I have been thinking about this idea for a while and i just wanted to gauge the interest and see others reactions.

The idea behind the league is to replicate what you see in some major sports organizations. I would like for there to be an actual draft. One thing that often leads to the downfall and ultimately the falling apart of teams is the reality that players often are not equipped to manage teams. A league like this would have a seperate person managing each team. Much as a "General Manager" role that you see in major sports.

----How it would work-----

In the first season there would be 60 - 80 players who have all filled out a brief application. In the application it would include: player rank, main role, secondary role, top champs, shotcalling experience, and some other questions that would help gather information. All of this information would be compiled on a spreadsheet.

Then come draft day, each team will pick their players in a snake draft format. This means that the first pick in round 1, would be the last pick in round 2. After the draft is over the teams will be settled. Trades are welcomed and encouraged. However free agent additions can only be added through the free agent pool. This means that you can only bring in players that have gone through our application process.

The schedule of the season and postseason are still tbd. Those details would best be discussed with the General Managers.

---The Second season---

There will be 30 new players, and a 3-4 round draft for the new players. The draft order will be determined based off the previous season standings. Any undrafted player will go into the free agent pool.

------Salary Cap------

The details on this are still very much in the works, but I think a salary cap of some sort will help keep the teams balanced. The only negative in this is trying to keep players honest and smurfs out.

Salary of each player will be based off his/her highest rank. Then the salary will go up by a fixed amount per season.

For example: a Plat 3 player would have a salary of 3000 in his first season. Then in his/her second season the salary would be increased %10 coming to a new total of 3300.

Each team would have to stay under a certain salary cap. This would essentially put in effect an average elo barrier. It will also make it to where if one team is very dominant one season, the following season they may be over salary and have to drop/trade players.

-----What needs to happen to make this a reality-----

I would need a ton of help running a league like this. I would need people who are skilled in various areas. I would also need 6-10 General Managers that can work closely with me to make this league work.

If you are interested or think this is a good idea please let me know, tell your friends, get some momentum building around this idea. If you have some ideas on how this could be improved on or things to make it work, im open to any feedback.
