Based off this:
A heavy majority are inactive. 47 haven’t updated yet, I guess 5 haven’t for weeks and 20 have “current update” having 11 below 100 TPE. Remove the 47 inactive and divide those 31 by the VHL teams and you have 6 players a piece.
Now whatever from last years group and boom. That’s just say another 6 all around and you have 12 players a team.
Doesnt sound like growing the league is quite needed. If recruitment slows down or let’s say isn’t as effective some seasons (or retention), then these numbers strongly dip and you’re left with low numbers and rosters.
We retire ire every 8. We need the number of “every retirement” to keep growing - growing the cycle to expand. Not just 2 good recruitment seasons imo.
