       A New Team Application Subforum
   DIR By: LimitedWard
       Date: January 27, 2013, 12:00 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       There should be a more formal way to create a new team in the
       league. With that, there could be an application process and a
       separate subforum for new teams to submit to. I suppose I could
       moderate it seeing as I'm working on recruiting new members.
       Suggested requirements for new teams:
       
       - The team must consist of at least 3 free agents with an
       interest in starting a team. None of the players on the
       prospective team's list may be part of another team.
       
       - Each member of the prospective team listed in the application
       must verify that they desire to be part of this new team. This
       is to prevent players from taking any 2 other free agents' names
       and placing it on the list.
       
       - Each prospective team must have a general manager appointed by
       the prospective teammates. Though it's not necessary, it is more
       proper to have the GM submit the team application rather than
       another player.
       
       - An application must be submitted a minimum of 2 days before
       the season draft for a team to be considered for that season.
       
       - Prospective teams must be approved a minimum of 1 day before
       the season draft for those teams to be allowed to join the
       league for that season.
       
       - Teams accepted to join the league will start at the lowest
       division (currently Division B). If these new teams causes an
       overflow of their division, one of two things will happen. 1) If
       the overflow causes 20+ teams in one division, a new lower
       division would me made (for example, if there are 20+ teams in
       division B, Division C would be made), and all the new teams
       would be placed in that new division. 2) If the overflow causes
       less than 20 teams in one division, the top teams from the
       lowest division (as many as possible without causing an overflow
       to the next lowest division) would be promoted to leave only 16
       teams (including the new teams). If, under option 2, less than 3
       new teams are not placed in a division, those teams would not be
       permitted to play that season. Instead, those teams would be
       placed on a waiting list for the following season.
       Procedure for new team acceptance:
       
       - Application for a new team is approved by either a moderator
       or league commissioner.
       
       - A new poll is made in the General Manager Discussion subforum,
       quoting the original application. This poll decides whether or
       not to accept the prospective team for that season. Not all GM's
       are required to vote. There must be a majority vote (more than
       50% of those who voted that are in favor of adding the team) for
       the team to be accepted. If the team is accepted, proceed to
       step 3. If not, proceed to step 4.
       
       - The team is given it's own private locker room and is added to
       the schedule for next season unless an overflow conflict occurs
       (see suggested requirements for new teams), which would result
       in the team being placed on the waiting list.
       
       - The team is deferred and not recognized by the league for that
       season. The prospective team may apply again next season.

       ummm, you got it kinda right...
       the way it works is someone gives an application with their new
       team name and logo, then the new expansion GM must get at least
       5 new players into the league, 3 of which he may keep on his
       team.
       His team is given last overall pick in the first round of his
       division (expansion teams play in an expansion-playoff to
       determine division)
       also, the max amount of teams per division is 16, not 20
       more than 16 is just too many and would make seasons too long
       pretty much all applications are accepted, and i try to have 4
       expansion teams a season (more if possible)
       near the end of each season I post an expansion team deadline so
       that teams have enough time to find 5 new players and it gives
       me time to find hosts and officials for the expansion playoff

       I knew that the maximum amount of teams in one division was 16,
       but in theory, you would need an influx of 20 teams in order to
       make an entirely new division because the minimum number of
       teams per division is 4.

       no we dont need 20
       divisions do not need to have the same # of teams.
       also, say division b has 12 teams and we want to expand to
       division c
       3 teams will be getting relegated from division b, so we only
       need another 3/4 expansion teams
