Over the years I have heard many complaints about our fall season being so long. What does everyone think about splitting the fall season into a fall and spring season. I was thinking our fall/spring seasons could be 14 or 16 weeks and the summer season could be 8 weeks.
I know that would make us go through signing up teams twice and we would have to decide how awards would work. Tournaments might have to overlap the starting of the next league.
However, this would allow those that don't want to commit to 6 months to be able to play and it would also allow us to get new comers into the league. Currently if someone asks to get in say in November, the next opportunity they would have would be June.
Thoughts?

I think this is something to consider next year. We are in the middle of a major change right now and a lot of preliminary planning and communciation has been made with the understanding that we have 2 leagues per year. If we were to change it now, we will have to revise those plans to include holding more meetings and tournaments, needing promotional materials 3 times per year instead of 2, etc. I personally think we should get the big change underway and running smoothly before we start making others.
I wasn't proposing when to change that just to see what people think about it.
Sorry didn't finish by previous post. Also, if people are interested in a change it would be too late to implement for this fall, but should be considered come summer time and scheduling for next fall.
I like the idea of shorter league seasons, especially if the dates would mirror K-State's fall, spring, and summer opening and closing dates. This might help attract more college students to the league if our scheduling was more "collegiate-friendly."
That was kind of what I was thinking too.
Whatever happened to this idea? Maybe it's something we might want to try for Fall 2009-Spring 2010.
