• Enforcing forfeits to get games played means you have no idea how the teams would've stacked up against each other and throws out the results.

    Encouraging 4-player teams means you will have to eventually pick 3 of those 4 to put forward into future tourneys, etc, meaning that combination may not be the best combination or the one that was placed highly in the London league.

    Having a play-off at the end of the league means you can decide on any kind of mini-tourney you like and the results should be more accurate between the top teams, fixtures are often not similar/comparable/fair when spread out over time (in comparison to a one day tourney at least).

    Also, a shorter league means a more accurate representation of teams within that time frame... some teams may start out really bad and get really good by the end of a long league which throws out comparative results.

    How many games have been forfeited this season?
    I've always thought that the sign of a good team is consistency. You can have good tournaments and bad tournaments, I don't feel these accurately present the teams ability whereas a league that goes on for months will display a teams ability to play consistently...
