(S23) - PT 5 - A New Leaf

First of all, I will start this off by saying that I am glad for the change in name overall. It makes sense for the league from an image standpoint and as such I feel this change was something that had to be done. It’ll be tough to stop calling it the ‘NSFL’ but we’ll get there eventually and grow better because of it.

Now, onto what I feel is next on my list of importance for changes, and I am choosing to focus on something that is already being implemented behind the scenes; that is, the changing of website and move away from Jcink. Jcink definitely has its issues as the home of our league in many different ways, and it goes without saying that we have all but outgrown its constraints by this point. With a change in forum towards a new website - similar to ones used by affiliates like SHL - we can grow at an improved pace and get new players more interested in the league without getting turned away by outdated, clunky website design.

On top of this, another system I would like to be implemented (and I know is likely on the docket for management as well) is the automation of tasks that are currently unnecessarily manual. Namely, one of the biggest things that we should look to automate is that of the Banking system; being able to track your bank account from the site and make transactions automatically would serve to make things easier for both sides of the table - banking team and players alike - and once again, make it easier for new players to keep track of.
