I’m ok with it, just cut down on the player high-fives and drop the player/team Skype call.

Yeah, I think those were the two biggest problems with it this year and they are both solvable.

They went to a smaller theatre this year probably because they didn't need the extra room for the teams' staffs, but that meant there were only a couple of aisles for the players to walk down to the stage and they had to walk past a lot more other players on the way. This could be solved by redistributing how the players are seated to minimize the number of other players each one has to walk past once he's picked.

The Skype call was just bad and should be completely dropped. It wasn't as bad as the McDavid rose ceremony, but almost.


I wouldn't be surprised if they go back to the Sphere permanently.
