Yeah it's pretty even right now, 19 for 1 and 13 for 2. The rest not commenting dont care, I dunno?
Both are fine because well, the SC is not that serious hockey after all. But personally I'd like to see some change after three, same kind of tournaments. Obviously it's not changing the whole format but I really think that the Elite/Pro/Lite system would bring new taste for the SC and make the tournament even more balanced than before, which would be nice. Some (mostly elite) players reached me during the previous Cups (even though I wasn't in the NG Staff) about the bullshit that happens when he gets drafted to the team where the captain is maybe not that aware of the community.
Result? They saw their team in the draft -> rip moti. And this is no bullshit, this has happened to lots of guys, and you dont have to be even Elite player to get into this situation.
Option #2 is not an end of the world but... it's Summer Cup. Like, it's not hurting anyone to try something new once a year.
If there's any and I mean any kind of new ideas, bring em to the table.
