Unlike an open-ended keeper league where you basically go from year to year with no goal in sight, this league specifically sets a five season limit as its culmination. The benefits of a set end to the league should be a benefit in several ways. First and foremost, setting an end date to the league was a must for the monetary reasons. The end of the league will serve primarily as the final pay-out date. After the five year period has expired, a large cash sum will be paid proportionately to the top two managers (this is explained in greater detail in the "Pay-outs" section). The other expected benefit is a psychological one for the managers. Without a goal in sight, a standard keeper league manager may lose his purpose and focus from year to year. The league seems to lull as teams and players do not perform up to par year in and year out. With a goal in sight, managers know their purpose � To field the best team for the next five years. Suddenly there is rhyme and reason to every move � if unsuccessful season one, a manager had better get on their horse because they only have four seasons left to improve and win the big pay day. And finally, and perhaps most importantly, a loser after season five suddenly has a reason to be revamped should we want to continue. |
