Not sure of possible solutions. Maybe do 4 games in a night with a 6pm start? Straight DH's so you don't have the 10-15 min break for a new team to get warmed up (both at 8 and 9). Could also shorten the season from the current 48 week format we seem to have. It doesn't take 32 games to see who the top 6 teams are. Start playoffs sooner and make them "series" to promote rivalries. Would probably get people interested again. Most other leagues are done now, and people go on their vacations. Hard to fault someone for scheduling a trip and then missing games because we are so backed up.
