As many managers would be aware there has been many discussions behind the scenes in the last few days. A large proportion of you were approached after some managers showed their dislike to our recently implemented finance system, to our surprise it seems to have been rejected by most managers and even those who had accepted it was a good idea had some issue with it.
The major concerns by our longer serving managers were that WCC is so great because it was so simple. This is a view held by the board and is the major factor in the success of the game, it is evident that many of these managers feel its a better way to go without it. We still accept that the idea has some merit but this one has been widly viewed as unworkable.
Other problems included the complications in keeping track of your own finances, the unrealistic player wages and the lack of progression available to lower league managers. The board has taken in the point of view of everyone who has been approached and we agree with the issues raised by all the people who had these concerns, its in the best interest of everyone to keep the majority of people happy and it seems the only outcome is to scrap the current WCC finance system.
This decision was not made lightly and in hinesight we allowed things to roll on as they were too long, it has taken a bout of initiative from a number of managers to make the large proportion of people happy. We are really hoping that we can recover from this set back and take WCC foward, there have been some positives to come out of this and its now important to concentrate on these. We have the closest competitions ever, we have more people involved currently, and over 20 more wanting to play. The submissions of teams is at an all time high and the opinions of managers are being listened to, we hope everyone can accept the decision that has been reached as well as what will come in the future. We appreciate the work that marc put into developing the system but as has been stressed it is unfortunately unworkable, his been a great servant for WCC and i hope all managers will still welcome him if hes around.
Blewy and I have agreed on one new introduction to WCC and that is the addition of a 17th man to squads as of next season. This will mean a 7th draft round and the idea is to give managers more freedom when choosing their squads, this idea may be changed slightly in the future but this is how it will work. We are currently discussing the idea of allowing people who get poor rookies to keep extra players from their current squad. This idea will be based around the trading of draft picks 3 and 4 but this has not been finalised.
As a result of the extra rookies that were simmed under the finance system earlier in the season we find it unfair that managers would be required to give these up, so to make it fair all managers will now recieve 5 rookies, if u have already been allocated 5 u will recieve no more, if you got 4 you will recieve 1 more and so on. This has been agreed upon and will not be discussed further. Of all your rookies you will now be allowed to keep 3, if you keep 13 players (must include 3 rookies) you will drop draft picks 3, 4 and 7. If 12 players are retained you will drop picks 3 and 4. You may still only keep a maximum of 10 players from your main 16 players you have after trading before the draft.

Edit: due to finance playing a part in physio injuries will be reset after this round, s you can consider all current injuries as 1 week to go, it will return to a normal chance of getting injuries after this week...
