Can I suggest an improvement on what you've put down Bill?

Maybe have a 'wildcard multiplier' where you can use it once and once only per season. This will double your points for this week.

It might just mean that people have more to play for later in the season rather than having 1 person run away with it all. The do similar things for fantasy football
I like the sound of that. As long as posters put it clearly on their prediction so Bill has no issues with point tallying.

Sounds good! I shall make it so, once a season, on specific request.

Are you going with the idea to have two separate leagues so we can have promotion and relegation within our game?

to be honest, and on reflection, I'm not sure we have SO many regulars to make it convincingly workable. I mean one season someone might be in and next season drop out, so there would always be gaps thus not making promotion/relegation that interesting. But that's only my take, I'll always go with the majority ...

There was rather a large table of people entered last time. Not everyone played every week (especially me) but it would still be workable. If a player was in one season and was in the top league, and then they'd fail to participate, then they'd be bottom of that league and be relegated. It's the same as if they were just doing badly. It's just a way of ensuring more people find a reason to keep going. Not like I'm going to be the one to put the effort in, so whatever Owlish wants to do. If he sees sense in it then great. I'm playing either way! I just know I'll be rubbish but wouldn't mind having SOMETHING to play for...

Do a split based on last season then, with top say 2/3 from last year that take part into the Premier Bracket and lower 1/3 + anyone new in the Championship Bracket? And after the first 5 matches, the brackets lock until mid-season (anyone new/returning into the Championship), then split again at mid-season, half and half? Or just do the initial split for the entire season?

a split half-season would be ideal, but someone top of the 2nd tier would transfer to almost top of first tier so not sure how that would work. Or half a 23-game season (1/2 way) and on the 24th game people are reallocated and start again on '0' points ...
