Although I prefer to be in a real time league that has 24 teams, when 5 are without owners about 145 players are off limits for trading purposes. So if we can't get new owners for these teams then it goes without saying, that the league must go down to 20 teams. I have one real time team and one traditional team and the contraction draft was a bonus for those that enjoy trying to improve their team thru the drafts. What surprises me is that I have yet to see where PB advertises to try to fill the vacancies.
