Erm care to elaborate as to why? not sure why it'd need delaying is there still any big issues that haven't been fixed that effects people preparing for the league?
Edit, sorry just read the thread below so no need to elaborate, it's a no for me though, but i do see where your coming from and probably would help some players prepare properly for the league.

Well, it's looking like it's going to be put back. But, well leave it run for another day or two, as only 17 have responded. A few more might want to give some input which ever way they want to vote.
What dates do you folks want to start on?

I can't believe we're even voting on this, if we put it back then we can only have ONE season this year, i'd much rather have TWO seasons in a year, doesn't that make much more sense?

Delaying the start of the league may help new players find a few good horse but it will also help the top SOPL players find even better horses than they already have. I think we should stick to the original start date and new players will have some maker horses from season 1 that they can use as a guide for season 2 that my plan anyway.

Have to agree with the No vote. As a league newbie, I'd much prefer from now to the start of season 2 to prepare/breed my league horses, with season 1 as a guide and introduction, than to have one extra month which I don't see will do much good.
Surely two seasons must be more beneficial than one.

last year was my first season too and i also used it as a learning curve, i found i learned alot by just taking part, i didn't set the league on fire with my horses but managed a few wins and now as a result i feel next season will be much better.
i have to agree also that a month wouldn't make much difference, especially not at the risk of losing 2 online seasons.

Someones idea of extending the upload window for TOM sounded good for all who want to enter. Did not know 2 seasons were done in the year which sounds really good, would be a shame to miss out on a season!
