I have to admit...it has a shady feeling to it....
I have seen first come first serve(signed up as #1 alt get #1 choice)....I have seen throw it into a pool and do a lottery....but this feels a bit like a snatch and grab
If I were a new guy coming into an established league I would feel disadvantaged as well....just from the simple fact that we all know each other and our personalities and habits(please dont ask about Franks) much less having a team choosen for me by those same people.
Shakey did come to TSN SOM and introduce himself in a properly impressive manner and expressed genuine interest in becoming a part of our community(which has been shrinking people!!) and sharing in the game we love...and in his first vet league he gets ***** slapped from the start?
Personally...in the name of sportsmanship and gentlemanly behavior....I would let the new guy have his choice
My 2 cents for what its worth
