Just spoke with ChrisSwann about this on the way home, and I know it didn't work last time but maybe it's worth re-visiting:
We have a fairly large influx of new and enthusiastic players who all want to get better but there's no way to play competitive games at the moment (except Wrists/Troika). Could we try a winter league? ABC format and only 1-2 games per session so that the vast majority of games are still casual? Throw-ins are fun but it's sometimes good to just play to get a result rather than to have fun/experiment/dick around.
Dunno how the newer players would like this, but at least a few of them are quite team-orientated/results-driven and maybe this format would promote that attitude?
I'm not really wedded to the idea, but I like how more people are playing and I'd like to keep the newer people interested/motivated and progressing and I think sometimes that incessant throw-ins doesn't really help people move forward.
