I decided it would be best to have a clean slate to both account for any new or lost players and ensure that every team starts with a chance to contend.
If any of the captains want to keep an old team going, however, that's perfectly fine. canuckslax is doing this with Zimbabwe, and judging by Spoder's post I think he intends to do the same with the Goats (although he'll have to clarify). The draft will be done over, so rosters likely won't stay the same.
This can all still be debated, of course. If enough people want to keep the old rosters and teams, it'll happen and there will be a new draft just for new players.
I wouldn't be against this. Keeps the intensity up with shorter periods and gives captains a bigger role with the intermissions imo.
