Savage for sure.
I love my progressives.
If you want a blast from the past, until Savage my favorite theme was the legendary BOWIS that was a theme of themes. 24 owners voted on the top 6 themes (one was always a 47m draft) and the themes were run concurrently with prizes for the overall champs.

The reason I am asking is that I would like to do another BOWIS, even though I have never heard of BOWIS. Where I stand right now is to do a mini-Savage, where we do a 12 round draft, but instead of building five teams everyone would build three teams. I would also like to do a six round, seven player draft like the ODL and the 52, but have a $50 million salary cap. I would like to throw a Silent Auction League in there too, because it is different and fun. I’m searching for league #6. I’m also not set in stone on any of the first five themes. If I can get 24 interested people, I’m open to theme league suggestions and voting on which leagues to play, like we used to do in the Theme League Co-op.
Also, I would want to start drafting and building and whatever when the next Savage is around the All-Star break. I assume nobody would want to do this at the same time as Savage. Also, also, I would like to do this once a year, like the baseball championships that they have been doing for 20 years. My hope is that if they can get 96 people to sign up for baseball, we should be able to get 24 for basketball.
If this happens, I want to call it a tournament, not a championship. If all or most of the absolute best players aren’t playing we can hardly call it a championship.
Any thoughts?
