The Monday Poll

My original thought--btw, you slackers were no help at all, way to keep the streak alive--was to do something about which teams will be playing in the PSP pro division this year but when I thought about how to frame such a poll it became obvious that would, at a minimum, be boring. Last year there were 10 teams (except for Cup with 12) and if Impact drops out it makes a place for 187 Crew. If Impact doesn't drop out there's the questions swirling around Shock's status but that's pretty much it. Not much uncertainty beyond the logistics of how the division will function, so--
What about a similar poll for the CPL? You know, the Millennium Series equivalent. Then it occurred to me that not even the Eurokids care all that much--unless they're actually playing in the CPL so if the Monday Poll is gonna be about a pro division to kick off the new year, and it is, dammit, it's gotta be about the NPPL. There's rumors Hollywood HK (you can't be serious) is gonna get a spot and Mutiny didn't show for Vegas last year and then there's Shock in disarray (again) and will Blast play or won't they plus teams having to prep for the new format so all in all there seems more room for rumor and opinion in a NPPL poll.

The first Monday Poll question of 2012 is: Which of the following teams won't be playing in the NPPL Pro division in 2012? To be followed by a long-ish list of, doh!, teams that might or might not be participating in the NPPL this coming year. You may vote for as many options as you wish. As usual the final test will be graded on a curve because otherwise you'd all fail. So what are you waiting for? It's time to cast your vote. Go on.

That sounds like a vote for Mutiny then.

How can I possibly vote that a random Canadian team wont play?

Baca Loco said...

Easy. You click on that option with your mouse. Besides, it isn't random--it's unnamed. As in there have been a few rumors about a new team being formed based in Canada so I threw it into the mix.

Oops, my reading comprehension sucks because I voted the opposite.

You won't be alone.

Heard Blast was done this season. That was my vote

By clicking "Unnamed Canadian Team", you are voting for "No new teams from Canada".

Looking like PSP might swap a team and NPPL is about to lose a chunk of teams and be forced to find a new group of suckers.
