Who else is with me to get ride of the bye days. They should just be counted in right before a game or right after a game at a specific point in the season. There is no reason to have a day off really.

I usually find myself still checking my team and what not, just would be nice to have it not give us a bye day.

screw off days!

seriously, my theory is this. i think they keep them there because it helps us realize that we want to play this game. we **** and moan endlessly, and then, on our day off, we **** and moan about the day off. but it adds a little perspective :)

I think it is there for scheduling purposes. I think it is difficult to get the schedules to match up perfectly without a few built in off days.

I suppose although it would seem that with 12 teams an even # it could be done quite easily and could even be set in stone with 2-3 different variations based on season ending ranking in your half of the conference.

Week 1: 1v6, 2v5, 3v4
Week 2: 6v6, 5v5, 4v4, 3v3, 2v2, 1v1... ECT...

It could be done quite easily and if you gave me 30 mins I could write down 2-5 different schedules and it could all just be based on where you ended up in conference.

Also this would eliminate the whole playing teams back 2 back during the season.

Voila! There you go no bye weeks what so ever. Just add an extra practice on week 5 and week 11 and count it for recovery and be done.
