Well, I guess it can first be said that this season will definitely have some of the most stiff competition IDL&#039;s ever had. With invites being sent around instead of just everyone and their mother having a chance to be drafted, a captain can see that anyone on the invitee list is probably partly about serious biz. Also, with 8 teams instead of 12 like we&#039;ve had the last few seasons, that decreases the number of players that are fighting for a spot from 36 to 24. One can assume that most of the invites were sent based on good participation in past IDL seasons, since real good players like Bloodstrike weren&#039;t invited due to their participation (or lack thereof). But, as far as drafting will go, with only 24 people being drafted, everyone in the player pool can assume they have to have proven they have what it takes to compete in IDL if they want to be drafted, or possibly franchised. Yeah, the competition will be rough, and there&#039;ll, like most seasons, be absolutely no easy wins.<br /><br />Also, I wanna say I&#039;m honored to be a captain this year and look forward to kicking ass and taking names. : ) Let&#039;s get the show on the road!
