And who would determine who they'd be? And why would they do it? And lastly, and most importantly, why would anyone want or listen to a Commissioner who has no stake in the world?

WifS. I have no idea. Because he could boot their *** after the season. Or possibly during it.

I floated the idea of "Training Ground" worlds for n00bs. An abbreviated season with everything the same except a shorter ST, regular season and playoffs. No credits, no rewards, one season only. 90 games(3 and 3 against everyone in your league), 4 team playoff.

Of course, this doesn't give everyone the "new car smell" but it gives the n00bs a place to learn.

Take that idea...make it 3-30 game seasons, so they get training on season rollover.

You can't get a real feel for position player fatigue in such a short time but I do get your point.
