I am in Field of Dreams (thanks CDC for taking me on last season) and this is my first "moving to new season" experience. That being said - is it normal to wait 1+ months to start a new season? I know we had a few that left for one reason or another (8) but this seems like a very long time to wait to start another season. I was wondering what the average wait time is?
I feel I have forgotten everything I was planning to do this season with such a long wait :). I think to prepare for the next turnover I better start a diary!

Good worlds will have low turnover, and will have new owners already lined up to fill any openings when the world rolls.  That's on the commissioner to ensure both of those things happen.

Sounds like that's not the case with FOD.

If you have high turnover (8 is fairly high), the commish needs to understand why that is happening and "fix" it.  If he's not doing that, then he's really not doing a very good job.  And the rest of the world suffers for it with long wait times to start.

I bumped a thread where I ranked the worlds of HBD.

On the 4th and 5th posts you will find worlds ranked by turnover and then by wait time.

The number in each ranking is over a 4 season period, so that if a world shows 20 in the turnover ranking, that means that they averaged about 5 each season.
Same with wait time, you should divide the number by 4 to determine the average amount of days that world waited between each of the last 4 seasons.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the information!
