Glow Box
Just an Idea…
For the month of December, one additional activation period will be available to coaches of Black Box teams. Activation will begin at five minutes after the hour, and the draw will be at 10 minutes after the hour. In order to be eligible for this trial “Glow Box” draw, a coach will be required to activate exactly 5 Black Box teams, one from each of the 5 popular categories listed below:
A (Plug & Play): Orcs, Dwarf, Chaos Dwarf
B (Better with Age): Chaos, Nurgle, Pact
C (Bones & Moans): Necro, Undead, Khemri, Vamps
D (Agile): Dark Elves, Skaven, Slann, High Elves, Wood Elves, Pro Elves
E (Humans & Stunties): Norse, Human, Lizardmen, Amazon, Ogre, Underworld, Halfling/Goblin
Failure to activate a valid selection of 5 teams will simply exclude that coach from the draw. Pairing for the resulting games will follow the current Black Box pairing system. The popularity and traffic of this draw, as well as its effect on the traffic of the other Black Box draws, will be reviewed by FUMBBL staff at the end of the month.
Thoughts?

I like it! Maybe you should underline or bold the part where you mention this is a BONUS draw and not in any way taking away from the regular box.

unfortunately, it DOES take away from the regular box; because if I activate for regular box, I can't really activate for this; and if I activate for this, then I can't really activate for regular box.
If you wanted to do something like this, I would make it one of the usual 4 activations, but instead of normal activation, you have the requirements added. Publicize it lots and see how many people wait for that activation OR avoid that activation.

Nice idea... Do not agree with the cateogries as they are, but the idea is great

I like the idea of the 10 minutes draws, 15 minutes draws waste too much time.
About the 5 teams: I ever activate multiple teams for each of the categories listed, so it wouldn't be an issue for me.

Yea, I just stole the E.L.F. catagories. If I had to do them myself, I think they'd be Flashy, Bashy, Fickle, and Crashy.
Flashy = Elves, Skaven
Bashy = A,B + Undead and Khemri
Fickle = Humans, Norse, Zon, Necro, Slann, etc. (Ag3)
Crashy = Stunty, Vamps, and Ogres

These categories are way better.
