While the enthusiasm is great, I hope MCA has proper infrastructure to handle so many players during trials. Last time some talented players didn't get fair opportunities due to mismanagement.

The addition of two new teams is interesting. Hope they maintain competitive balance though - last season some teams were clearly stronger than others.
