[FSPA] League questions - player opinions wanted

[Dave Hubbard]

1) I'll offer the same thought as I have many times previously: turn the
"party" into opt-in.  Make league dues $30, or $40 if you want the party.
I bet most people would choose the $30.  I'll gladly pay $20 to attend as a
guest if/when the parties are actually interesting again.

2) In order to express an opinion on keeping the new format, one needs to
know what that is.  Where is it documented?  Why is the FSPA website so
horribly out of date?  People were talking about tweaks and modifications
as the season went on, so this seems rather fluid at the moment.  I say
finalize your proposal, THEN send it out for comments.

3) My message to the execs would be: make me believe the FSPA is relevant.
Right now, it feels very much like independent leagues all doing their own
thing, and I would wager many players associate more with the location than
the FSPA.  By way of example, I suspect more Carpool players think of
themselves as playing in the Carpool League, rather than the FSPA League at
Carpool.  Independent leagues in the area exist and are thriving.  I think
it's time to re-sell the idea.
