It was tough when we lost the US market because we lost a critical mass of EST to PST players. Prior to BF we did add some events that were in the early evenings for GMT it players, but they were definitely less well attended.
I was thinking about ways to resurrect this idea the other day. If people have any decent ideas and there is significant interest, I'd consider organizing a season in the fall with Stars support level being a major determinant.
Our old season length was about a month, which was pretty action packed. (28 events IIRC).
The old league was awesome.
I can no longer play so take this idea for whatever it is worth.
It wouldn't be the same as before, but maybe you could use results from the weekly tournament to build a leaderboard for a monthly or quarterly or whatever frequency tournament that is capped to the people with the most points. You could even take some of the weekly added money and save it towards that prize pool. This would also require being available only 1 time slot a week, which was my main problem with the league as I had to work much of the time. Also could make for some extra bubble spots in the last tournament before the special one.
