Here is an idea for Pete:

why don't you reverse the league order (or just shuffle the order) before the start of each new season? I agree Admirals is most likely the fullest league because it's ranked #1 in the list.

Simply put the league on top of the list with most bots in Div 2 and it should become more balanced.

I have no idea for the "why". I guess because A-Z is the order by alphabet.

Wouldnt it be confusing if I reverse the order?

I think the established players won't be confused as they know the score. New players will be confused anyway, no matter what the order looks like.

Another option would be to add a "hint" for beginners and "suggest" a starting league (i.e. the league with most bots).

However, I'm not fussed. It's just an idea in case we want to solve some leagues from being more competitve than others. If you dislike the idea, no problem..

No, that's not the point

Much more I lost a good portion of users on the "team selection process", and gave it a try to make it more comfortable, even by adding a guide.

Now I am just worried if any changes could create more confusion than we need. That's all.

I understand the issues about "too many changes", although this change isn't nowhere as significant as implementing a new coaching system e.g. However, naturally, once Admirals 2 is full new players will have to search for an "empty" league they can start in. To offer an empty league from the start rather makes things less complicated in my opinion. But as I said, I'm not breaking my head over this. I just thought it was a decent idea..

Admiral is full so it will go to the next one and so on with few teams joining further leagues... But we won't have this problem for so long if the growth of managers continues that way

Yeah, you are both right. I don't know why I need to suggest stuff half the time. Things will sort themselves. Plus this thread is on bots & rankings anyway..
