I don't know about the time zones thing, if it can be avoided. I'm sure some captains will want to make what they think is a favorable match up, and not consider the time zones.

I agree that the retainer fee seemed to work really well. I had originally just tossed that out there as a wild idea, and it turned out even better than I expected. Let's be sure to keep it.

I liked how the system of alternates worked.

One thing we're going to try in MiniHULA is to change the way the final match is played so that no one sits out. No one who's made it that far should "have" to sit out, nor should a captain "get" to sit out his worst player. The finals should represent the strength of the whole team. In the event that the teams split the matches 3-3, then each team will pick a champion to play the deciding match. We haven't done this yet, but we'll report back w/ the results of our experiment.
