Why postpone it until next season? I thought it would be played this season. 14 participants, 13 matches for each on neutral ground and then the placement matches. No need to make anything difficult out of it.
As for starting this season, timing is already off like MrJ wrote (after this post of yours), so in order to start that we'd have to play two matches per week (instead of one). Also, the groundwork (decisions for example in terms of rules, different level penalties for violations of certain rules, regular season and playoff system, name of the league, who's responsible of what especially considering league commissioner(s?)/"league staff" duties and sending challenges, etc.). MrJ already has done lot of work with creating such documents, but we still haven't had much discussion about the additions (which we have plenty of time to do should the league start at the beginning of the next season). All this seems easy, but if you want to do it as well as possible (which is my approach to BBHG league as it's the most important thing ever for me in BB, nothing comes even close), there is more work than most would imagine.
I don't want to offend anyone either (as I want to create this a warm spirited community where we all support each other), LA-flaterik123, but I just do seem to have more thorough approach to this league and so I feel we're getting payoff later if we (having said that nothing is required from anyone else, but opinions and discussion are very welcome) do planning as well as possible, and in a thorough manner. Maybe, or possibly this league might not be as important to anyone else as it is to me, so that could explain some of the willingness to put in the hours and not just quickly put something together. (Yes, I plan and think a lot more about BBHG league than I write here in the forum).
One could just throw out some structure and rules (which wouldn't likely be taking into account many possibly problematic scenarios - heck, maybe even we couldn't if we'd come up with set of rules and penalties with MrJ, but at least there's a serious effort going on, you can trust on that!) and just play, but it's definitely not my style and I try to consider many aspects to make it as ideal and fair as possible for all, while still taking care the league won't become a wrong kind of playground (penalties, anyone?) and thus stays a great place for all us to play.
Personally I'm quite patient, (and in most cases) meticulous and thorough person, so I´d prefer this approach and I don't feel that things would fall apart or interest will fade if start would be at the start of the homegrown league would be at the start of the next BB season. We already have 14 teams confirmed to start the next season (and I'm not sure if teams that MrJ asked confirmation expected it to start next season - I've had that impression all the time that we are planning to start at the beginning of season 68).
To be continued...
