*Will we need to fold two NSFL teams?

[speculadora]

I think there are some small things being missed in comments with regard to contraction. For starters, contracting would bring the number of players who updated *at least once* to 16-17 per team. That kind of updating is not particularly healthy from a sustainability standpoint. I think 3+ updates is a better baseline for that calculation, and we have 75 such players in the NSFL right now. At six teams, that number would equate to 12.5 per team - basically equal to the number of players who have updated once and leaving plenty of room such that an influx of new players wouldn't necessitate expansion (and we shouldn't even be talking about that as a contingency because we have not had anything of the sort lately). Secondly, contracting the NSFL on it's own wouldn't really be enough in my opinion. It would also probably require a dramatic restructure of the DSFL. My preference would be a baseball-like farm system in which all new players are actually drafted to NSFL teams and then sent down by at the team's discretion. I'll probably write a media of my own detailing how I'd approach all of that.
