This is what I'm planning to tweak for season 15. Please voice objections here, if any.
-DISCORD BIDDING. An alternative for when the site is down, allowing for less cancelled playings. At least half of the current CSS contingent chats about the show on Discord... and after all, CSS originally was supposed to be in actual chat messages. The only disadvantage would be the group people who refuse to get on Discord on days the site is down. I don't want to inconvenience anyone in that group is strongly opposed to losing CSS playings, so please let me know.
-SHIFTING REQUIRED GAMES IN PLAYOFFS. I am planning on keeping one round of 15 games, with 10 required, and no leaderboard resets. But instead of any 10 of the 15, it would be at least 7 of the first 10, then at least 3 of the last 5. This would limit someone "coasting" to a title after a great first 10-12 games and keep things suspenseful until the final week.
Any other ideas are very welcome, too.
