I've seen keeper leagues where there are weekly meetings to waive and pickup players and if you missed a few meetings your team was put on ice. This sounds a lot more manageble and a much better way to get started.
However, it should still be expected a couple of teams will orphan throughout the year and a couple of teams will become available in the summer. It's the nature of the beast, especially at the start. Over the course of several years though, there will be a common core of participants every year which will make this a ton of fun.

I agree completely. With your first point, it does look a bit like a clique. With the Heckle, thats the way it seemed. But I could understand why, the guys know each other and have had a blast playing stick and drinking. So I had to take the conformist approach and while not liking the result, I had to suck it up.
Regarding the weekly meetings, again I agree that this is the best way to ensure that GM's remain active. However for me, that would probably be a bit of a deal breaker for me. I cant commit to any specific times or a weekly schedule as my training over the next year will vary from week to week/ month to month.
As for perhaps getting a team down the road, I would be interested in that, however I would be concerned of having to take someones scraps over. It would be like inheriting the Edmonton Oilers.
