Su-Mo-We-Fr schedule but are two weeks of game time.
• Postseason sims remain one week per sim but are daily sims.  This allows people more lineup control in the postseason.
• Offseason sims remain one week per sim and daily.  This allows some back and forth as owners battle for free agents.

Based on the sim schedule I think this would cut about real life 3-4 weeks per season.  Thoughts?

That sounds good to me.  The only downside I see is at the trade deadline.  People might need more time trying to work out a last minute deal.

I vote yes.

Okay, that's 4 yes votes in all likelihood already so I'll put up an official voting thread.

I have this concern as well. It would be great if we could promote the deadline more and possibly schedule a night where many of us will try to be available and online.

for what its worth in RANZBA the deadline is super active and thats FAST sim.

I do agree we should have a standing trade deadline chat session in the full chat room.
