Oh boy oh boy, are you ready for another tirade about Championship Week? No? Well too bad, you're gonna get it anyway :D . In my opinion we should consider getting rid of CW altogether and replace it with something new, fresh and fun. I just don't get what CW adds to the league at this point, it's so stale and repetitive no matter how much work the person in charge puts into the specific tasks, especially for those members who have been here for a while. Nobody reads the contributions anyway nd in a world where its often the same teams in the finals, nobody really cares about the "honoring the finalists" part anymore.
I also think it's a bit strange how we have been looking to make things more fun and accessible and give people options to skip tasks through PT passes or affiliations with other leagues, but then we have this massive PT dump once every season that everyone just grinds out without actually enjoying it. People only tolerate it because it pays out a lot of TPE, not because they actually enjoy it. Which is why I think we should be giving out those same TPE through other means. We currently seem to live in a landscape where we are kind of stingy in terms of TPE handed out to not let inflation creep up - which makes it a bit of a headscratcher for me why we have so many of our precious available seasonal TPE tied up in such a joyless task. Just get rid of it and pay out those TPE through other means, be it new and fresh tasks, or add them on to the activity check or something if you want to make things easier for lower activity members.
